Two paths, one destination: Biosynthesis of N-α-trimethyl-2-thiohistidine (ergothioneine) is a frequent trait in cyanobacteria. Evidence is presented of convergent evolution of ergothioneine biosynthesis. Ancient cyanobacteria may have adapted an ovothiol biosynthetic enzyme to produce ergothioneine as a response to changing environmental conditions.

蓝藻中麦角硫氨酸生物合成的趋同进化

两条路径,一个目的地N -α-三甲基-2-硫代组氨酸(麦角硫氨酸)的生物合成是蓝细菌的常见特征。提供了麦角硫氨酸生物合成趋同进化的证据。古代的蓝细菌可能已经采用了一种卵硫醇生物合成酶来产生麦角硫因,以应对不断变化的环境条件。
