Differentiation-inducing factor 1 (DIF-1 10, Figure 45.6) is a polyketide produced by the social amoeba Dictyoste-lium discoideum, which induces differentiation in order to produce a reproductive fruiting body. Although the production of the polyketide itself has been studied, the nature of the chlorination was unknown until recently. Sequencing of the Dictyostelium genome had revealed a...
