Genes located within the identified gene clusters of endocrocin 5 (Enc), emodin 1 (Emo), geodin 19 (Ged), trypacidin 21 (Tpc), pestheic acid 22 (Pta), cladofulvin 11 (Cla), monodictyphenone 12 (Mdp), the agnestins: e.g.30, 31 (Agn), the cryptosporioptides: e.g.34–36 (Dmx), the secalonic acids from Claviceps purpurea39, 40 (Cpur) and neosartorin 38 (Nsr). Genes on each row are considered likely to encode functionally homologous proteins due to high% protein identity. SDR = short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase.

a

EmoB was not identified in the original analysis and is missing from the MiBIG database. It was identified during the writing of this review, through softberry analysis of the genomic sequence.

b

Putative glutathione S-transferases are listed in two places (Grisandiene only, and mdp only) due to demonstrating protein identity below 25%, suggesting a lack of functional homology.
