Peptides derived from Kex2-processed repeat proteins are widely distributed and highly diverse in the Fungi kingdom

Abstract Background Recently, a gene cluster responsible for biosynthesis of ustiloxin in Aspergillus flavus was identified as the first case of a ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) synthetic pathway in Ascomycota. RiPPs are biosynthesized from precursor peptide...
