Abstract
The antibacterial agents deoxynybomycin (DNM) and nybomycin (NM) have a unique tetracyclic structure featuring an angularly fused 4-oxazoline ring. Here, we report the identification of key enzymes responsible for forming the 4-oxazoline ring in Embleya hyalina NBRC 13850 by comparative bioinformatics analysis of the biosynthetic gene clusters encoding structurally similar natural products DNM, deoxynyboquinone (DNQ), and diazaquinomycins (DAQs). The N-methyltransferase DnmS plays a crucial role in catalyzing the N-dimethylation of a tricyclic precursor prenybomycin to generate NM D; subsequently, the Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (Fe/αKGD) DnmT catalyzes the formation of a 4-oxazoline ring from NM D to produce DNM; finally, a second Fe/αKGD DnmU catalyzes the C-12 hydroxylation of DNM to yield NM. Strikingly, DnmT is shown to display unexpected functions to also catalyze the decomposition of the 4-oxazoline ring and the N-demethylation, thereby converting DNM back to prenybomycin, to putatively serve as a manner to control the intracellular yield of DNM. Structure modeling, site-directed mutagenesis, and quantum mechanics calculations provide mechanistic insights into the DnmT-catalyzed reactions. This work expands our understanding of the functional diversity of Fe/αKGDs in natural product biosynthesis.

Abstract
Benzoxazoles are important structural motifs in pharmaceutical drugs. Here, we present the heterologous production of 3-hydroxyanthranilate-derived benzoxazoles in the host bacterium Myxococcus xanthus following the expression of two genes from the nataxazole biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176. The M. xanthus expression strain achieved a benzoxazole titer of 114.6±7.4 mg L-1 upon precursor supplementation, which is superior to other bacterial production systems. Crosstalk between the heterologously expressed benzoxazole pathway and the endogenous myxochelin pathway led to the combinatorial biosynthesis of benzoxazoles featuring a 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) building block. Subsequent in vitro studies confirmed that this crosstalk is not only due to the availability of 2,3-DHBA in M. xanthus, rather, it is promoted by the adenylating enzyme MxcE from the myxochelin pathway, which contributes to the activation of aryl carboxylic acids and delivers them to benzoxazole biosynthesis.

Abstract
A series of metal-free tandem reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceutically important 2-substituted benzoazoles from isothiocyanates and 2-aminothiophenol under catalyst-free conditions in the presence of Et-PMO-Me-PrSO3H (1a) and SBA-15-PrSO3H (1b) as solid acids were carried out in a highly selective way under solvent free conditions. A significant selectivity changeover toward either 2-mercaptobenzoxazole or 2-aminobenzoazole derivatives could be achieved by changing the employed catalyst from the relatively hydrophobic material 1a to the more hydrophilic catalyst 1b. This simple experimental procedure with a novel selective approach toward benzoazoles accompanied by green and reusable catalysts could be considered as an alternative to the existing methods for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzoazole derivatives.

Abstract
Benzoxazole alkaloids exhibit a diverse array of structures and interesting biological activities. Herein we report the identification of a benzoxazole alkaloid-encoding biosynthetic gene cluster (mich BGC) in the marine-derived actinomycete Micromonospora sp. SCSIO 07395 and the heterologous expression of this BGC in Streptomyces albus. This approach led to the discovery of five new benzoxazole alkaloids microechmycin A-E (1-5), and a previously synthesized compound 6. Their structures were elucidated by HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data. Microechmycin A (1) showed moderate antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus SCSIO ML01 with the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 8 μg mL-1.

Abstract
Benzoxazolinate is a rare bis-heterocyclic moiety that interacts with proteins and DNA and confers extraordinary bioactivities on natural products, such as C-1027. However, the biosynthetic gene responsible for the key cyclization step of benzoxazolinate remains unclear. Herein, we show a putative acyl AMP-ligase responsible for the last cyclization step. We used the enzyme as a probe for genome mining and discovered that the orphan benzobactin gene cluster in entomopathogenic bacteria prevails across Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. It turns out that Pseudomonas chlororaphis produces various benzobactins, whose biosynthesis is highlighted by a synergistic effect of two unclustered genes encoding enzymes on boosting benzobactin production; the formation of non-proteinogenic 2-hydroxymethylserine by a serine hydroxymethyltransferase; and the types I and II NRPS architecture for structural diversity. Our findings reveal the biosynthetic potential of a widespread benzobactin gene cluster.

Abstract
2-(Halophenyl)benzoxazole-5-carboxylic acids with mono-halogen (chloro, bromo and fluoro) substituted at ortho-, meta- and para-positions on the phenyl ring were designed and synthesized based on significance of presence of halogen in increasing number of marketed halogenated drugs and importance of benzoxazoles. These 2-alogenatedphenylbenzoxazole-5-carboxylic acids and their methyl esters were screened for anti-inflammatory activity, and cytotoxicity. 2-(3-Chlorophenyl)benzoxaole-5-carboxylic acid ( 6b ) exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity with IC 50 values of 0.103 µmol/mL almost equivalent to the standard drug ibuprofen (0.101 µmol/mL). 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)benzoxaole-5-carboxylic acid ( 6c ) showed excellent cytotoxic activity against 22Rv1 cells (human prostate carcinoma epithelial cell line) with IC 50 value of 1.54 μM better than that of standard drug doxorubicin having IC 50 value of 2.32 μM. More importantly, the selectivity index of this potential molecule was found to be 57.74. Molecular docking analysis resulted in good binding interactions of these compounds with their respective biochemical targets viz. Cyclooxygenase-2 and aldo-keto reductase IC3.

Abstract
Benzoxazole scaffolds feature prominently in diverse synthetic and natural product‐derived pharmaceuticals. Our understanding of their bacterial biosynthesis is, however, limited to ortho‐substituted heterocycles from actinomycetes. We report an overlooked biosynthetic pathway in anaerobic bacteria (typified in Clostridium cavendishii) that expands the benzoxazole chemical space to meta‐substituted heterocycles and heralds a distribution beyond Actinobacteria. The first benzoxazoles from the anaerobic realm (closoxazole A and B) were elucidated by NMR and chemical synthesis. By genome editing in the native producer, heterologous expression in Escherichia coli, and systematic pathway dissection we show that closoxazole biosynthesis invokes an unprecedented precursor usage (3‐amino‐4‐hydroxybenzoate) and manner of assembly. Synthetic utility was demonstrated by the precursor‐directed biosynthesis of a tafamidis analogue. A bioinformatic survey reveals the pervasiveness of related gene clusters in diverse bacterial phyla.

Abstract
A dimerization/cyclization reaction of 2-benzylamino-phenols for the direct synthesis of the oxazolo-phenoxazine skeleton is reported. The reaction occurs under copper catalysis in the presence of hypervalent iodine(III), giving selectively the 5H-oxazolo[4,5-b]phenoxazine compounds. The cascade process, which allows the conversion of the substrates into the tetracyclic products, involves three C-H functionalization steps. Initial oxidation of electron-rich arenes by the hypervalent iodine is essential for the dimerization of substrates, whereas the formation of the five-membered rings is promoted by the copper species. 1-Benzyl-2-phenyl-6-(aryl-benzyl)amino-benzimidazoles are regioselectively obtained using N,N'-dibenzyl-phenylenediamines as starting substrates. The fluorescence emission properties of these classes of products have been evaluated.

A Structural Perspective of Reps from CRESS-DNA Viruses and Their Bacterial Plasmid Homologues. Viruses 2021; 14:v14010037.

Abstract
Rolling circle replication (RCR) is ubiquitously used by cellular and viral systems for genome and plasmid replication. While the molecular mechanism of RCR has been described, the structural mechanism is desperately lacking. Circular-rep encoded single stranded DNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses employ a viral encoded replicase (Rep) to initiate RCR. The recently identified prokaryotic homologues of Reps may also be responsible for initiating RCR. Reps are composed of an endonuclease, oligomerization, and ATPase domain. Recent structural studies have provided structures for all these domains such that an overall mechanism of RCR initiation can begin to be synthesized. However, structures of Rep in complex with its various DNA substrates and/or ligands are lacking. Here we provide a 3D bioinformatic review of the current structural information available for Reps. We combine an excess of 1590 sequences with experimental and predicted structural data from 22 CRESS-DNA groups to identify similarities and differences between Reps that lead to potentially important functional sites. Experimental studies of these sites may shed light on how Reps execute their functions. Furthermore, we identify Rep-substrate or Rep-ligand structures that are urgently needed to better understand the structural mechanism of RCR.

Abstract
Benzoxazoles are frequently found in synthetic pharmaceuticals and medicinally active natural products. To facilitate benzoxazole-based drug development, an eco-friendly and rapid platform for benzoxazole production is required. In this study, we have completed the biosynthesis of benzoxazoles in E. coli by coexpressing the minimal set of enzymes required for their biosynthesis. Moreover, by coupling this E. coli-based platform with precursor-directed biosynthesis, we have shown that the benzoxazole biosynthetic system is highly promiscuous in incorporating fluorine, chlorine, nitrile, picolinic, and alkyne functionalities into the scaffold. Our E. coli-based system thus paves the way for straightforward generation of novel benzoxazole analogues through future protein engineering and combinatorial biosynthesis.

Abstract
Aryl coenzyme A (CoA) ligases belong to class I of the adenylate-forming enzyme superfamily (ANL superfamily). They catalyze the formation of thioester bonds between aromatic compounds and CoA and occur in nearly all forms of life. These ligases are involved in various metabolic pathways degrading benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). They are often necessary to produce the central intermediate benzoyl-CoA that occurs in various anaerobic pathways. The substrate specificity is very diverse between enzymes within the same class, while the dependency on Mg2+, ATP, and CoA as well as oxygen insensitivity are characteristics shared by the whole enzyme class. Some organisms employ the same aryl-CoA ligase when growing aerobically and anaerobically, while others induce different enzymes depending on the environmental conditions. Aryl-CoA ligases can be divided into two major groups, benzoate:CoA ligase-like enzymes and phenylacetate:CoA ligase-like enzymes. They are widely distributed between the phylogenetic clades of the ANL superfamily and show closer relationships within the subfamilies than to other aryl-CoA ligases. This, together with residual CoA ligase activity in various other enzymes of the ANL superfamily, leads to the conclusion that CoA ligases might be the ancestral proteins from which all other ANL superfamily enzymes developed.

Abstract
Heterocycles are important building blocks in pharmaceutical drugs and their enzymatic synthesis is attracting increasing interest. In recent years, various enzymes of the amidohydrolase superfamily were reported to catalyze heterocycle-forming condensation reactions. One of these enzymes, MxcM, is biochemically and kinetically characterized in this study. MxcM generates an imidazoline moiety in the biosynthesis of the natural product pseudochelin A, which features potent anti-inflammatory properties. The enzyme shows maximal activity at 50 °C and pH 10 as well as a kcat/Km value of 22,932 s−1 M−1 at its temperature optimum. Experimental data suggest that the activity of MxcM does not depend on a catalytic metal ion, which is uncommon among amidohydrolases. MxcM is highly active in diverse organic solvents and concentrated salt solutions. Furthermore, we show that MxcM is also capable to introduce imidazoline rings into derivatives of its natural substrate myxochelin B. Overall, MxcM is a solvent-stable, halotolerant enzyme with promising biochemical and kinetic properties and, in future, might become a valuable biocatalyst for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement of 1 JCC coupling by two-dimensional (2D) INADEQUATE (incredible natural abundance double quantum transfer experiment), which is a special case of double-quantum (DQ) spectroscopy that offers unambiguous determination of 13 C-13 C spin-spin connectivities through the DQ transitions of the spin system, is especially suited to solving structures rich in quaternary carbons and poor in hydrogen content (Crews rule). OBJECTIVE To review published literature on the application of NMR methods to determine structure in the liquid-state, which specifically considers the interaction of a pair of carbon-13 (13 C) nuclei adjacent to one another, to allow direct tracing out of contiguous carbon connectivity using 2D INADEQUATE. METHODOLOGY A comprehensive literature search was implemented with various databases: Web of Knowledge, PubMed and SciFinder, and other relevant published materials including published monographs. The keywords used, in various combinations, with INADEQUATE being present in all combinations, in the search were 2D NMR, 1 JCC coupling, natural product, structure elucidation, 13 C-13 C connectivity, cryoprobe and CASE (computer-assisted structure elucidation)/PANACEA (protons and nitrogen and carbon et alia). RESULTS The 2D INADEQUATE continues to solve "intractable" problems in natural product chemistry, and using milligram quantities with cryoprobe techniques combined with CASE/PANACEA experiments can increase machine time efficiency. The 13 C-13 C-based structural elucidation by dissolution single-scan dynamic nuclear polarisation NMR can overcome disadvantages of 13 C insensitivity at natural abundance. Selected examples have demonstrated the trajectory of INADEQUATE spectroscopy from structural determination to clarification of metabolomics analysis and use of DFT (density functional theory) and coupling constants to clarify the connectivity, hybridisation and stereochemistry within natural products. CONCLUSIONS Somewhat neglected over the years because of perceived lack of sensitivity, the 2D INADEQUATE NMR technique has re-emerged as a useful tool for solving natural products structures, which are rich in quaternary carbons and poor in hydrogen content.

Abstract
Adenylate-forming enzymes (AFEs) are a mechanistic superfamily of proteins that are involved in many cellular roles. In the biosynthesis of benzoxazole antibiotics, an AFE has been reported to play a key role in the condensation of cyclic molecules. In the biosynthetic gene cluster for the benzoxazole AJI9561, AjiA1 catalyzes the condensation of two 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA) molecules using ATP as a co-substrate. Here, the enzymatic activity of AjiA1 is reported together with a structural analysis of its apo form. The structure of AjiA1 was solved at 2.0 Å resolution and shows a conserved fold with other AFE family members. AjiA1 exhibits activity in the presence of 3-HAA (K
m = 77.86 ± 28.36, k
cat = 0.04 ± 0.004) and also with the alternative substrate 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-HBA; K
m = 22.12 ± 31.35, k
cat = 0.08 ± 0.005). The structure of AjiA1 in the apo form also reveals crucial conformational changes that occur during the catalytic cycle of this enzyme which have not been described for any other AFE member. Consequently, the results shown here provide insights into this protein family and a new subgroup is proposed for enzymes that are involved in benzoxazole-ring formation.

Abstract
Heterocycles, a class of molecules that includes oxazoles, constitute one of the most common building blocks in current pharmaceuticals and are common in medicinally important natural products. The antitumor natural product nataxazole is a model for a large class of benzoxazole‐containing molecules that are made by a pathway that is not characterized. We report structural, biochemical, and chemical evidence that benzoxazole biosynthesis proceeds through an ester generated by an ATP‐dependent adenylating enzyme. The ester rearranges via a tetrahedral hemiorthoamide to yield an amide, which is a shunt product and not, as previously thought, an intermediate in the pathway. A second zinc‐dependent enzyme catalyzes the formation of hemiorthoamide from the ester but, by shuttling protons, the enzyme eliminates water, a reverse hydrolysis reaction, to yield the benzoxazole and avoids the amide. These insights have allowed us to harness the pathway to synthesize a series of novel halogenated benzoxazoles.
