The nargenicin family of antibiotic macrolides comprise a group of bacterial natural products with a rare ether bridged cis-decalin moiety and a narrow spectrum of activity. Most family members were identified almost four decades ago and were placed on the shelf due to the numbers of broad-spectrum compounds available at the time. However, in light of rising rates of antimicrobial resistance, there has been a renewed interest in the use of narrow-spectrum antimicrobials. Here, we review the history of this family of compounds, including synthetic approaches, and highlight the recently uncovered genetic basis for nargenicin production. Given the renewed pharmaceutical interest in these compounds, we also investigate structure–activity relationships among these molecules, with a view to the future development of members of this unusual antibiotic family. 相似文献

Cyanobactins are a rapidly growing family of linear and cyclic peptides produced by cyanobacteria. Kawaguchipeptins A and B, two macrocyclic undecapeptides reported earlier from Microcystis aeruginosa NIES‐88, are shown to be products of the cyanobactin biosynthetic pathway. The 9 kb kawaguchipeptin (kgp) gene cluster was identified in a 5.26 Mb draft genome of Microcystis aeruginosa NIES‐88. We verified that this gene cluster is responsible for the production of the kawaguchipeptins through heterologous expression of the kgp gene cluster in Escherichia coli. The KgpF prenyltransferase was overexpressed and was shown to prenylate C‐3 of Trp residues in both linear and cyclic peptides in vitro. Our findings serve to further enhance the structural diversity of cyanobactins to include tryptophan‐prenylated cyclic peptides. 相似文献

Pseurotins comprise a family of structurally related Aspergillal natural products having interesting bioactivity. However, little is known about the biosynthetic steps involved in the formation of their complex chemical features. Systematic deletion of the pseurotin biosynthetic genes in A. fumigatus and in vivo and in vitro characterization of the tailoring enzymes to determine the biosynthetic intermediates, and the gene products responsible for the formation of each intermediate, are described. Thus, the main biosynthetic steps leading to the formation of pseurotin A from the predominant precursor, azaspirene, were elucidated. The study revealed the combinatorial nature of the biosynthesis of the pseurotin family of compounds and the intermediates. Most interestingly, we report the first identification of an epoxidase C‐methyltransferase bifunctional fusion protein PsoF which appears to methylate the nascent polyketide backbone carbon atom in trans. 相似文献

Carquinostatin A (CQS), a potent neuroprotective substance, is a unique carbazole alkaloid with both an ortho‐quinone function and an isoprenoid moiety. We identified the entire gene cluster responsible for CQS biosynthesis in Streptomyces exfoliatus through heterologous production of CQS and gene deletion. Biochemical characterization of seven CQS biosynthetic gene products (CqsB1–7) established the total biosynthetic pathway of CQS. Reconstitution of CqsB1 and CqsB2 showed that the synthesis of the carbazole skeleton involves CqsB1‐catalyzed decarboxylative condensation of an α‐hydroxyl‐β‐keto acid intermediate with 3‐hydroxybutyryl‐ACP followed by CqsB2‐catalyzed oxidative cyclization. Based on crystal structures and mutagenesis‐based biochemical assays, a detailed mechanism for the unique deprotonation‐initiated cyclization catalyzed by CqsB2 is proposed. Finally, analysis of the substrate specificity of the biosynthetic enzymes led to the production of novel carbazoles. 相似文献

An epoxycyclohexenone (ECH) moiety occurs in natural products of both bacteria and ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi. While the enzymes for ECH formation in bacteria and ascomycetes have been identified and characterized, it remained obscure how this structure is biosynthesized in basidiomycetes. In this study, we i) identified a genetic locus responsible for panepoxydone biosynthesis in the basidiomycete mushroom Panus rudis and ii) biochemically characterized PanH, the cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzing epoxide formation in this pathway. Using a PanH-producing yeast as a biocatalyst, we synthesized a small library of bioactive ECH compounds as a proof of concept. Furthermore, homology modeling, molecular dynamics simulation, and site directed mutation revealed the substrate specificity of PanH. Remarkably, PanH is unrelated to ECH-forming enzymes in bacteria and ascomycetes, suggesting that mushrooms evolved this biosynthetic capacity convergently and independently of other organisms. 相似文献

Cyclic ether formation by dehydration of a cis-fused 5-acetyl-1,5-dihydroxyoctahydronaphthalene occurs with rearrangement to give a 12-oxatricyclo[5.4.11,7.O3,8]dodecene rather than the 11-oxatricyclo[4.4.11,6.O2,7]undecene system of the nargenicin antibiotics. 相似文献

Oxyvinylglycines are a family of nonproteinogenic amino acids featuring an essential vinyl ether conferring mechanism‐based inhibition of pyridoxal phosphate enzymes. The gene clusters for a few oxyvinylglycines are known, yet the biosynthetic origin of the vinyl ether is elusive. The in vitro biosynthesis of methoxyvinylglycine or l ‐2‐amino‐4‐methoxy‐trans‐3‐butenoic acid (AMB) is reported. It is shown that AMB is made from glutamate as an alanyl‐AMB dipeptide and the rationale is provided for the N‐term Ala. Using a chemical capture method, the order and timing of the modifications on non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)‐bound substrates was determined, including a cryptic hydroxylation of the Glu β‐carbon. Eliminating this hydroxy group likely generates a key α,β‐dehydroamino acid intermediate that facilitates decarboxylation. This work sheds light on vinyl ether biosynthesis and uncovers new NRPS chemistry. 相似文献

The biocontrol agent Lysobacter enzymogenes produces polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs), including the antifungal HSAF. To elucidate the biosynthesis of the cyclic systems, we identified eleven HSAF precursors/analogues with zero, one, two, or three rings through heterologous expression of the HSAF gene cluster. A series of combinatorial gene expression and deletion experiments showed that OX3 is the “gatekeeper” responsible for the formation of the first 5‐membered ring from lysobacterene A, OX1 and OX2 are responsible for formation of the second ring but with different selectivity, and OX4 is responsible for formation of the 6‐membered ring. In vitro experiments showed that OX4 is an NADPH‐dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reductive cyclization of 3‐dehydroxy alteramide C to form 3‐dehydroxy HSAF. Thus, the multiplicity of OX genes is the basis for the structural diversity of the HSAF family, which is the only characterized PoTeM cluster that involves four redox enzymes in the formation of the cyclic system. 相似文献

Despite the identification of a β‐hydroxyhexaene produced by the enediyne polyketide synthases (PKSs), the post‐PKS biosynthetic steps to the individual members of this antitumor and antibiotic family remain largely unknown. The massive biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that direct the formation of each product caution that many steps could be required. It was recently demonstrated that the enediyne PKS in the dynemicin A BGC from Micromonospora chersina gives rise to both the anthraquinone and enediyne halves of the molecule. We now present the first evidence for a mid‐pathway intermediate in dynemicin A biosynthesis, an iodoanthracene bearing a fused thiolactone, which was shown to be incorporated selectively into the final product. This unusual precursor reflects just how little is understood about these biosynthetic pathways, yet constrains the mechanisms that can act to achieve the key heterodimerization to the anthraquinone‐containing subclass of enediynes. 相似文献

Shimalactones A and B are neuritogenic polyketides possessing characteristic oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene ring systems that are produced by the marine fungus Emericella variecolor GF10. We identified a candidate biosynthetic gene cluster and conducted heterologous expression analysis. Expression of ShmA polyketide synthase in Aspergillus oryzae resulted in the production of preshimalactone. Aspergillus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae transformants expressing ShmA and ShmB produced shimalactones A and B, thus suggesting that the double bicyclo‐ring formation reactions proceed non‐enzymatically from preshimalactone epoxide. DFT calculations strongly support the idea that oxabicyclo‐ring formation and 8π‐6π electrocyclization proceed spontaneously after opening of the preshimalactone epoxide ring through protonation. We confirmed the formation of preshimalactone epoxide in vitro, followed by its non‐enzymatic conversion to shimalactones in the dark. 相似文献

Vioprolides are a promising class of anticancer and antifungal lead compounds produced by the myxobacterium Cystobacter violaceus Cb vi35. Previously nothing had been reported about their biosynthesis, including the origin of the unusual 4‐methylazetidinecarboxylic acid (MAZ) moiety. We describe the vioprolide biosynthetic gene cluster and solve the production obstacle by expression in three heterologous hosts. Starting from unstable production in the wild type at the single‐digit mg L?1 scale, we developed a stable host that eventually allowed for yields of up to half a gram per liter in fermenters. Gene inactivations coupled with isotope feeding studies identified an S‐adenosylmethionine (SAM)‐dependent enzyme and a methyltransferase as being responsible for the generation of the MAZ building block by a proposed mechanism unprecedented in bacteria. Furthermore, nonnatural vioprolide derivatives were generated via rational genetic engineering. 相似文献

The OH‐initiated photooxidation of di‐n‐propyl ether was investigated in this study. Di‐n‐propyl ether was mixed with nitric oxide and a hydroxyl radical precursor and irradiated using UV black lamps in a glass environmental chamber. Mass spectrometry was used as the primary analytical technique to monitor the reactants and products. FTIR spectroscopy was used to monitor formaldehyde. The products observed were propyl formate, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and propyl propionate, with molar yields relative to di‐n‐propyl ether concentration loss of 0.61 ± 0.044, 0.60 ± 0.057, 0.15 ± 0.062, and 0.043 ± 0.015, respectively. Errors represent ±2σ. Nitrates could not be quantified because of a lack of commercially available standards. However, evidence exists for nitrate formation from the photooxidation of di‐n‐propyl ether. Formaldehyde concentrations were negligible. Mechanism predictions were performed on the di‐n‐propyl ether/OH system using the Carter kinetic software. Propyl formate and acetaldehyde yields were reasonably predicted (under 11.7% error). However, propionaldehyde and propyl propionate yields were vastly underpredicted, and examination of the experimental data suggested secondary production of both propionaldehyde and propyl propionate. Reactions were proposed for the photolysis and OH‐initiated photooxidation of a primary nitrate product (1‐propoxy propyl nitrate) that resulted in the formation of propionaldehyde and propyl propionate. Basic semiempirical computational chemistry calculations at the UHF/PM3 level of theory were performed using Hyperchem® to investigate pathways for the secondary formation of propionaldehyde in particular. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A rare new cyclic tetrapeptide, 5,5′‐epoxy‐MKN‐349A ( 1 ), featured by a MKN‐349A ( 5 ) skeleton and containing an uncommon ether bridge between C(5) and C(5′), and a new steroid, named 11‐O‐acetyl‐NGA0187 ( 2 ), together with two known steroids, 3 and 4 , were isolated from an endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. GD6 associated with the Chinese mangrove Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses and by comparison with the data of related compounds reported in literature. Neither of the compounds 3 and 4 , isolated in this study, showed obvious bioactivities in the antibacterial bioassay experiments. 相似文献

Two Burkholderia gladioli strains isolated from the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients were found to produce unusual lipodepsipeptides containing a unique citrate-derived fatty acid and a rare dehydro-β-alanine residue. The gene cluster responsible for their biosynthesis was identified by bioinformatics and insertional mutagenesis. In-frame deletions and enzyme activity assays were used to investigate the functions of several proteins encoded by the biosynthetic gene cluster, which was found in the genomes of about 45 % of B. gladioli isolates, suggesting that its metabolic products play an important role in the growth and/or survival of the species. The Chrome Azurol S assay indicated that these metabolites bind ferric iron, which suppresses their production when added to the growth medium. Moreover, a gene encoding a TonB-dependent ferric-siderophore receptor is adjacent to the biosynthetic genes, suggesting that these metabolites may function as siderophores in B. gladioli. 相似文献

The molecular structures, biosynthetic pathways and physiological functions of membrane lipids produced by organisms in the domain Archaea are poorly characterized as compared with that of counterparts in Bacteria and Eukaryota. Here we report on the use of high‐resolution shotgun lipidomics to characterize, for the first time, the lipid complement of the archaeon Sulfolobus islandicus. To support the identification of lipids in S. islandicus, we first compiled a database of ether lipid species previously ascribed to Archaea. Next, we analyzed the lipid complement of S. islandicus by high‐resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry using an ion trap‐orbitrap mass spectrometer. This analysis identified five clusters of molecular ions that matched ether lipids in the database with sub‐ppm mass accuracy. To structurally characterize and validate the identities of the potential lipid species, we performed structural analysis using multistage activation on the ion trap‐orbitrap instrument as well as tandem mass analysis using a quadrupole time‐of‐flight machine. Our analysis identified four ether lipid species previously reported in Archaea, and one ether lipid species that had not been described before. This uncharacterized lipid species features two head group structures composed of a trisaccharide residue carrying an uncommon sulfono group (?SO3) and an inositol phosphate group. Both head groups are linked to a glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether core structure having isoprenoid chains with a total of 80 carbon atoms and 4 cyclopentane moieties. The shotgun lipidomics approach deployed here defines a novel workflow for exploratory lipid profiling of Archaea. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Synthetic routes to forty‐four dibenzocrown ether alcohols are reported. The new crown ether com pounds are based on a sym‐dibenzo‐16‐crown‐5 platform. Most have a hydroxy group and an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or perfluoroalkyl group on the central carbon of the three‐carbon bridge. Others have substituted benzene rings and either a hydroxy or ‐O(CH2)nOH group attached to the central carbon of the three‐carbon bridge. 相似文献

The gulmirecins constitute a new class of glycosylated macrolides that were isolated from the predatory bacterium Pyxidicoccus fallax HKI 727. Their structures were solved by a combination of NMR spectroscopic experiments and chemical derivatization. Analysis of the annotated gulmirecin gene cluster complemented the configurational assignment and provided insights into the stereochemical course of the biosynthetic assembly. The gulmirecins exhibit strong activity against staphylococci, including methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but no cytotoxic effects on human cells. 相似文献
