komodoquinone B

CHEBI:167002 EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of tetracenequinones that is 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrotetracene-5,12-dione carrying hydroxy groups at positions 1, 6, 8S, 10S and 11 and a methyl group at position 8S. It is the aglycone of komodoquinone A which was isolated from the marine bacterium Streptomyces sp. KS3.

Filing pathway

Polyketides — 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 pks, saccharide, 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.

Open questions 1

shared-structure — This structure is reported by more than one MIBiG entry: BGC0001851, BGC0001852. Confirm they describe the same compound rather than an upstream cross-reference error.
