Abstract
The heterocyclic amine 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazolium [4, 5-B] pyridine (PhIP), commonly found in roasted meat products, is considered a potential carcinogen. This study is to explore the underlying mechanisms involved in the adsorption of PhIP by lactic acid bacteria 37X-15 and its peptidoglycan. The scanning electron microscope results suggested that the strain's adsorption on PhIP occurs on the cell wall, primarily composed of peptidoglycan. The fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy results indicated that PhIP adsorption by both lactic acid bacteria 37X-15 and its peptidoglycan primarily involved OH and NH binding groups. Different adsorption conditions affected the adsorption rate of PhIP by peptidoglycan. The optimal values for each adsorption condition were 2 h, 37 °C, and pH 6 when the maximum adsorption rate reached. This study provides a new direction for the application of lactic acid bacteria and its peptidoglycan in food safety.

Metabolic engineering of the shikimate pathway in Amycolatopsis strains for optimized glycopeptide antibiotic production. Metab Eng 2023; 78:84-92. [PMID: 37244369 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymben.2023.05.005] [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: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Glycopeptide antibiotics (GPA) consist of a glycosylated heptapeptide backbone enriched in aromatic residues originating from the shikimate pathway. Since the enzymatic reactions within the shikimate pathway are highly feedback-regulated, this raises the question as to how GPA producers control the delivery of precursors for GPA assembly. We chose Amycolatopsis balhimycina, the producer of balhimycin, as a model strain for analyzing the key enzymes of the shikimate pathway. A. balhimycina contains two copies each of the key enzymes of the shikimate pathway, deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (Dahp) and prephenate dehydrogenase (Pdh), with one pair (Dahpsec and Pdhsec) encoded within the balhimycin biosynthetic gene cluster and one pair (Dahpprim and Pdhprim) in the core genome. While overexpression of the dahpsec gene resulted in a significant (>4-fold) increase in balhimycin yield, no positive effects were observed after overexpression of the pdhprim or pdhsec genes. Investigation of allosteric enzyme inhibition revealed that cross-regulation between the tyrosine and phenylalanine pathways plays an important role. Tyrosine, a key precursor of GPAs, was found to be a putative activator of prephenate dehydratase (Pdt), which catalyzes the first step reaction from prephenate to phenylalanine in the shikimate pathway. Surprisingly, overexpression of pdt in A. balhimycina led to an increase in antibiotic production in this modified strain. In order to demonstrate that this metabolic engineering approach is generally applicable to GPA producers, we subsequently applied this strategy to Amycolatopsis japonicum and improved the production of ristomycin A, which is used in diagnosis of genetic disorders. Comparison of "cluster-specific" enzymes with the isoenzymes from the primary metabolism's pathway provided insights into the adaptive mechanisms used by producers to ensure adequate precursor supply and GPA yields. These insights further demonstrate the importance of a holistic approach in bioengineering efforts that takes into account not only peptide assembly but also adequate precursor supply.

Abstract
A new strategy for the preparation of distinct N -substituted muropeptides is described. Different orthogonally N -protected disaccharide thioglycosides were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 4 , qualified as a key intermediate, was utilized for further chemical transformations to develop a series of diverse N -substituted-glucosaminyl N -substituted-muramyl dipeptides (GMDPs). These unique muropeptides were applied for the study of human NOD2 stimulation. Intriguingly, structural modification of the MurNAc residue to N -non-substituted muramic acid (MurNH 2 ) in GMDP dramatically impaired NOD2 stimulatory activity, but GMDPs possessing the glucosamine residue with a free amino group retained NOD2 stimulation activity. This work is the first study to illustrate the impact of both N -substituents of GMDPs on immunostimulatory activities of human NOD2.

Abstract
The peptidoglycan (PG), as the exoskeleton of most prokaryotes, maintains a defined shape and ensures cell integrity against the high internal turgor pressure. These important roles have attracted researchers to target PG metabolism in order to control bacterial infections. Most studies, however, have been performed in bacteria grown under laboratory conditions, leading to only a partial view on how the PG is synthetized in natural environments. As a case in point, PG metabolism and its regulation remain poorly understood in symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria living inside eukaryotic cells. This review focuses on the PG metabolism of intracellular bacteria, emphasizing the necessity of more in vivo studies involving the analysis of enzymes produced in the intracellular niche and the isolation of PG from bacteria residing within eukaryotic cells. The review also points to persistent infections caused by some intracellular bacterial pathogens and the extent at which the PG could contribute to establish such physiological state. Based on recent evidences, I speculate on the idea that certain structural features of the PG may facilitate attenuation of intracellular growth. Lastly, I discuss recent findings in endosymbionts supporting a cooperation between host and bacterial enzymes to assemble a mature PG.
