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REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record.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 saccharide, nrps, from MIBiG.
Producer organisms 1
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.

Occurrences 1
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.
Mechanism & Biosynthesis Overview
Causal graph — biosynthesis 4 nodes, 3 edges
Partial Amycolatopsis balhimycina balhimycin biosynthesis graph for OxyC-catalyzed cytochrome P450 oxidative cyclization.
| Subject | Predicate | Object | Notes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OxyC cyclization substrate | is cyclized by | OxyC cytochrome P450 | MITE represents OxyC as installing a biaryl ether crosslink in a balhimycin-pathway intermediate; the exact submitted substrate and product structures are absent from local records. | DOI:10.1016/j.jbiotec.2006.04.009 |
| heme | serves as cofactor for | OxyC cytochrome P450 | MITE lists heme as OxyC's organic cofactor and UniProt annotates the O87675 entry with cytochrome P450, heme and iron features. | https://mite.bioinformatics.nl/repository/MITE0000027 |
| OxyC cytochrome P450 | forms | OxyC-cyclized balhimycin intermediate | The MITE product corresponds to the balhimycin precursor after OxyC introduces the second biaryl ether crosslink between hpg5 and dhpg7. | DOI:10.1016/j.jbiotec.2006.04.009 |

Causal graph — biosynthesis 6 nodes, 5 edges
Partial Amycolatopsis balhimycina balhimycin biosynthesis graph for BhaA-catalyzed FAD-dependent beta-hydroxytyrosine chlorination during nonribosomal peptide assembly.
| Subject | Predicate | Object | Notes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| module 2 beta-hydroxytyrosine substrate | is chlorinated by | BhaA FAD-dependent halogenase | MITE represents BhaA as chlorinating the beta-hydroxytyrosine residue of a balhimycin precursor, probably while the substrate is bound to the module 2 PCP domain of the NRPS. | DOI:10.1016/s1074-5521(02)00101-1 |
| BhaA FAD-dependent halogenase | forms | module 2 chlorinated beta-hydroxytyrosine intermediate | The MITE module 2 product adds chlorine to the beta-hydroxytyrosine aryl group of a balhimycin-pathway precursor; the exact substrate and product structures are absent from local records. | DOI:10.1016/s1074-5521(02)00101-1 |
| module 6 beta-hydroxytyrosine substrate | is chlorinated by | BhaA FAD-dependent halogenase | MITE represents a second BhaA reaction that chlorinates the beta-hydroxytyrosine residue of a balhimycin precursor, probably while the substrate is bound to the module 6 PCP domain. | DOI:10.1016/s1074-5521(02)00101-1 |
| BhaA FAD-dependent halogenase | forms | module 6 chlorinated beta-hydroxytyrosine intermediate | The MITE module 6 product adds the second chlorine atom to a balhimycin-pathway precursor; the exact substrate and product structures are absent from local records. | DOI:10.1016/s1074-5521(02)00101-1 |
| FAD | serves as cofactor for | BhaA FAD-dependent halogenase | MITE lists FAD as BhaA's organic cofactor. | https://mite.bioinformatics.nl/repository/MITE0000028
