How many secondary metabolic pathwaysare there in a single species?
What are they producing?
Do these closely related specieshave orthologous pathway genes?
Automated annotation by sequencing institutesmakes gene finding much easier:
Multienzyme complexes like NRPS and PKShave recognisable domains
Secondary metabolic pathway genes tend to be clustered

alb-1 (=wA)
Melanin cluster in A. fumigatus
• This cluster is not conserved in Ana/Aoa• More like N. crassa melanin genes• wA is in a conserved syntenic region in both species• deletions do affect spore pigment colour• pigment biosynthesis pathway may be different in Afu1
Any other orthologues amonst the PKS genes?
Phylogeny done by Resham Kulkani at TIGRUsing KS domain of PKS/Fatty Acid Synthase
wA/alb1 orthologues
PKS for aflatoxin in 2 species only
Possible orthologues amongst unknown PKS?
Hybrid PKS/NRPSKS-AT-CON-AMP-PP
In all 3 species, but not really orthologues?
Conclusions
Few true orthologues across the genus AspergillusEach species has its own repertoireOrthologues often found in less closely related species
Gene/product relationship requires functional analysisin most cases
