Brasilicardin A, BraA, is a secondary metabolite produced by the bacterium Nocardia terpenica , and a promising drug due to its potent immunosuppressive activity and low cytotoxicity. Currently, a semisynthetic approach confers production of a complete compound but suffers from insufficient heterologous biosynthesis of BraA intermediates used in th...
Streptomyces are well-known producers of valuable secondary metabolites which include a large variety of antibiotics and important model organisms for developmental studies in multicellular bacteria. The conserved transcriptional regulator AdpA of Streptomyces exerts a pleiotropic effect on cellular processes, including the morphological differenti...
Brasilicardin A (1) consists of an unusual anti/syn/anti‐perhydrophenanthrene skeleton with a carbohydrate side chain and an amino acid moiety. It exhibits potent immunosuppressive activity, yet its mode of action differs from standard drugs that are currently in use. Further pre‐clinical evaluation of this promising, biologically active natural pr...

Brasilicardin A (BraA) is a promising immunosuppressive compound produced naturally by the pathogenic bacterium Nocardia terpenica IFM 0406. Heterologous host expression of brasilicardin gene cluster showed to be efficient to bypass the safety issues, low production levels and lack of genetic tools related with the use of native producer. Further i...
The bacterium Nocardia terpenica IFM 0406 is known as the producer of the immunosuppressant brasilicardin A. Here, we report the completely sequenced genome of strain IFM 0406, which facilitates the heterologous expression of the brasilicardin biosynthetic gene cluster but also unveils the intriguing biosynthetic capacity of the strain to produce s...
