Zhukrovska K, Binda E, Fedorenko V, Marinelli F, Yushchuk O. The Impact of Heterologous Regulatory Genes from Lipodepsipeptide Biosynthetic Gene Clusters on the Production of Teicoplanin and A40926. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:115. [PMID: 38391501 PMCID: PMC10886168 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13020115] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
StrR-like pathway-specific transcriptional regulators (PSRs) function as activators in the biosynthesis of various antibiotics, including glycopeptides (GPAs), aminoglycosides, aminocoumarins, and ramoplanin-like lipodepsipeptides (LDPs). In particular, the roles of StrR-like PSRs have been previously investigated in the biosynthesis of streptomycin, novobiocin, GPAs like balhimycin, teicoplanin, and A40926, as well as LDP enduracidin. In the current study, we focused on StrR-like PSRs from the ramoplanin biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in Actinoplanes ramoplaninifer ATCC 33076 (Ramo5) and the chersinamycin BGC in Micromonospora chersina DSM 44151 (Chers28). Through the analysis of the amino acid sequences of Ramo5 and Chers28, we discovered that these proteins are phylogenetically distant from other experimentally investigated StrR PSRs, although all StrR-like PSRs found in BGCs for different antibiotics share a conserved secondary structure. To investigate whether Ramo5 and Chers28, given their phylogenetic positions, might influence the biosynthesis of other antibiotic pathways governed by StrR-like PSRs, the corresponding genes (ramo5 and chers28) were heterologously expressed in Actinoplanes teichomyceticus NRRL B-16726 and Nonomuraea gerenzanensis ATCC 39727, which produce the clinically-relevant GPAs teicoplanin and A40926, respectively. Recombinant strains of NRRL B-16726 and ATCC 39727 expressing chers28 exhibited improved antibiotic production, although the expression of ramo5 did not yield the same effect. These results demonstrate that some StrR-like PSRs can "cross-talk" between distant biosynthetic pathways and might be utilized as tools for the activation of silent BGCs regulated by StrR-like PSRs.

Abstract
Enzymes that depend on sophisticated electron transfer via ferredoxins (Fds) exhibit outstanding catalytic capabilities, but despite decades of research, many of them are still not well understood or exploited for synthetic applications. This review aims to provide a general overview of the most important Fd-dependent enzymes and the electron transfer processes involved. While several examples are discussed, we focus in particular on the family of Rieske non-heme iron-dependent oxygenases (ROs). In addition to illustrating their electron transfer principles and catalytic potential, the current state of knowledge on structure-function relationships and the mode of interaction between the redox partner proteins is reviewed. Moreover, we highlight several key catalyzed transformations, but also take a deeper dive into their engineerability for biocatalytic applications. The overall findings from these case studies highlight the catalytic capabilities of these biocatalysts and could stimulate future interest in developing additional Fd-dependent enzyme classes for synthetic applications.

Abstract
Cancer cells have long been recognized to exhibit unique bioenergetic requirements. The apoptolidin family of glycomacrolides are distinguished by their selective cytotoxicity towards oncogene-transformed cells, yet their molecular mechanism remains uncertain. We used photoaffinity analogs of the apoptolidins to identify the F1 subcomplex of mitochondrial ATP synthase as the target of apoptolidin A. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of apoptolidin and ammocidin-ATP synthase complexes revealed a novel shared mode of inhibition that was confirmed by deep mutational scanning of the binding interface to reveal resistance mutations which were confirmed using CRISPR-Cas9. Ammocidin A was found to suppress leukemia progression in vivo at doses that were tolerated with minimal toxicity. The combination of cellular, structural, mutagenesis, and in vivo evidence defines the mechanism of action of apoptolidin family glycomacrolides and establishes a path to address oxidative phosphorylation-dependent cancers.

Abstract
Three novel actinomycete strains, designated as DR6-1T, DR6-2 and DR6-4, isolated from the roots of Dendrobium heterocarpum Lindl in Thailand were studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains grew at 20-37 °C, at pH 5-10 and with 5 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and MK-9(H4) was a major menaquinone. Arabinose and galactose were the major sugars in the cell wall. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The detected polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. Strains DR6-1T, DR6-2 and DR6-4 shared 99.9-100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and were closely related to Amycolatopsis echigonensis JCM 21831T (98.7-98.8%). The approximate genome size of strain DR6-1T was 9.6 Mb with a G+C content of 69.6 mol%. The ANIb and dDDH values between genomic sequences of strain DR6-1T and Amycolatopsis echigonensis JCM21831T, Amycolatopsis rubida JCM 10871T and Amycolatopsis nivea KCTC 39515T were 90.55, 92.25, 92.60%, and 47.20, 52.10 and 52.50%, respectively. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics, it has been concluded that strains DR6-1T, DR6-2 and DR6-4 represent a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis for which the name Amycolatopsis dendrobii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DR6-1T (=JCM 33742T=KCTC 49546T=TISTR 2840T).

Abstract
Covering from 1992 to the end of 2020-11-20.Genetically-encoded polyenic macrolactams, which are constructed by Nature using hybrid polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthase (PKSs/NRPSs) assembly lines, are part of the large collection of natural products isolated from bacteria. Activation of cryptic (i.e., silent) gene clusters in these microorganisms has more recently allowed to generate and eventually isolate additional members of the family. Having two unsaturated fragments separated by short saturated chains, the primary macrolactam is posited to undergo transannular reactions and further rearrangements thus leading to the generation of a structurally diverse collection of polycyclic (natural) products and oxidized derivatives. The review will cover the challenges that scientists face on the isolation of these unstable compounds from the cultures of the producing microorganisms, their structural characterization, biological activities, optimized biogenetic routes, as well as the skeletal rearrangements of the primary structures of the natural macrolactams derived from pericyclic reactions of the polyenic fragments. The efforts of the synthetic chemists to emulate Nature on the successful generation and structural confirmation of these natural products will also be reported.

Abstract
Strain HM190, a moderate halophile, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of the mangrove Kandelia obovata in Fugong village, China. The 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequence and the results of phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain HM190 belonged to the genus Streptomyces and had the highest sequence similarity of 99.79% to Streptomyces heilongjiangensis NEAU-W2T. The complete genome of strain HM190 comprised 7,762,826 bp in a linear chromosome with 71.97% G + C content. According to antiSMASH analysis, a total of 30 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were predicted to be involved in secondary metabolism, 12 of which were responsible for the production of polyketide- and non-ribosomal peptide-derived secondary metabolites. Gene cluster 5 was responsible for macrolide biosynthesis in a strain-specific 126,331-bp genomic island belonging to the left-arm region. Combined genomics–metabolomics analysis led to the discovery of three 22-membered macrolides (compounds 1–3). Their structures were elucidated by using spectroscopic techniques including high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The absolute configurations of compounds 1–3 were determined by the X-ray single crystal diffraction and NMR data analysis. All three compounds displayed moderate cytotoxic activities toward tumor cell lines HepG2, A549, and HCT116.

Abstract
In our screening program for new biologically active secondary metabolites, a new strain, Nocardiopsis CG3 (DSM 106572), isolated from the saltpan of Kenadsa, was found to produce five new polyene macrolactams, the kenalactams A-E (1-5). Their structures were elucidated by spectral methods (NMR and HRESIMS), and the absolute configuration was derived by chemical derivatization (Mosher's method). Through a feeding experiment, alanine was proven to be the nitrogen-bearing starter unit involved in biosynthesis of the polyketide kenalactam A (1). Kenalactam E (5) was cytotoxic against human prostate cancer PC-3 cells with an IC50 value of 2.1 μM.

Abstract
The biosynthetic machinery responsible for the production of bacterial specialised metabolites is encoded by physically clustered group of genes called biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). The experimental characterisation of numerous BGCs has led to the elucidation of subclusters of genes within BGCs, jointly responsible for the same biosynthetic function in different genetic contexts. We developed an unsupervised statistical method able to successfully detect a large number of modules (putative functional subclusters) within an extensive set of predicted BGCs in a systematic and automated manner. Multiple already known subclusters were confirmed by our method, proving its efficiency and sensitivity. In addition, the resulting large collection of newly defined modules provides new insights into the prevalence and putative biosynthetic role of these modular genetic entities. The automated and unbiased identification of hundreds of co-evolving group of genes is an essential breakthrough for the discovery and biosynthetic engineering of high-value compounds.

Abstract
Discovering bioactive metabolites within a metabolome is challenging because there is generally little foreknowledge of metabolite molecular and cell-targeting activities. Here, single-cell response profiles and primary human tissue comprise a response platform used to discover novel microbial metabolites with cell-type-selective effector properties in untargeted metabolomic inventories. Metabolites display diverse effector mechanisms, including targeting protein synthesis, cell cycle status, DNA damage repair, necrosis, apoptosis, or phosphoprotein signaling. Arrayed metabolites are tested against acute myeloid leukemia patient bone marrow and molecules that specifically targeted blast cells or nonleukemic immune cell subsets within the same tissue biopsy are revealed. Cell-targeting polyketides are identified in extracts from biosynthetically prolific bacteria, including a previously unreported leukemia blast-targeting anthracycline and a polyene macrolactam that alternates between targeting blasts or nonmalignant cells by way of light-triggered photochemical isomerization. High-resolution cell profiling with mass cytometry confirms response mechanisms and is used to validate initial observations.

Abstract
The enzymology of 135 assembly lines containing primarily cis-acyltransferase modules is comprehensively analyzed, with greater attention paid to less common phenomena. Diverse online transformations, in which the substrate and/or product of the reaction is an acyl chain bound to an acyl carrier protein, are classified so that unusual reactions can be compared and underlying assembly-line logic can emerge. As a complement to the chemistry surrounding the loading, extension, and offloading of assembly lines that construct primarily polyketide products, structural aspects of the assembly-line machinery itself are considered. This review of assembly-line phenomena, covering the literature up to 2017, should thus be informative to the modular polyketide synthase novice and expert alike.

The apoptolidins are glycomacrolide microbial metabolites reported to be selectively cytotoxic against tumor cells. Using fluorescently tagged active derivatives we demonstrate selective uptake of these four tagged glycomacrolides in cancer cells over healthy human blood cells. We also demonstrate the utility of these five fluorescently tagged glycomacrolides in fluorescent flow cytometry to monitor cellular uptake of the six glycomacrolides and cellular response.

Abstract
Intergeneric microbial interactions may originate a significant fraction of secondary metabolic gene regulation in nature. Herein, we expose a genomically characterized Nocardiopsis strain, with untapped polyketide biosynthetic potential, to intergeneric interactions via coculture with low inoculum exposure to Escherichia, Bacillus, Tsukamurella, and Rhodococcus. The challenge-induced responses of extracted metabolites were characterized via multivariate statistical and self-organizing map (SOM) analyses, revealing the magnitude and selectivity engendered by the limiting case of low inoculum exposure. The collected inventory of cocultures revealed substantial metabolomic expansion in comparison to monocultures with nearly 14% of metabolomic features in cocultures undetectable in monoculture conditions and many features unique to coculture genera. One set of SOM-identified responding features was isolated, structurally characterized by multidimensional NMR, and revealed to comprise previously unreported polyketides containing an unusual pyrrolidinol substructure and moderate and selective cytotoxicity. Designated ciromicin A and B, they are detected across mixed cultures with intergeneric preferences under coculture conditions. The structural novelty of ciromicin A is highlighted by its ability to undergo a diastereoselective photochemical 12-π electron rearrangement to ciromicin B at visible wavelengths. This study shows how organizing trends in metabolomic responses under coculture conditions can be harnessed to characterize multipartite cultures and identify previously silent secondary metabolism.

Abstract
Two new apoptolidins, 2'-O-succinyl-apoptolidin A (11) and 3'-O-succinyl-apoptolidin A (12), were isolated from the culture broth of an Indonesian Amycolatopsis sp. ICBB 8242. These compounds inhibit the proliferation and viability of human H292 and HeLa cells. However, in contrast to apoptolidin A (1), they do not inhibit cellular respiration in H292 cells. It is proposed that apoptolidins are produced and secreted in their succinylated forms and 1 is the hydrolysis product of 11 and 12.

Abstract
The loading acyltransferase (AT) domains of modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) control the choice of starter units incorporated into polyketides and are therefore attractive targets for the engineering of modular PKSs. Here, we report the structural and biochemical characterizations of the loading AT from avermectin modular PKS, which accepts more than 40 carboxylic acids as alternative starter units for the biosynthesis of a series of congeners. This first structural analysis of loading ATs from modular PKSs revealed the molecular basis for the relaxed substrate specificity. Residues important for substrate binding and discrimination were predicted by modeling a substrate into the active site. A mutant with altered specificity toward a panel of synthetic substrate mimics was generated by site-directed mutagenesis of the active site residues. The hydrolysis of the N-acetylcysteamine thioesters of racemic 2-methylbutyric acid confirmed the stereospecificity of the avermectin loading AT for an S configuration at the C-2 position of the substrate. Together, these results set the stage for region-specific modification of polyketides through active site engineering of loading AT domains of modular PKSs.

Abstract
Apoptolidin A has been described among the top 0.1% most-cell-selective cytotoxic agents to be evaluated in the NCI 60 cell line panel. The molecular structure of apoptolidin A consists of a 20-membered macrolide with mono- and disaccharide moieties. In contrast to apoptolidin A, the aglycone (apoptolidinone) shows no cytotoxicity (>10 μM) when evaluated against several tumor cell lines. Apoptolidin H, the C27 deglycosylated analogue of apoptolidin A, displayed sub-micromolar activity against H292 lung carcinoma cells. Selective esterification of apoptolidins A and H with 5-azidopentanoic acid afforded azido-functionalized derivatives of potency equal to that of the parent macrolide. They also underwent strain-promoted alkyne-azido cycloaddition reactions to provide access to fluorescent and biotin-functionalized probes. Microscopy studies demonstrate apoptolidins A and H localize in the mitochondria of H292 human lung carcinoma cells.

Abstract
Microbial genome mining is a rapidly developing approach to discover new and novel secondary metabolites for drug discovery. Many advances have been made in the past decade to facilitate genome mining, and these are reviewed in this Special Issue of the Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology. In this Introductory Review, we discuss the concept of genome mining and why it is important for the revitalization of natural product discovery; what microbes show the most promise for focused genome mining; how microbial genomes can be mined; how genome mining can be leveraged with other technologies; how progress on genome mining can be accelerated; and who should fund future progress in this promising field. We direct interested readers to more focused reviews on the individual topics in this Special Issue for more detailed summaries on the current state-of-the-art.

Abstract
Padanamides are linear tetrapeptides notable for the absence of proteinogenic amino acids in their structures. In particular, two unusual heterocycles, (S)-3-amino-2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxamide (S-Aopc) and (S)-3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione (S-Apd), are found at the C-termini of padanamides A and B, respectively. Here we identify the padanamide biosynthetic gene cluster and carry out systematic gene inactivation studies. Our results show that padanamides are synthesized by highly dissociated hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase machinery. We further demonstrate that carbamoyltransferase gene padQ is critical to the formation of padanamide A but dispensable for biosynthesis of padanamide B. Biochemical investigations show that PadQ carbamoylates the rare biosynthetic precursor l-2,4-diaminobutyrate, generating l-2-amino-4-ureidobutyrate, the presumed precursor to the C-terminal residue of padanamide A. By contrast, the C-terminal residue of padanamide B may derive from glutamine. An unusual thioesterase-catalyzed cyclization is proposed to generate the S-Aopc/S-Apd heterocycles.

Abstract
Bacteria develop resistance to many classes of antibiotics vertically, by engendering mutations in genes encoding transcriptional and translational apparatus. These severe adaptations affect global transcription, translation, and the correspondingly affected metabolism. Here, we characterize metabolome scale changes in transcriptional and translational mutants in a genomically characterized Nocardiopsis, a soil-derived actinomycete, in stationary phase. Analysis of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry metabolomic features from a cohort of streptomycin- and rifampicin-resistant mutants grown in the absence of antibiotics exhibits clear metabolomic speciation, and loadings analysis catalogs a marked change in metabolic phenotype. Consistent with derepression, up to 311 features are observed in antibiotic-resistant mutants that are not detected in their progenitors. Mutants demonstrate changes in primary metabolism, such as modulation of fatty acid composition and the increased production of the osmoprotectant ectoine, in addition to the presence of abundant emergent potential secondary metabolites. Isolation of three of these metabolites followed by structure elucidation demonstrates them to be an unusual polyketide family with a previously uncharacterized xanthene framework resulting from sequential oxidative carbon skeletal rearrangements. Designated as "mutaxanthenes," this family can be correlated to a type II polyketide gene cluster in the producing organism. Taken together, these data suggest that biosynthetic pathway derepression is a general consequence of some antibiotic resistance mutations.
