Psymberin

Psymberin, also known as iciniastatin A, is a cytotoxin derived from sea sponges. It was discovered by two independent research groups in 2004. Psymberin was found to be highly bioactive as it showed LC50s at nanomolar concentrations against various types of tumors.〔〔
==Biosynthesis==

The biosynthesis of psymberin became of interest when it was found to have a very similar structure to pederin, a natural product derived from the ''Paederus'' genus of beetles. This led researchers to investigate the genes of the organism that code for the respective natural product. A trans-AT polyketide synthase cluster, designated as the ''Psy'' cluster, contained two large groups of genes coding for two PKSs.〔 The smaller gene group, ''psyA'', encoded a PKS with three modules, while the larger ''psyD'' encoded a ten module PKS. This ten module PsyD protein is, to date, the protein with the highest reported number of PKS modules.〔 Large portions of the gene cluster ''psyD'' have very close counterparts in the pederin gene clusters. This indicates that psymberin and pederin are both structurally and biosynthetically related. The figure below shows the proposed biosynthesis of psymberin based on analysis of the gene clusters. Roman numerals represent which clade each Ketosynthase domain belongs. The domains outlined in red represent carrier proteins. The following abbreviations correspond to the figure below: GNAT, GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase; CR, crotonase; KR, ketoreductase; KS0, non-elongating ketoreductase; OMT, O-methyltranfserase; C, nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) condensation domain; A, NRPS adenylation domain; MT, Methyltransferase; DH, deydratase; TE, Thioesterase; ?, unknown.
