Draft Genome of Streptomyces tsukubaensis NRRL 18488, the Producer of the Clinically Important Immunosuppressant Tacrolimus (FK506)
2012
The macrocyclic polyketide tacrolimus (FK506) is a potent immunosuppressant that prevents T-cell proliferation produced solely by Streptomyces species. We report here the first draft genome sequence of a true FK506 producer, Streptomyces tsukubaensis NRRL 18488, the first tacrolimus-producing strain that was isolated and that contains the full tacrolimus biosynthesis gene cluster.
