Grounding review: No 3-star ChEBI entry shares this structure, so the record keeps a content-hashed identifier.
What these status tags mean

Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.

Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.

Filing pathway

Amino acids and peptides — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is other, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 2

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.

Biosynthesis curated

Written by a curator with claim-level evidence on each step; not derived from a source. This is what the rest of the record exists to support.

Step 1: This curates the Streptomyces clavuligerus ATCC 27064 BGC0000843/CM000913.1 cas1 clavaminate synthase 1 contribution to the CAS-derived clavaminic-acid pool that feeds alanylclavam biosynthesis. CAS2 can partially complement CAS1, so this entry does not assert that CAS1 is singly required or that the exact downstream route from clavaminic acid to alanylclavam is known.

Partial Streptomyces clavuligerus BGC0000843 alanylclavam biosynthesis graph for CAS1 contribution to the common clavaminic-acid pool.

SubjectPredicateObjectNotesEvidence
CAS1 contributes to CAS-derived clavaminic-acid pool The edge is limited to CAS1 and CAS2 contribution to a shared clavaminic-acid pool and does not assert a specific alanylclavam phenotype for single cas1 disruption.

    CAS1 and CAS2 contribute to a common pool of clavaminic acid
    notes
    Mosher et al. concluded from the cas1 single-mutant and cas1/cas2 double-mutant phenotypes that both CAS isoenzymes contribute to a shared intracellular clavaminic-acid pool.

CAS-derived clavaminic-acid pool contributes to alanylclavam Clavaminic acid is supported as a shared branch-point precursor to clavam metabolites; the exact clavaminic-acid-to-alanylclavam transformations remain tentative.

    snippet
    serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of all clavams produced by S. clavuligerus
    notes
    Mosher et al. linked the shared clavaminic-acid pool to S. clavuligerus clavam biosynthesis; this curates only that common precursor relationship upstream of the alanylclavam branch.

Every edge carries its own citation; an uncited edge is refused by the corpus tests.
