Genomic sequencing of actinomycetes has revealed the presence of numerous gene clusters seemingly capable of natural product biosynthesis, yet most clusters are cryptic under laboratory conditions. Bioinformatics analysis of the completely sequenced genome of Streptomyces chattanoogensis L10 (CGMCC 2644) revealed a silent angucycline biosynthetic gene cluster. The overexpression of a pathway‐specific activator gene under the constitutive ermE* promoter successfully triggered the expression of the angucycline biosynthetic genes. Two novel members of the angucycline antibiotic family, chattamycins A and B, were further isolated and elucidated. Biological activity assays demonstrated that chattamycin B possesses good antitumor activities against human cancer cell lines and moderate antibacterial activities. The results presented here provide a feasible method to activate silent angucycline biosynthetic gene clusters to discover potential new drug leads. 相似文献

Genome Mining of the Hitachimycin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster: Involvement of a Phenylalanine‐2,3‐aminomutase in Biosynthesis 下载免费PDF全文

Hitachimycin is a macrolactam antibiotic with (S)‐β‐phenylalanine (β‐Phe) at the starter position of its polyketide skeleton. To understand the incorporation mechanism of β‐Phe and the modification mechanism of the unique polyketide skeleton, the biosynthetic gene cluster for hitachimycin in Streptomyces scabrisporus was identified by genome mining. The identified gene cluster contains a putative phenylalanine‐2,3‐aminomutase (PAM), five polyketide synthases, four β‐amino‐acid‐carrying enzymes, and a characteristic amidohydrolase. A hitA knockout mutant showed no hitachimycin production, but antibiotic production was restored by feeding with (S)‐β‐Phe. We also confirmed the enzymatic activity of the HitA PAM. The results suggest that the identified gene cluster is responsible for the biosynthesis of hitachimycin. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for hitachimycin, including a unique polyketide skeletal transformation mechanism, is proposed. 相似文献

Macrolide‐pipecolate natural products, such as rapamycin ( 1 ) and FK‐506 ( 2 ), are renowned modulators of FK506‐binding proteins (FKBPs). The nocardiopsins, from Nocardiopsis sp. CMB‐M0232, are the newest members of this structural class. Here, the biosynthetic pathway for nocardiopsins A–D ( 4 – 7 ) is revealed by cloning, sequencing, and bioinformatic analyses of the nsn gene cluster. In vitro evaluation of recombinant NsnL revealed that this lysine cyclodeaminase catalyzes the conversion of L ‐lysine into the L ‐pipecolic acid incorporated into 4 and 5 . Bioinformatic analyses supported the conjecture that a linear nocardiopsin precursor is equipped with the hydroxy group required for macrolide closure in a previously unobserved manner by employing a P450 epoxidase (NsnF) and limonene epoxide hydrolase homologue (NsnG). The nsn cluster also encodes candidates for tetrahydrofuran group biosynthesis. The nocardiopsin pathway provides opportunities for engineering of FKBP‐binding metabolites and for probing new enzymology in nature's polyketide tailoring arsenal. 相似文献

The structurally intriguing bicyclic ketal moiety of tirandamycin is common to several acyl‐tetramic acid antibiotics, and is a key determinant of biological activity. We have identified the tirandamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from the environmental marine isolate Streptomyces sp. 307–9, thus providing the first genetic insight into the biosynthesis of this natural product scaffold. Sequence analysis revealed a hybrid polyketide synthase–nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene cluster with a colinear domain organization, which is entirely consistent with the core structure of the tirandamycins. We also identified genes within the cluster that encode candidate tailoring enzymes for elaboration and modification of the bicyclic ketal system. Disruption of tamI, which encodes a presumed cytochrome P450, led to a mutant strain deficient in production of late stage tirandamycins that instead accumulated tirandamycin C, an intermediate devoid of any post assembly‐line oxidative modifications. 相似文献

Genome mining is a powerful method for finding novel secondary metabolites. In our study on the biosynthetic gene cluster for the cyclic octapeptides surugamides A–E (inhibitors of cathepsin B), we found a putative gene cluster consisting of four successive non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes, surA, surB, surC, and surD. Prediction of amino acid sequence based on the NRPSs and gene inactivation revealed that surugamides A–E are produced by two NRPS genes, surA and surD, which were separated by two NRPS genes, surB and surC. The latter genes are responsible for the biosynthesis of an unrelated peptide, surugamide F. The pattern of intercalation observed in the sur genes is unprecedented. The structure of surugamide F, a linear decapeptide containing one 3‐amino‐2‐methylpropionic acid (AMPA) residue, was determined by spectroscopic methods and was confirmed by solid‐phase peptide synthesis. 相似文献

Indolizidine alkaloids, which have versatile bioactivities, are produced by various organisms. Although the biosynthesis of some indolizidine alkaloids has been studied, the enzymatic machinery for their biosynthesis in Streptomyces remains elusive. Here, we report the identification and analysis of the biosynthetic gene cluster for iminimycin, an indolizidine alkaloid with a 6-5-3 tricyclic system containing an iminium cation from Streptomyces griseus. The gene cluster has 22 genes, including four genes encoding polyketide synthases (PKSs), which consist of eight modules in total. In vitro analysis of the first module revealed that its acyltransferase domain selects malonyl-CoA, although predicted to select methylmalonyl-CoA. Inactivation of seven tailoring enzyme-encoding genes and structural elucidation of four compounds accumulated in mutants provided important insights into iminimycin biosynthesis, although some of these compounds appeared to be shunt products. This study expands our knowledge of the biosynthetic machinery of indolizidine alkaloids and the enzymatic chemistry of PKS. 相似文献

Salinipyrone and Pacificanone Are Biosynthetic By‐products of the Rosamicin Polyketide Synthase 下载免费PDF全文

Salinipyrones and pacificanones are structurally related polyketides from Salinispora pacifica CNS‐237 that are proposed to arise from the same modular polyketide synthase (PKS) assembly line. Genome sequencing revealed a large macrolide PKS gene cluster that codes for the biosynthesis of rosamicin A and a series of new macrolide antibiotics. Mutagenesis experiments unexpectedly correlated salinipyrone and pacificanone biosynthesis to the rosamicin octamodule Spr PKS. Remarkably, this bifurcated polyketide pathway illuminates a series of enzymatic domain‐ and module‐skipping reactions that give rise to natural polyketide product diversity. Our findings enlarge the growing knowledge of polyketide biochemistry and illuminate potential challenges in PKS bioengineering. 相似文献

FD‐891 is a 16‐membered cytotoxic antibiotic macrolide that is especially active against human leukemia such as HL‐60 and Jurkat cells. We identified the FD‐891 biosynthetic (gfs) gene cluster from the producer Streptomyces graminofaciens A‐8890 by using typical modular type I polyketide synthase (PKS) genes as probes. The gfs gene cluster contained five typical modular type I PKS genes (gfsA, B, C, D, and E), a cytochrome P450 gene (gfsF), a methyltransferase gene (gfsG), and a regulator gene (gfsR). The gene organization of PKSs agreed well with the basic polyketide skeleton of FD‐891 including the oxidation states and α‐alkyl substituent determined by the substrate specificities of the acyltransferase (AT) domains. To clarify the involvement of the gfs genes in the FD‐891 biosynthesis, the P450 gfsF gene was inactivated; this resulted in the loss of FD‐891 production. Instead, the gfsF gene‐disrupted mutant accumulated a novel FD‐891 analogue 25‐O‐methyl‐FD‐892, which lacked the epoxide and the hydroxyl group of FD‐891. Furthermore, the recombinant GfsF enzyme coexpressed with putidaredoxin and putidaredoxin reductase converted 25‐O‐methyl‐FD‐892 into FD‐891. In the course of the GfsF reaction, 10‐deoxy‐FD‐891 was isolated as an enzymatic reaction intermediate, which was also converted into FD‐891 by GfsF. Therefore, it was clearly found that the cytochrome P450 GfsF catalyzes epoxidation and hydroxylation in a stepwise manner in the FD‐891 biosynthesis. These results clearly confirmed that the identified gfs genes are responsible for the biosynthesis of FD‐891 in S. graminofaciens. 相似文献

Streptazone derivatives isolated from Streptomyces species are piperidine alkaloids with a cyclopenta[b]pyridine scaffold. Previous studies indicated that these compounds are polyketides, but the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for their synthesis are unknown. Here, we have identified the streptazone E biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces sp. MSC090213JE08, which encodes a modular type I PKS and tailoring enzymes that include an aminotransferase, three oxidoreductases, and two putative cyclases. The functions of the six tailoring enzymes were analyzed by gene disruption, and two putative biosynthetic intermediates that accumulated in particular mutants were structurally elucidated. On the basis of these results, we propose a pathway for the biosynthesis of streptazone E in which the two putative cyclases of the nuclear transport factor 2–like superfamily are responsible for C?C bond formation coupled with epoxide ring opening to give the five‐membered ring of streptazone E. 相似文献

Minimization of the Thiolactomycin Biosynthetic Pathway Reveals that the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme TlmF Is Required for Five‐Membered Thiolactone Ring Formation 下载免费PDF全文

Thiolactomycin (TLM) belongs to a class of rare and unique thiotetronate antibiotics that inhibit bacterial fatty acid synthesis. Although this group of natural product antibiotics was first discovered over 30 years ago, the study of TLM biosynthesis remains in its infancy. We recently discovered the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) for TLM from the marine bacterium Salinispora pacifica CNS‐863. Here, we report the investigation of TLM biosynthetic logic through mutagenesis and comparative metabolic analyses. Our results revealed that only four genes (tlmF, tlmG, tlmH, and tlmI) are required for the construction of the characteristic γ‐thiolactone skeleton of this class of antibiotics. We further showed that the cytochrome P450 TlmF does not directly participate in sulfur insertion and C?S bond formation chemistry but rather in the construction of the five‐membered thiolactone ring as, upon its deletion, we observed the alternative production of the six‐membered δ‐thiolactomycin. Our findings pave the way for future biochemical investigation of the biosynthesis of this structurally unique group of thiotetronic acid natural products. 相似文献

Four new analogues of the gilvocarcin‐type aryl‐C‐glycoside antitumor compounds, namely 4′‐hydroxy gilvocarcin V (4′‐OH‐GV), 4′‐hydroxy gilvocarcin M, 4′‐hydroxy gilvocarcin E and 12‐demethyl‐defucogilvocarcin V, were produced through inactivation of the gilU gene. The 4′‐OH‐analogues showed improved activity against lung cancer cell lines as compared to their parent compounds without 4′‐OH group (gilvocarcins V and E). The structures of the sugar‐containing new mutant products indicate that the enzyme GilU acts as an unusual ketoreductase involved in the biosynthesis of the C‐glycosidically linked deoxysugar moiety of the gilvocarcins. The structures of the new gilvocarcins indicate substrate flexibility of the post‐polyketide synthase modifying enzymes, particularly the C‐glycosyltransferase and the enzyme responsible for the sugar ring contraction. The results also shed light into biosynthetic sequence of events in the late steps of biosynthetic pathway of gilvocarcin V. 相似文献

The biologically active compound mensacarcin is produced by Streptomyces bottropensis. The cosmid cos2 contains a large part of the mensacarcin biosynthesis gene cluster. Heterologous expression of this cosmid in Streptomyces albus J1074 led to the production of the intermediate didesmethylmensacarcin (DDMM). In order to gain more insights into the biosynthesis, gene inactivation experiments were carried out by λ‐Red/ET‐mediated recombination, and the deletion mutants were introduced into the host S. albus. In total, 23 genes were inactivated. Analysis of the metabolic profiles of the mutant strains showed the complete collapse of DDMM biosynthesis, but upon overexpression of the SARP regulatory gene msnR1 in each mutant new intermediates were detected. The compounds were isolated, and their structures were elucidated. Based on the results the specific functions of several enzymes were determined, and a pathway for mensacarcin biosynthesis is proposed. 相似文献
