nectriapyrone D

CHEBI:142799 EXACT SEEDED

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REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record.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.

A member of the class of nectriapyrones that is nectriapyrone that carries a hydroxy group at position 4. It is a fungal metabolite isolated from Diaporthe gulyae.

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, 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.

Taxon	Basis	Cluster	Evidence
Pyricularia oryzae 70-15 NCBITaxon:242507	BGC_CHARACTERIZED	mibig:BGC0002155	PMID:30443971

Occurrences 2

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.

1	NEC2 O-methyltransferase UniProtKB:G4NEA9	RHEA:58748	CHEBI:142640 → CHEBI:142639	DOI:10.1002/cbic.201800620

Step 1: NEC2 methylates desmethylnectriapyrone to the 4-O-methyl 2-pyrone nectriapyrone; this single step records the NEC2/RHEA:58748 tailoring reaction in Pyricularia oryzae 70-15 (mibig:BGC0002155) and leaves upstream NEC1 polyketide assembly and downstream conversion to nectriapyrone D unexpanded.

Mechanism & Biosynthesis Overview

Causal graph — biosynthesis 4 nodes, 3 edges

Pyricularia oryzae 70-15 NEC2 O-methylates desmethylnectriapyrone to form nectriapyrone upstream of nectriapyrone D.
