naturalproductmech:mibig-5d539649c4 MINTED SEEDED

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REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record.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

Stereochemistry	undefined stereocentres — the InChIKey does not distinguish this compound from its stereoisomers

Filing pathway

Unclassified — 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 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.

Taxon	Basis	Cluster	Evidence
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) NCBITaxon:100226	BGC_CHARACTERIZED	mibig:BGC0000315	PMID:12445768

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.

Step	Enzyme	Reaction	Substrate → product	Evidence
1	HmaS 4-hydroxymandelate synthase UniProtKB:Q9Z4X7		CHEBI:15999 → CHEBI:17210	DOI:10.1016/S1074-5521(02)00252-1

Step 1: SCO3229/HmaS is curated as the 4-hydroxymandelate synthase that supplies the L-4-hydroxyphenylglycine branch of CDA3a biosynthesis. HmaS sits at the first step of the pathway from 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to 4-hydroxyphenylglycine; the exact SCO3229 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to (S)-4-hydroxymandelate reaction is inferred from the HmaS assignment and therefore kept proposed.
