This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0001859) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, other (unspecified), in particular fosfomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Pseudomonas syringae [1,2]. This family is predominantly found in proteobacteria. Some members of this family have been putatively identified as DNA repair proteins.
