[PMID: 37820823 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2023.110724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Streptococcus thermophilus FUA329, a urolithin A-producing bacterium, is isolated from human breast milk. The complete genome sequence of FUA329 did not contain any plasmids and at least 20 proteins were related to extreme environment resistance. Phenotypic assay results demonstrated that FUA329 was susceptible to 12 kinds of antibiotics and did not exhibit any hemolytic or nitrate reductase activity. Three free radical scavenging assays revealed that FUA329 have high antioxidant capability. FUA329 exhibited a cell surface hydrophobicity of 52.58 ± 1.17% and an auto-aggregation rate of 18.69 ± 2.48%. Moreover, FUA329 demonstrated a survival rate of over 60% in strong acid and bile salt environments, indicating that FUA329 may be stable colonization in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, we firstly found 3 potential proteins and 11 potential genes of transforming ellagic acid to urolithins in FUA329 genome. The above results indicate that FUA329 has credible safety and probiotic properties, as well as the potential to be developed as a new generation of urolithin A-producing probiotics.

Abstract
Nosiheptide is a bicyclic thiopeptide featuring an indole-containing side ring, which is biologically important in maintaining its potent antibacterial activity. By using mutational biosynthesis, the pharmaceutically significant benzothiophene was introduced into the nosiheptide biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the generation of three bioactive nosiheptide analogues with characteristic benzothiophene-containing side rings. Insights were provided into the transformation relationship of these analogues, which effectively improves the yield of S-NOS-1 with favorable activity against Gram-positive pathogens.

Abstract
![]()
Radical S-adenosylmethionine (RaS) enzymes have
quickly advanced to one of the most abundant and versatile enzyme
superfamilies known. Their chemistry is predicated upon reductive
homolytic cleavage of a carbon–sulfur bond in cofactor S-adenosylmethionine forming an oxidizing carbon-based radical,
which can initiate myriad radical transformations. An emerging role
for RaS enzymes is their involvement in the biosynthesis of ribosomally
synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a
natural product family that has become known as RaS-RiPPs. These metabolites
are especially prevalent in human and mammalian microbiomes because
the complex chemistry of RaS enzymes gives rise to correspondingly
complex natural products with minimal cellular energy and genomic
fingerprint, a feature that is advantageous in microbes with small,
host-adapted genomes in competitive environments. Herein, we review
the discovery and characterization of RaS-RiPPs from the human microbiome
with a focus on streptococcal bacteria. We discuss the varied chemical
modifications that RaS enzymes introduce onto their peptide substrates
and the diverse natural products that they give rise to. The majority
of RaS-RiPPs remain to be discovered, providing an intriguing avenue
for future investigations at the intersection of metalloenzymology,
chemical ecology, and the human microbiome.

Abstract
Because only very weak signals of fragment ions of nosiheptide can be obtained, nosiheptide is usually detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) via the determination of its hydrolyzed degradation product named HMIA in previous studies. The indirect method suffers from several problems, such as complicated samplepreparation, unavailable commercial HMIA, and the risk of the false-positive result by HMIA. However, we found that nosiheptide could produce several significant fragment ions under high collision energy (CE). Therefore, we developed a method for the direct determination of nosiheptide by LC-MS/MS in animal tissues. The sample was extracted with ACN, then degreased with n-hexane, and purified by an HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. After being filtered through the PTFE filter, it was analyzed by LC-MS/MS in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The influencing factors, such as mobile phase, SPE cartridge, filter material, and matrix effect, were investigated. Nosiheptide showed a good linear relationship (R2 ≥ 0.999) within the concentration range from 0.3 μg/L to 20 μg/L under optimized conditions. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.3 μg/kg, while the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1.0 μg/kg in chicken, bovine muscle, swine muscle, and swine liver. The average recoveries at spiked levels of 1.0, 2.0, and 10 μg/kg ranged from 83% to 101%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) <12%. Compared with the methods previously reported, our newly developed method was more simple, convenient, and sensitive. Moreover, it was successfully applied for the determination of nosiheptide residue in medicated chicken samples.

Abstract
Nosiheptide (NOS), a potent bactericidal thiopeptide, belongs to a class of natural products produced by ribosomal synthesis and post-translational modifications, and its biosynthetic pathway has largely been elucidated. However, the central trithiazolylpyridine structure of NOS remains inaccessible to structural changes. Here we report the creation of a NOS analogue containing a unique selenazole ring by the construction of an artificial system in Streptomyces actuosus ATCC25421, where the genes responsible for the biosynthesis of selenoprotein from Escherichia coli and the biosynthetic gene cluster of NOS were rationally integrated to produce a selenazole-containing analogue of NOS. The thiazole at the fifth position in NOS was specifically replaced by a selenazole to afford the first selenazole-containing "unnatural" natural product. The present strategy is useful for structural manipulation of various RiPP natural products.

Abstract
Thiopeptide antibiotics are a family of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptide natural products of significant interest in anti-infective agent development. These antibiotics are classified into five subfamilies according to differences in the central 6-membered heterocycle of the thiopeptide framework. The mechanism through which imidazopiperidine, the most heavily functionalized central domain characteristic of a series c thiopeptide, is formed remains unclear. Based on mining and characterization of the genes specifically involved in the biosynthesis of Sch40832, we here report an enzymatic process for transforming a series b thiopeptide into a series c product through a series a intermediate. This process starts with F420-dependent hydrogenation of the central dehydropiperidine unit to a saturated piperidine unit. With the activity of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, the piperidine-thiazole motif of the intermediate undergoes an unusual oxygenation-mediated rearrangement to provide an imidazopiperidine heterocycle subjected to further S-methylation and aldehyde reduction. This study represents the first biochemical reconstitution of the pathway forming a stable series c thiopeptide.

Abstract
The interest in indole dearomatization, which serves as a useful tool in the total synthesis of related alkaloid natural products, has recently been renewed with the intention of developing new methods efficient in both yield and stereoselective control. Here, we report an enzymatic approach for the oxidative dearomatization of indoles in the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of furoindolines with a vicinal quaternary carbon stereogenic center. This approach depends on the activity of a flavin-dependent monooxygenase, TsrE, which is involved in the biosynthesis of bicyclic thiopeptide antibiotic thiostrepton. TsrE catalyzes 2,3-epoxidation and subsequent epoxide opening in a highly enantioselective manner during the conversion of 2-methyl-indole-3-acetic acid or 2-methyl-tryptophol to furoindoline, with up to >99 % conversion and >99 % ee under mild reaction conditions. Complementing current chemical methods for oxidative indole dearomatization, the TsrE activity-based approach enriches the toolbox in the asymmetric synthesis of products possessing a furoindoline skeleton.

Abstract
Linear azole-containing peptides are a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides. We performed a chemical investigation on marine actinomycetes, and new linear azole-containing peptides named spongiicolazolicins A and B were found in the MeOH extracts of a newly isolated strain Streptomyces sp. CWH03 (NBRC 114659) and two strains of S. spongiicola (strain HNM0071T: DSM 103383T and strain 531S: NBRC 113560). The strain Streptomyces sp. CWH03 was indicated to be a new species closely related to S. spongiicola by phylogenetic analysis using the genome sequence. The new peptides named spongiicolazolicins A and B were isolated from the cell of Streptomyces sp. CWH03. The partial structure of spongiicolazolicin A was determined by 2D NMR experiments. Based on data of MS/MS experiments, the chemical structures of spongiicolazolicins A and B were proposed using the amino acid sequence deduced from the precursor-encoding gene, which was found from whole-genome sequence data of Streptomyces sp. CWH03. The biosynthetic gene cluster of spongiicolazolicins was proposed based on comparative analysis with that of a known linear azole peptide goadsporin. KEY POINTS: • Streptomyces sp. CWH03 was a new species isolated from marine sediment. • New linear azole-containing peptides named spongiicolazolicins A and B were isolated. • Biosynthetic pathway of spongiicolazolicins was proposed.

Abstract
Thiopeptide antibiotics are a class of typical ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) with complex chemical structures that are difficult to construct via chemical synthesis. To date, more than 100 thiopeptides have been discovered, and most of these compounds exhibit remarkable biological activities, such as antibacterial, antitumor and immunosuppressive activities. Therefore, studies of the biosynthesis of thiopeptides can contribute to the development of new drug leads and facilitate the understanding of the complex post-translational modifications (PTMs) of peptides and/or proteins. Since the biosynthetic gene clusters of thiopeptides were first discovered in 2009, several research studies regarding the biochemistry and enzymology of thiopeptide biosyntheses have been reported, indicating that their characteristic framework is constructed via a cascade of common PTMs and that additional specific PTMs diversify the molecules. In this review, we primarily summarize recent advances in understanding the biosynthesis of thiopeptide antibiotics and propose some potential applications based on our insights into the biosynthetic logic and machinery.

Abstract
Nosiheptide, an archetypal member of thiopeptide antibiotics, arises from post-translational modifications of a ribosomally synthesized precursor peptide that contains an N-terminal leader peptide (LP) sequence and a C-terminal core peptide (CP) sequence. Despite extensive efforts concerning the biosynthesis of thiopeptide antibiotics, the regulatory mechanisms in this process remain poorly understood. Using the nosiheptide-producing Streptomyces actuosus strain as a model system, we report here that NosP, a Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein, serves as the only cluster-situated regulator and activates the transcription of all structural genes, which are organized into two divergently transcribed operons in the nos cluster, by binding to their intergenic region. NocP, the counterpart of NosP in Nocardia sp., regulates the production of structurally related nocathiacin I in a similar manner. NosP activity senses the nosiheptide biosynthetic process by interactions with both peptidyl and small-molecule ligands that result from the LP and CP parts of the precursor peptide, respectively.

Abstract
Nosiheptide (NOS), a typical member of the thiopeptides, possesses strong activities against multidrug-resistant, gram-positive bacterial pathogens. Similar to other thiopeptides, the biosynthetic pathway of NOS belongs to a ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptide system. Bioinformatics analysis of the NOS gene cluster suggests that nosP gene encodes a homologous protein of the Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein (SARP) family. In the present study, the actual initiation codon of nosP was identified by comparison of potential initiation codons GUG and AUG. In contrast to previous predictions of starting with GUG, AUG, corresponding to methionine residue as the 53rd residue in the original sequence, is actually the initiation codon of nosP, indicating that a truncated form of NosP (NosP53-323) is a functional protein. For better understanding of the transcriptional regulation for NOS biosynthesis, the binding region was subsequently investigated with NosP53-323, demonstrating that NosP53-323 specifically binds the bidirectional nosL-nosM promoter region. Additionally, NosP53-323 was confirmed to serve as a transcription factor to activate the transcription of all 15 structural genes in the gene cluster. The present study provides new insights into pathway-specific regulation of the biosynthesis of NOS, which would be beneficial to the investigation of the regulatory function of similar SARP proteins in the gene clusters of other thiopeptides.-Wu, X., Jin, L., Zhang, H., Tong, R., Ma, M., Chen, Y.

Abstract
Thiopeptide antibiotics, which are a class of sulfur-rich and highly modified peptide natural products, exhibit a wide variety of important biological properties. These antibiotics are ribosomally synthesized and arise from post-translational modifications, exemplifying a process through which nature develops the structural complexity from Ser/Thr and Cys-rich precursor peptides. Following a brief review of the knowledge gained from nature in terms of the formation of a common thiopeptide scaffold and its specialization to individual members, we highlight the significance of bio-inspired engineering, which has greatly expanded the molecular diversity and utility of thiopeptide antibiotics regarding the search for clinically useful agents, investigation into new mechanisms of action and access to typically 'inaccessible' biosynthetic processes over the past two years.

Abstract
With advances in sequencing technology, uncharacterized proteins and domains of unknown function (DUFs) are rapidly accumulating in sequence databases and offer an opportunity to discover new protein chemistry and reaction mechanisms. The focus of this review, the formerly enigmatic YcaO superfamily (DUF181), has been found to catalyze a unique phosphorylation of a ribosomal peptide backbone amide upon attack by different nucleophiles. Established nucleophiles are the side chains of Cys, Ser, and Thr which gives rise to azoline/azole biosynthesis in ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptide (RiPP) natural products. However, much remains unknown about the potential for YcaO proteins to collaborate with other nucleophiles. Recent work suggests potential in forming thioamides, macroamidines, and possibly additional post-translational modifications. This review covers all knowledge through mid-2016 regarding the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), natural products, functions, mechanisms, and applications of YcaO proteins and outlines likely future research directions for this protein superfamily.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Nosiheptide, a typical member of the ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs), exhibits potent activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial pathogens. The precursor peptide of nosiheptide (NosM) is comprised of a leader peptide with 37 amino acids and a core peptide containing 13 amino acids. To pinpoint elements in the leader peptide that are essential for nosiheptide biosynthesis, a collection of mutants with unique sequence features, including N- and C-terminal motifs, peptide length, and specific sites in the leader peptide, was generated by mutagenesis in vivo The effects of various mutants on nosiheptide biosynthesis were evaluated. In addition to the necessity of a conserved motif LEIS box, native length and the N-terminal 12 amino acid residues were indispensable, and single-site substitutions of these 12 amino acid residues resulted in changes ranging from a greater-than-5-fold decrease to a 2-fold increase of nosiheptide production, depending on the sites and substituted residues. Moreover, although the C-terminal motif is not conservative, significant effects of this portion on nosiheptide production were also evident. Taken together, the present results further highlight the importance of the leader peptide in nosiheptide biosynthesis, and provide new insights into the diversity and specificity of leader peptides in the biosynthesis of various RiPPs. IMPORTANCE As a representative thiopeptide, nosiheptide exhibits excellent antibacterial activity. Although the biosynthetic gene cluster and several modification steps have been revealed, the presence and roles of the leader peptide within the precursor peptide of the nosiheptide gene cluster remain elusive. Thus, identification of specific elements in the leader peptide can significantly facilitate the genetic manipulation of the gene cluster for increasing nosiheptide production or generating diverse analogues. Given the complexity of the biosynthetic process, the instability of the leader peptide, and the unavailability of intermediates, cocrystallization of intermediates, leader peptide, and modification enzymes is currently not feasible. Therefore, a mutagenesis approach was used to construct a series of leader peptide mutants to uncover a number of crucial and characteristic elements affecting nosiheptide biosynthesis, which moves a considerable distance toward a thorough understanding of the biosynthetic machinery for thiopeptides.

Abstract
Thiostrepton (TSR), an archetypal bimacrocyclic thiopeptide antibiotic that arises from complex posttranslational modifications of a genetically encoded precursor peptide, possesses a quinaldic acid (QA) moiety within the side-ring system of a thiopeptide-characteristic framework. Focusing on selective engineering of the QA moiety, i.e., by fluorination or methylation, we have recently designed and biosynthesized biologically more active TSR analogs. Using these analogs as chemical probes, we uncovered an unusual indirect mechanism of TSR-type thiopeptides, which are able to act against intracellular pathogens through host autophagy induction in addition to direct targeting of bacterial ribosome. Herein, we report the accumulation of 6'-fluoro-7', 8'-epoxy-TSR, a key intermediate in the preparation of the analog 6'-fluoro-TSR. This unexpected finding led to unveiling of the TSR maturation process, which involves an unusual dual activity of TsrI, an α/β-hydrolase fold protein, for cascade C-N bond cleavage and formation during side-ring system construction. These two functions of TsrI rely on the same catalytic triad, Ser72-His200-Asp191, which first mediates endopeptidyl hydrolysis that occurs selectively between the residues Met-1 and Ile1 for removal of the leader peptide and then triggers epoxide ring opening for closure of the QA-containing side-ring system in a regio- and stereo-specific manner. The former reaction likely requires the formation of an acyl-Ser72 enzyme intermediate; in contrast, the latter is independent of Ser72. Consequently, C-6' fluorination of QA lowers the reactivity of the epoxide intermediate and, thereby, allows the dissection of the TsrI-associated enzymatic process that proceeds rapidly and typically is difficult to be realized during TSR biosynthesis.

Abstract
Bioactive small molecules that are produced by living organisms, often referred to as natural products (NPs), historically play a critical role in the context of both medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. How nature creates these chemical entities with stunning structural complexity and diversity using a limited range of simple substrates has not been fully understood. Focusing on two types of NPs that share a highly evolvable ‘template’-biosynthetic logic, we here provide specific examples to highlight the conceptual and technological leaps in NP biosynthesis and witness the area of progress since the beginning of the twenty-first century. The biosynthesis of polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides and their hybrids that share an assembly-line enzymology of modular multifunctional proteins exemplifies an extended ‘central dogma’ that correlates the genotype of catalysts with the chemotype of products; in parallel, post-translational modifications of ribosomally synthesized peptides involve a number of unusual biochemical mechanisms for molecular maturation. Understanding the biosynthetic processes of these templated NPs would largely facilitate the design, development and utilization of compatible biosynthetic machineries to address the challenge that often arises from structural complexity to the accessibility and efficiency of current chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Crops lack genetic resistance to most necrotrophic pathogens. To compensate for this disadvantage, plants recruit antagonistic members of the soil microbiome to defend their roots against pathogens and other pests. The best examples of this microbially based defense of roots are observed in disease-suppressive soils in which suppressiveness is induced by continuously growing crops that are susceptible to a pathogen, but the molecular basis of most is poorly understood. Here we report the microbial characterization of a Korean soil with specific suppressiveness to Fusarium wilt of strawberry. In this soil, an attack on strawberry roots by Fusarium oxysporum results in a response by microbial defenders, of which members of the Actinobacteria appear to have a key role. We also identify Streptomyces genes responsible for the ribosomal synthesis of a novel heat-stable antifungal thiopeptide antibiotic inhibitory to F. oxysporum and the antibiotic's mode of action against fungal cell wall biosynthesis. Both classical- and community-oriented approaches were required to dissect this suppressive soil from the field to the molecular level, and the results highlight the role of natural antibiotics as weapons in the microbial warfare in the rhizosphere that is integral to plant health, vigor and development.

Abstract
Dehydroalanine (Dha) is a nonproteinogenic electrophilic amino acid that is a synthetic intermediate or product in the biosynthesis of several bioactive cyclic peptides such as lantibiotics, thiopeptides, and microcystins. Dha also enables labeling of proteins and synthesis of post-translationally modified proteins and their analogues. However, current chemical approaches to introducing Dha into peptides have substantial limitations. Using in vitro selection, here we show that DNA can catalyze Zn(2+) or Zn(2+)/Mn(2+)-dependent formation of Dha from phosphoserine (pSer), i.e., exhibit pSer lyase activity, a fundamentally new DNA-catalyzed reaction. Two new pSer lyase deoxyribozymes, named Dha-forming deoxyribozymes 1 and 2 (DhaDz1 and DhaDz2), each function with multiple turnover on the model hexapeptide substrate that was used during selection. Using DhaDz1, we generated Dha from pSer within an unrelated linear 13-mer peptide. Subsequent base-promoted intramolecular cyclization of homocysteine into Dha formed a stable cystathionine (thioether) analogue of the complement inhibitor compstatin. These findings establish the fundamental catalytic ability of DNA to eliminate phosphate from pSer to form Dha and suggest that with further development, pSer lyase deoxyribozymes will have broad practical utility for site-specific enzymatic synthesis of Dha from pSer in peptide substrates.
