(a) The patellamide gene cluster contains genes patA to patG, coding for proteins PatA to PatG. The PatE protein contains: (1) a 37 residue leader and (2) two core peptides, which are processed to give patellamides C and A [11]. The core peptides are flanked at their N and C termini
(b) the final natural product patellamides C and A showing the chemical transformations during post-translational processing. The closely related patellin which is prenylated is shown
(c) the enzymes which tailor the core peptide. PatG encodes two functions and in addition has a DUF. PatA encodes the protease and also posses the same DUF.
