1 Aflatoxin biosynthesis and regulation Kenneth Ehrlich Southern Regional Research Center New rleans
2 Introduction AF/ST biosynthesis involves expression of at least 25 genes Genes are organized in a cluster or clusters Genes are coordinately regulated The pathway-specific transcription factor, AflR, and globally acting transcription factors regulate biosynthesis Regulation of biosynthesis is different in different AF-producing species

10 ther levels of regulation LaeA protein methyltransferase: affects only 2º metabolite clusters; may specifically affect pre mrna stability, translation PKA VeA mediated by G-protein signaling factors: FlbA and FluG possible transcription factor: mediates formation of both sclerotia and AF; target is unknown.
11 Epigenetic regulation Chromosomal position of gene cluster DNA methylation of GC-rich regions in subtelomeric region Histone modifications: acetylation, methylation; phosphorylation
12 Conclusions Polyketide formation utilizes a Fas-derived starter unit and an iterative PKS Regulation of AF biosynthesis involves AflR and global transcription factors Some biosynthesis steps involve several oxidative enzymes, but no stable intermediates are detectable
