Genome mining is a rational approach to discovering new natural products. The genome sequence analysis of Streptomyces sp. LZ35 revealed the presence of a putative ansamycin gene cluster (nam). Constitutive overexpression of the pathway-specific transcriptional regulatory gene nam1 successfully activated the nam gene cluster, and three novel naphthalenic octaketide ansamycins were discovered with unprecedented n-pentylmalonyl-CoA or n-butylmalonyl-CoA extender units. This study represents the first example of discovering novel ansamycin scaffolds via activation of a cryptic gene cluster.
