Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132539. [PMID: 38777023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The deep-sea fungus Phomopsis lithocarpus FS508 produces tenellone-macrolide conjugated hetero-dimer lithocarpins A-G with anti-tumor activities. The deficiency of new intermolecular Diels-Alder (DA) enzymes hindered the development of new bioactive hetero-dimers. A novel single-function intermolecular DA enzyme, g7882, was initially discovered in this study. The deletion of g7882 led to the disappearance of lithocarpin A and an increase in precursor level . the overexpression of g7882 significantly improved lithocarpin A yield. The in vitro function of g7882DA was also confirmed by biochemical reaction using tenellone B as a substrate. Additionally, the knockout of KS modules of PKS in cluster 41 and cluster 81 (lit cluster) eliminated the production of lithocarpins, which firstly explains the biosynthetic process of hetero-dimer lithocarpins mediated by DA enzyme in FS508. Furthermore, the removal of a novel acetyltransferase GPAT in cluster 41 and the oxidoreductase, prenyltransferase in cluster81 resulted in the reduction of lithocarpin A in P. lithocarpus. The overexpression of gpat in P. lithocarpus FS508 improved the yield of lithocarpin A significantly and produced a new tenellone derivative lithocarol G. This study offers a new DA enzyme tool for the biosynthesis of novel hetero-dimer and biochemical clues for the biosynthetic logic elucidation of lithocarpins.

[PMID: 37504769 PMCID: PMC10381184 DOI: 10.3390/jof9070781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Four unprecedented polyketides named isoprenylisobenzofuran B (2), isoprenylisobenzofuran C1/C2 (3), diaporisoindole F1/F2 (4), and isochromophilonol A1/A2 (7) were isolated from ethyl acetate extracts of the newly described endophytic fungus Diaporthe africana. Additionally, the previously reported cyclic depsipeptide eucalactam B (1) was also identified, along with the known compounds diaporisoindole A/B (5), tenellone B (6) and beauvericin (8). The taxonomic identification of the fungus was accomplished using a polyphasic approach combining multi-gene phylogenetic analysis and microscopic morphological characters. The structures 1-8 were determined by a detailed analysis of their spectral data, namely high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESIMS), 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, as well as electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. In addition, chemical methods such as Marfey's analysis were also employed to determine the stereochemistry in compound 1. All the compounds obtained were evaluated for antimicrobial and in vitro cytotoxic properties. Compounds 3-8 were active against certain fungi and Gram-positive bacteria with MIC values of 8.3 to 66.6 µg/mL. In addition, 3-5 displayed cytotoxic effects (22.0 ≤ IC50 ≤ 59.2 µM) against KB3.1 and L929 cell lines, whereas compounds 6-8 inhibited the growth of seven mammalian cancer cell lines with IC50 ranging from 17.7 to 49.5 µM (6), 0.9 to 12.9 µM (7) and 1.9 to 4.3 µM (8).

[PMID: 35323488 PMCID: PMC8955712 DOI: 10.3390/md20030189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) was applied for the analysis of the metabolic profile of acarviostatin-containing aminooligosaccharides derived from Streptomyces sp. HO1518. A total of ninety-eight aminooligosaccharides, including eighty potential new compounds, were detected mainly based on the characteristic fragment ions originating from quinovosidic bond cleavages in their molecules. Following an LC-MS-guided separation technique, seven new aminooligosaccharides (10–16) along with four known related compounds (17–20) were obtained directly from the crude extract of strain HO1518. Compounds 10–13 represent the first examples of aminooligosaccharides with a rare acarviostatin II02-type structure. In addition, all isolates displayed considerable inhibitory effects on three digestive enzymes, which revealed that the number of the pseudo-trisaccharide core(s), the feasible length of the oligosaccharides, and acyl side chain exerted a crucial influence on their bioactivities. These results demonstrated that the UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS-based metabolomics approach could be applied for the rapid identification of aminooligosaccharides and other similar structures in complex samples. Furthermore, this study highlights the potential of acylated aminooligosaccharides with conspicuous α-glucosidase and lipase inhibition for the future development of multi-target anti-diabetic drugs.
