Abstract
Six new ravidomycin analogs (1-4, 6, and 7) were isolated from Streptomyces sp. Am59 using UV- and LCMS-guided separation based on Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking analysis. Furthermore, we isolated fucomycin V (9), which possesses the same chromophore as ravidomycin but features a d-fucopyranose instead of d-ravidosamine. This is the first report of 9 as a natural product. Four new analogs (10-13) of 9 were also isolated. The structures were elucidated by combined spectroscopic and computational methods. We also found an inconsistency with the published [α]D25 of deacetylravidomycin, which is reported to have a (-) sign. Instead, we observed a (+) specific rotation for the reported absolute configuration of deacetylravidomycin (containing d-ravidosamine). We confirmed the positive sign by reisolating deacetylravidomycin from S. ravidus and by deacetylating ravidomycin. Finally, antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxicity activities were determined for the compounds. Compared to deacetylravidomycin, the compounds 4-6, 9, 11, and 12 exhibited greater antibacterial selectivity.

Abstract
Tetracenomycins and elloramycins are polyketide natural products produced by several actinomycetes that exhibit antibacterial and anticancer activities. They inhibit ribosomal translation by binding in the polypeptide exit channel of the large ribosomal subunit. The tetracenomycins and elloramycins are typified by a shared oxidatively modified linear decaketide core, yet they are distinguished by the extent of O-methylation and the presence of a 2',3',4'-tri-O-methyl-α-l-rhamnose appended at the 8-position of elloramycin. The transfer of the TDP-l-rhamnose donor to the 8-demethyl-tetracenomycin C aglycone acceptor is catalyzed by the promiscuous glycosyltransferase ElmGT. ElmGT exhibits remarkable flexibility toward transfer of many TDP-deoxysugar substrates to 8-demethyltetracenomycin C, including TDP-2,6-dideoxysugars, TDP-2,3,6-trideoxysugars, and methyl-branched deoxysugars in both d- and l-configurations. Previously, we developed an improved host, Streptomyces coelicolor M1146::cos16F4iE, which is a stable integrant harboring the required genes for 8-demethyltetracenomycin C biosynthesis and expression of ElmGT. In this work, we developed BioBricks gene cassettes for the metabolic engineering of deoxysugar biosynthesis in Streptomyces spp. As a proof of concept, we used the BioBricks expression platform to engineer biosynthesis for d-configured TDP-deoxysugars, including known compounds 8-O-d-glucosyl-tetracenomycin C, 8-O-d-olivosyl-tetracenomycin C, 8-O-d-mycarosyl-tetracenomycin C, and 8-O-d-digitoxosyl-tetracenomycin C. In addition, we generated four new tetracenomycins including one modified with a ketosugar, 8-O-4'-keto-d-digitoxosyl-tetracenomycin C, and three modified with 6-deoxysugars, including 8-O-d-fucosyl-tetracenomycin C, 8-O-d-allosyl-tetracenomycin C, and 8-O-d-quinovosyl-tetracenomycin C. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of BioBricks cloning, with the ability to recycle intermediate constructs, for the rapid assembly of diverse carbohydrate pathways and glycodiversification of a variety of natural products.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are prolific sources of bioactive molecules. Traditional workflows including bacterial isolation, fermentation, metabolite identification and structure elucidation have resulted in high rates of natural product rediscovery in recent years. Recent advancements in multi-omics techniques have uncovered cryptic gene clusters within the genomes of actinomycetes, potentially introducing vast resources for the investigation of bioactive molecules. While developments in culture techniques have allowed for the fermentation of difficult-to-culture actinomycetes, high-throughput metabolite screening has offered plenary tools to accelerate hits discovery. A variety of new bioactive molecules have been isolated from actinomycetes of unique environmental origins, such as endophytic and symbiotic actinomycetes. Synthetic biology and genome mining have also emerged as new frontiers for the discovery of bioactive molecules. This review covers the highlights of recent developments in actinomycete-derived natural product drug discovery.

Abstract
Angucyclines and angucyclinones are aromatic polyketides with intriguing structures and therapeutic value. Genome mining of the rare marine actinomycete Saccharothrix sp. D09 led to the identification of a type II polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster, sxn, which encodes several distinct subclasses of oxidoreductases, implying that this strain has the potential to produce novel polycyclic aromatic polyketides with unusual redox modifications. The "one strain-many compounds" (OSMAC) strategy and comparative metabolite analysis facilitated the discovery of 20 angucycline derivatives from the D09 strain, including six new highly oxygenated saccharothrixins D-I (1-6), four new glycosylated saccharothrixins J-M (7-10), and 10 known analogues (11-20). Their structures were elucidated based on detailed HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopic, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. With the help of gene disruption and heterologous expression, we proposed their plausible biosynthetic pathways. In addition, compounds 3, 4, and 8 showed antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori with MIC values ranging from 16 to 32 μg/mL. Compound 3 also revealed anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of NO with an IC50 value of 28 μM.

Abstract
Angucycline antibiotics are composed of a classical four-ring angularly linked polyaromatic backbone. Differential cyclization chemistry of the A- and B-rings in jadomycin biosynthesis led to the discovery of two new furan analogues, while oxidation led to a ring-opened form of the jadomycin Nε-trifluoroacetyl-l-lysine (TFAL) congener. The compounds were isolated from Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 cultures grown with TFAL. Biosynthetic incorporation using d-[1-13C]-glucose in cultures enabled the unambiguous assignment of the aldehyde, alcohol, and amide functionalities present in these new congeners through NMR spectroscopy. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis of cultures grown with 15Nα- or 15Nε-lysine demonstrated the incorporation of Nα exclusively into the angucycline backbone, contrasting results with ornithine [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 3271]. Compounds were evaluated against antimicrobial and cancer cell panels and found to possess good activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) in yeast is a rapid and inexpensive method for cloning and assembly of large DNA fragments, which relies on natural homologous recombination. Two vectors, based on p15a and F-factor replicons that can be maintained in yeast, E. coli and streptomycetes have been constructed. These vectors have been successfully employed for assembly of the grecocycline biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. Acta 1362. Fragments of the cluster were obtained by PCR and transformed together with the “capture” vector into the yeast cells, yielding a construct carrying the entire gene cluster. The obtained construct was heterologously expressed in S. albus J1074, yielding several grecocycline congeners. Grecocyclines have unique structural moieties such as a dissacharide side chain, an additional amino sugar at the C-5 position and a thiol group. Enzymes from this pathway may be used for the derivatization of known active angucyclines in order to improve their desired biological properties.

Abstract
Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 was grown in the presence of phenylalanine analogues to observe whether they could be incorporated into novel jadomycin structures. It was found that the bacteria successfully produced jadomycins incorporating 4-aminophenylalanine enantiomers. Upon isolation and characterization of jadomycin 4-amino-l-phenylalanine (1), it was synthetically derivatized, using activated succinimidyl esters, to yield a small jadomycin amide library. These are the first examples of oxazolone-ring-containing jadomycins that have incorporated an amino functionality subsequently used for derivatization.

Abstract
Polycarcin V, a polyketide natural product of Streptomyces polyformus, was chosen to study structure-activity relationships of the gilvocarcin group of antitumor antibiotics due to a similar chemical structure and comparable bioactivity with gilvocarcin V, the principle compound of this group, and the feasibility of enzymatic modifications of its sugar moiety by auxiliary O-methyltransferases. Such enzymes were used to modify the interaction of the drug with histone H3, the biological target that interacts with the sugar moiety. Cytotoxicity assays revealed that a free 2'-OH group of the sugar moiety is essential to maintain the bioactivity of polycarcin V, apparently an important hydrogen bond donor for the interaction with histone H3, and converting 3'-OH into an OCH3 group improved the bioactivity. Bis-methylated polycarcin derivatives revealed weaker activity than the parent compound, indicating that at least two hydrogen bond donors in the sugar are necessary for optimal binding.

Abstract
Kosinostatin (KST), an antitumor antibiotic, features a pyrrolopyrrole moiety spirally jointed to a five-membered ring of an anthraquinone framework glycosylated with a γ-branched octose. By a combination of in silico analysis, genetic characterization, biochemical assay, and precursor feeding experiments, a biosynthetic pathway for KST was proposed, which revealed (1) the pyrrolopyrrole moiety originates from nicotinic acid and ribose, (2) the bicyclic amidine is constructed by a process similar to the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway, and (3) a discrete adenylation enzyme and a peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) are responsible for producing a PCP-tethered building block parallel to type II polyketide synthase (PKS) rather than for the PKS priming step by providing the starter unit. These findings provide an opportunity to further explore the inexplicable enzymatic logic that governs the formation of pyrrolopyrrole moiety and the spirocyclic skeleton.

Abstract
Flavin-dependent monooxygenases catalyze a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxygenation reactions. As such, they are involved in key biological processes ranging from catabolism, detoxification and biosynthesis, to light emission and axon guidance. Based on fold and function, flavin-dependent monooxygenases can be distributed into eight groups. Groups A and B comprise enzymes that rely on NAD(P)H as external electron donor. Groups C-F are two-protein systems, composed of a monooxygenase and a flavin reductase. Groups G and H comprise internal monooxygenases that reduce the flavin cofactor through substrate oxidation. Recently, many new flavin-dependent monooxygenases have been discovered. In addition to posing basic enzymological questions, these proteins attract attention of pharmaceutical and fine-chemical industries, given their importance as regio- and enantioselective biocatalysts. In this review we present an update of the classification of flavin-dependent monooxygenases and summarize the latest advances in our understanding of their catalytic and structural properties.

Abstract
GilOII has been unambiguously identified as the key enzyme performing the crucial C-C bond cleavage reaction responsible for the unique rearrangement of a benz[a]anthracene skeleton to the benzo[d]naphthopyranone backbone typical of the gilvocarcin-type natural anticancer antibiotics. Further investigations of this enzyme led to the isolation of a hydroxyoxepinone intermediate, leading to important conclusions regarding the cleavage mechanism.
