The natural product pepticinnamin E potently inhibits protein farnesyl transferases and has potential applications in treating cancer and malaria. Pepticinnamin E contains a rare N‐terminal cinnamoyl moiety as well as several nonproteinogenic amino acids, including the unusual 2‐chloro‐3‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxy‐N‐methyl‐L‐phenylalanine. The biosynthesis of pepticinnamin E has remained uncharacterized because its original producing strain is no longer available. Here we identified a gene cluster (pcm) for this natural product in a new producer,Actinobacteria bacteriumOK006, by means of a targeted rediscovery strategy. We demonstrated that thepcmcluster is responsible for the biosynthesis of pepticinnamin E, a nonribosomal peptide/polyketide hybrid. We also characterized a keyO‐methyltransferase that modifies 3,4‐dihydroxy‐l‐phenylalanine. Our work has identified the gene cluster for pepticinnamins for the first time and sets the stage for elucidating the unique chemistry required for biosynthesis.
