AI Article Synopsis

  • Streptomyces silvensis produces nonribosomal peptides that inhibit human oxytocin and vasopressin receptors.
  • The genome sequence of S. silvensis ATCC 53525 was analyzed and found to contain multiple biosynthetic gene clusters.
  • This organism shows potential as a valuable resource for developing new drugs through genome-guided discovery.

Article Abstract

Streptomyces silvensis produces nonribosomal peptides that act as antagonists of the human oxytocin and vasopressin receptors. Here, we present the genome sequence of S. silvensis ATCC 53525 and demonstrate that this organism possesses a number of additional biosynthetic gene clusters and might be a promising source for genome-guided drug discovery efforts.
