Bacterial polyynes are highly active natural products with a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activities. However, their detailed mechanism of action remains unclear. Through integrating comparative genomics, transcriptomics, functional genetics, and metabolomics analysis, we identified a unique polyyne resistance gene, masL (encoding acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase), from the biosynthesis gene cluster (BGC) dominant for the production of antifungal polyynes (massilin A, massilin B, collimonin C, and collimonin D) in Massilia sp. YMA4. Phylogenic and chemotaxonomic analyses characterized the core architecture of bacterial polyyne BGC. The crystallographic analysis of the MasL-collimonin C complex indicated that bacterial polyynes serve as a covalent inhibitor of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase. Moreover, we confirmed that the bacterial polyynes disrupted cell membrane integrity and inhibited cell viability of Candida albicans by targeting ERG10 (homolog of MasL). Overall, understanding of the antifungal mechanism of bacterial polyynes presented herein will be useful for the development of polyynes for fungal infections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
