Critical analysis of polycyclic tetramate macrolactam biosynthetic gene cluster phylogeny and functional diversity. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0060024.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) are bioactive natural products commonly associated with certain actinobacterial and proteobacterial lineages. These molecules have been the subject of numerous structure-activity investigations since the 1970s. New members continue to be pursued in wild and engineered bacterial strains, and advances in PTM biosynthesis suggest their outwardly simplistic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) belie unexpected product complexity. To address the origins of this complexity and understand its influence on PTM discovery, we engaged in a combination of bioinformatics to systematically classify PTM BGCs and PTM-targeted metabolomics to compare the products of select BGC types. By comparing groups of producers and BGC mutants, we exposed knowledge gaps that complicate bioinformatics-driven product predictions. In sum, we provide new insights into the evolution of PTM BGCs while systematically accounting for the PTMs discovered thus far. The combined computational and metabologenomic findings presented here should prove useful for guiding future discovery.IMPORTANCEPolycyclic tetramate macrolactam (PTM) pathways are frequently found within the genomes of biotechnologically important bacteria, including Streptomyces and Lysobacter spp. Their molecular products are typically bioactive, having substantial agricultural and therapeutic interest. Leveraging bacterial genomics for the discovery of new related molecules is thus desirable, but drawing accurate structural predictions from bioinformatics alone remains challenging. This difficulty stems from a combination of previously underappreciated biosynthetic complexity and remaining knowledge gaps, compounded by a stream of yet-uncharacterized PTM biosynthetic loci gleaned from recently sequenced bacterial genomes. We engaged in the following study to create a useful framework for cataloging historic PTM clusters, identifying new cluster variations, and tracing evolutionary paths for these molecules. Our data suggest new PTM chemistry remains discoverable in nature. However, our metabolomic and mutational analyses emphasize the practical limitations of genomics-based discovery by exposing hidden complexity.

Abstract
A known polycyclic tetramate macrolactam (aburatubolactam C, 3) and three new ones (aburatubolactams D-F, 4-6, respectively) were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40070. The absolute configuration of 3 was established by X-ray analysis. A combinatorial biosynthetic approach unveiled biosynthetic enzymes dictating the formation of distinct 5/5-type ring systems (such as C7-C14 cyclization by AtlB1 in 5 and C6-C13 cyclization by AtlB2 in 6) in aburatubolactams.

Abstract
Regio- and chemoselective C-H activation at multi-positions of a single molecule is fascinating but chemically challenging. The homologous cytochrome P450 enzymes IkaD and CftA catalyze multiple C-H oxidations on the same polycyclic tetramate macrolactam (PoTeM) ikarugamycin, with distinct regio- and chemoselectivity. Herein we provide mechanistic understanding of their functional differences by solving crystal structures of IkaD and CftA in complex with ikarugamycin and unnatural substrates. Distinct conformations of the F/G region in IkaD and CftA are found to differentiate the orientation of PoTeM substrates, by causing different binding patterns with polar moieties to determine site selection, oxidation order, and chemoselectivity. Fine-tuning the polar subpocket altered the regioselectivity of IkaD, indicating that substrate re-orientation by mutating residues distal to the oxidation site could serve as an important method in future engineering of P450 enzymes.

Abstract
The structural diversity of polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) are mainly generated by the cyclases and cytochrome P450s (CYPs). The PoTeM cluster sah in Saccharopolyspora hirsuta harboring two CYP genes was combinatorially reassembled and heterologously expressed in Streptomyces. As a result, six new cytotoxic PoTeMs, sahamides A-F (1-6), were discovered, and 1-3 are the first examples of oxidized one-ring PoTeMs. Remarkably, SahE represents the first CYP performing oxidative modification on the ornithine moiety of PoTeMs.

Abstract
Over the past few decades (covering 1972 to 2022), astounding progress has been made in the elucidation of structures, bioactivities and biosynthesis of polyene macrolactams (PMLs), but they have only been partially summarized. PMLs possess a wide range of biological activities, particularly distinctive fungal inhibitory abilities, which render them a promising drug candidate. Moreover, the unique biosynthetic pathways including β-amino acid initiation and pericyclic reactions were presented in PMLs, leading to more attention from inside and outside the natural products community. According to current summation, in this review, the chem- and bio-diversity of PMLs from marine and terrestrial sources are considerably rich. A systematic, critical and comprehensive overview is in great need. This review described the PMLs’ general structural features, production strategies, biosynthetic pathways and the mechanisms of bioactivities. The challenges and opportunities for the research of PMLs are also discussed.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) are a class of structurally complex hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide (PK-NRP) natural products produced by diverse bacteria. Several PTMs display pharmaceutically interesting bioactivities, and the early stages of PTM biosynthesis involving polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymology are well studied. However, the timing and mechanisms of post PKS-NRPS oxidations by P450 monooxygenases encoded in PTM biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remain poorly characterized. Here we demonstrate that CftA, encoded in clifednamide-type PTM BGCs, is a multifunctional P450 monooxygenase capable of converting the C29-C30 ethyl side chain of ikarugamycin to either a C29-C30 methyl ketone or a C29-C30 hydroxymethyl ketone through C-H bond activation, resulting in the formation of clifednamide A or clifednamide C, respectively. We also report the complete structure of clifednamide C solved via multidimensional NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, and TOCSY) using material purified from an engineered Streptomyces strain optimized for production. Finally, the in vitro reconstitution of recombinant CftA catalytic activity revealed the oxidation cascade for sequential conversion of ikarugamycin to clifednamide A and clifednamide C. Our findings confirm prior genetics-based predictions on the origins of clifednamide complexity via P450s encoded in PTM BGCs and place CftA into a growing group of multifunctional P450s that tailor PTM natural products through late-stage regioselective C-H bond activation.

Abstract
Natural products play an important role in drug development, among which marine natural products are an underexplored resource. This review summarizes recent developments in marine natural product research, with an emphasis on compound discovery and production methods. Traditionally, novel compounds with useful biological activities have been identified through the chromatographic separation of crude extracts. New genome sequencing and bioinformatics technologies have enabled the identification of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters in marine microbes that are difficult to culture. Subsequently, heterologous expression and combinatorial biosynthesis have been used to produce natural products and their analogs. This review examines recent examples of such new strategies and technologies for the development of marine natural products.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) are a family of natural products containing a tetramic acid moiety and a polycyclic system. Due to the valuable biological activities of different PoTeMs and the genetic simplicity of their biosynthetic genes, it is highly desirable to manipulate the biosynthesis of PoTeMs by swapping modification genes between different pathways. Herein, by combining the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes from different PoTeM pathways with the combamides' biosynthetic genes, the new combamides G (3), I (5), and J (6) along with the known combamides B (1), D (2), and H (4) were identified from the recombinant strains. Combamides G (3), H (4), and J (6) displayed cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines. Furthermore, our results demonstrated for the first time the substrate specificity of the PoTeM-related CYPs in vivo, which will facilitate the engineered biosynthesis of other PoTeMs in the future.

Abstract
We have previously shown deep-sea-derived Streptomyces koyangensis SCSIO 5802 to produce two types of active secondary metabolites, abyssomicins and candicidins. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of S. koyangensis SCSIO 5802 employing bioinformatics to highlight its potential to produce at least 21 categories of natural products. In order to mine novel natural products, the production of two polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs), the known 10-epi-HSAF (1) and a new compound, koyanamide A (2), was stimulated via inactivation of the abyssomicin and candicidin biosynthetic machineries. Detailed bioinformatics analyses revealed a PKS/NRPS gene cluster, containing 6 open reading frames (ORFs) and spanning ~16 kb of contiguous genomic DNA, as the putative PTM biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) (termed herein sko). We furthermore demonstrate, via gene disruption experiments, that the sko cluster encodes the biosynthesis of 10-epi-HSAF and koyanamide A. Finally, we propose a plausible biosynthetic pathway to 10-epi-HSAF and koyanamide A. In total, this study demonstrates an effective approach to cryptic BGC activation enabling the discovery of new bioactive metabolites; genome mining and metabolic profiling methods play key roles in this strategy.

An Antifungal Polycyclic Tetramate Macrolactam, Heat-Stable Antifungal Factor (HSAF), Is a Novel Oxidative Stress Modulator in Lysobacter enzymogenes. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.03105-20.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) are a fast-growing family of antibiotic natural products found in phylogenetically diverse microorganisms. Surprisingly, none of the PoTeMs have been investigated for potential physiological functions in their producers. Here, we used heat-stable antifungal factor (HSAF), an antifungal PoTeM from Lysobacter enzymogenes, as a model to show that PoTeMs form complexes with iron ions, with an association constant (Ka ) of 2.71 × 106 M-1 The in vivo and in vitro data showed formation of 2:1 and 3:1 complexes between HSAF and iron ions, which were confirmed by molecular mechanical and quantum mechanical calculations. HSAF protected DNA from degradation in high concentrations of iron and H2O2 or under UV radiation. HSAF mutants of L. enzymogenes barely survived under oxidative stress and exhibited markedly increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exogenous addition of HSAF into the mutants significantly prevented ROS production and restored normal growth in the mutants under the oxidative stress. The results reveal that the function of HSAF is to protect the producer microorganism from oxidative damage rather than as an iron-acquisition siderophore. The characteristic structure of PoTeMs, a 2,4-pyrrolidinedione-embedded macrolactam, may represent a new iron-chelating scaffold of microbial metabolites. The study demonstrated a previously unrecognized strategy for microorganisms to modulate oxidative damage to the cells.IMPORTANCE PoTeMs are a family of structurally distinct metabolites that have been found in a large number of bacteria. Although PoTeMs exhibit diverse therapeutic properties, the physiological function of PoTeMs in the producer microorganisms had not been investigated. HSAF from Lysobacter enzymogenes is an antifungal PoTeM that has been subjected to extensive studies for mechanisms of biosynthesis, regulation, and antifungal activity. Using HSAF as a model system, we here showed that the characteristic structure of PoTeMs, a 2,4-pyrrolidinedione-embedded macrolactam, may represent a new iron-chelating scaffold of microbial metabolites. In L. enzymogenes, HSAF functions as a small-molecule modulator for oxidative damage caused by iron, H2O2, and UV light. Together, the study demonstrated a previously unrecognized strategy for microorganisms to modulate oxidative damage to the cells. HSAF represents the first member of the fast-growing PoTeM family of microbial metabolites whose potential biological function has been studied.

Abstract
Covering: up to the end of 2020Natural products bearing tetramic acid units as part of complex molecular architectures exhibit a broad range of potent biological activities. These compounds thus attract significant interest from both the biosynthetic and synthetic communities. Biosynthetically, most of the tetramic acids are derived from hybrid polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) machineries. To date, over 30 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) involved in tetramate formation have been identified, from which different biosynthetic strategies evolved in Nature to assemble this intriguing structural unit were characterized. In this Highlight we focus on the biosynthetic concepts of tetramic acid formation and discuss the molecular mechanism towards selected representatives in detail, providing a systematic overview for the development of strategies for targeted tetramate genome mining and future applications of tetramate-forming biocatalysts for chemo-enzymatic synthesis.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) are a group of hybrid PK-NRP natural products having a variable set of carbocyclic rings, a conserved assembly pathway, and diverse bioactivities. We report here the identification of seven new PoTeMs, clifednamides D-J (3-9), along with the known clifednamides A (1) and B (2) through rational pathway refactoring and heterologous expression. Remarkably, clifednamides D (3), G (6), and H (7) feature an unprecedented 27,28-seco skeleton. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 1-9 indicated that the hydroxy group of C-25, the methyl group of C-30, the inner five-membered ring, and the intact macrocycle are all critical for the activities. Meanwhile, the cytochrome P450 enzyme CftS023A and the hydroxylase CftS023E involved in oxidative tailoring of clifednamides were found to decorate the fused 5-6 bicyclic intermediates. Accordingly, the biosynthetic pathway for clifednamides was proposed.

Abstract
Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) biosynthetic gene cluster are widely distributed in different bacterial types, especially in Streptomyces species. The mining of the genomic data of marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40010 reveals the presence of a putative PTM-encoding biosynthetic gene cluster (ptm′ BGC) that features a genetic organization for potentially producing 5/5/6 type of carbocyclic ring-containing PTMs. A fermentation of Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40010 led to the isolation and characterization of six new PTMs 1–6. Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis assigned their planar structures and relative configurations, and their absolute configurations were deduced by comparing the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra with the reported spectra of the known PTMs. Intriguingly, compounds 1–6 were determined to have a trans-orientation of H-10/H-11 at the first 5-membered ring, being distinct from the cis-orientation in their known PTM congeners. PTMs 1–5 displayed cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines, with IC50 values that ranged from 2.47 to 17.68 µM.

Abstract
The polycyclic tetramate macrolactam HSAF is an antifungal natural product isolated from Lysobacter enzymogenes. HSAF and its analogues have a distinct chemical structure and new mode of antifungal action. The mechanism by which the 5/5/6 tricycle of HSAF is formed from the polyene precursor is not totally clear. Here, we used purified OX4, a homologous enzyme of alcohol dehydrogenase/Zn-binding proteins, to show the enzymatic mechanism for six-membered ring formation. The results from the deuterium isotope incorporation demonstrated that OX4 selectively transfers the pro-R hydride of NADPH to C21 and one proton from water to C10 of 3-deOH alteramide C (1), resulting in 3-deOH HSAF (2) through a reductive cyclization of the polyene precursor by a mechanism consistent with an extended 1,6-Michael addition reaction. The regioselective incorporation of the NADPH hydride into C21 of 1 is also stereoselective, leading to the 21S configuration of 2. This work represents the first characterization of the activity and selectivity of the enzyme for six-membered ring formation in a group of distinct antifungal polycyclic tetramate macrolactams.

Abstract
HSAF and analogues are polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) isolated from Lysobacter enzymogenes. Due to their antifungal activity, distinct chemical structure and new mode of action, PoTeMs have been the subject of several studies for their biosynthetic mechanism. However, polycycle formation is still not well understood. HSAF and several analogues (alteramides) carry a C20-hydroxyl, which is absent in most known PoTeMs such as combamides and pactamides. Previous studies indicated that two genes encoding NAD(P)H-dependent flavin enzymes (OX1/OX2) are responsible for the second five-membered ring formation in HSAF and alteramides. Intriguingly, the products of OX1/OX2 always carry the C20-OH. To test the hypothesis that the formation of the second five-membered ring is coupled with the C20-hydroxylation, we constructed a hybrid PoTeM gene cluster through removing OX1/OX2 in the HSAF cluster and functional complementation by CbmB, which also catalyzes the second five-membered ring formation in combamides but lacking the C20-OH. Two heterologous hosts carrying the hybrid cluster generated the same three PoTeMs, including lysobacterene B (3, the one-ring precursor of HSAF) and combamide D (4, a two-ring product lacking the C20-OH). The third product was not related to either of the clusters and was identified to be pactamide A (5) using mass spectrometry, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and ECD spectroscopy. The results demonstrate the feasibility of producing new PoTeM compounds through combinatorial biosynthesis. More importantly, this study provides the first experimental evidence to support that the second ring formation is coupled with the C20-hydroxylation in the biosynthesis of HSAF and analogues.
