Abstract
Azoxy compounds are a distinctive group of bioactive secondary metabolites characterized by a unique RN═N+(O-)R moiety. The azoxy moiety is present in various classes of metabolites that exhibit various biological activities. The enzymatic mechanisms underlying azoxy bond formation remain enigmatic. Azodyrecins are cytotoxic azoxy metabolites produced by Streptomyces mirabilis P8-A2. Here, we cloned and confirmed the putative azd biosynthetic gene cluster through CATCH cloning followed by expression and production of azodyrecins in two heterologous hosts, S. albidoflavus J1074 and S. coelicolor M1146, respectively. We explored the function of 14 enzymes in azodyrecin biosynthesis through gene knockout using CRISPR-Cas9 base editing in the native producer, S. mirabilis P8-A2. The key intermediates were analyzed in the mutants through MS/MS fragmentation studies, revealing azoxy bond formation via the conversion of hydrazine to an azo compound followed by further oxygenation. Enzymes involved in modifications of the precursor could be postulated based on their predicted function and the intermediates identified in the knockout strains. Moreover, the distribution of the azoxy biosynthetic gene clusters across Streptomyces spp. genomes is explored, highlighting the presence of these clusters in over 20% of the Streptomyces spp. genomes and revealing that azoxymycin and valanimycin are scarce, while azodyrecin and KA57A-like clusters are widely distributed across the phylogenetic tree.

Abstract
A triple mutant (strain KA57) of Streptomyces rochei 7434AN4 produces an azoxy-alkene compound, KA57A, which was not detected in a parent strain or other single and double mutants. This strain accumulated several additional minor components, whose structures were elucidated. HPLC analysis of strain KA57 indicated the presence of two UV active components (KA57D1 and KA57D2) as minor components. They exhibited a maximum UV absorbance at 218 nm, whereas a UV absorbance of azoxy-alkene KA57A was detected at 236 nm, suggesting that both KA57D1 and KA57D2 contain a different chromophore from KA57A. KA57D1 has a molecular formula of C12H22N2O2, and NMR analysis revealed KA57D1 is a novel hydrazide-alkene compound, (Z)-N-acetyl-N'-(hex-1-en-1-yl)isobutylhydrazide. Labeling studies indicated that nitrogen Nβ of KA57D1 is derived from l-glutamic acid, and the isobutylamide unit (C-1 to C-3, 2-Me, and Nα) originates from valine. KA57D2 has a molecular formula of C13H24N2O2, and its structure was determined to be (Z)-N-acetyl-N'-(hex-1-en-1-yl)-2-methylbutanehydrazide, in which a 2-methylbutanamide unit was shown to originate from isoleucine. Different biogenesis of the Nα atom (l-serine for KA57A, l-valine for KA57D1, and l-isoleucine for KA57D2) indicates the relaxed substrate recognition for nitrogen-nitrogen bond formation in the biosyntheses of KA57A, KA57D1, and KA57D2.

Abstract
Nocuolin A is a cytotoxic cyanobacterial metabolite that is proposed to be produced by enzymes of the noc biosynthetic gene cluster. Nocuolin A features a 1,2,3-oxadiazine moiety, a structural feature unique among natural products and, so far, inaccessible through organic synthesis, suggesting that novel enzymatic chemistry might be involved in its biosynthesis. This heterocycle is substituted with two alkyl chains and a 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety. We report here our efforts to elucidate the origin of the carbon skeleton of nocuolin A. Supplementation of cyanobacterial cultures with stable isotope-labeled fatty acids revealed that the central C13 chain is assembled from two medium-chain fatty acids, hexanoic and octanoic acids. Using biochemical assays, we show that a fatty acyl-AMP ligase, NocH, activates both fatty acids as acyl adenylates, which are loaded onto an acyl carrier protein domain and undergo a nondecarboxylative Claisen condensation catalyzed by the ketosynthase NocG. This enzyme is part of a phylogenetically well-defined clade within similar genomic contexts. NocG presents a unique combination of characteristics found in other ketosynthases, namely in terms of substrate specificity and reactivity. Further supplementation experiments indicate that the 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety of 1 originates from methionine, through an as-yet-uncharacterized mechanism. This work provides ample biochemical evidence connecting the putative noc biosynthetic gene cluster to nocuolin A and identifies the origin of all its carbon atoms, setting the stage for elucidation of its unusual biosynthetic chemistry.

Abstract
In the proposed review, the pharmacological profile of unique, rare, and unusual fatty acids derived from natural amides is considered. These amides are produced by various microorganisms, lichens, and fungi. The biological activity of some natural fatty acid amides has been determined by their isolation from natural sources, but the biological activity of fatty acids has not been practically studied. According to QSAR data, the biological activity of fatty acids is shown, which demonstrated strong antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory activities. Moreover, some fatty acids have shown rare activities such as antidiabetic, anti-infective, anti-eczematic, antimutagenic, and anti-psoriatic activities. For some fatty acids that have pronounced biological properties, 3D graphs are shown that show a graphical representation of unique activities. These data are undoubtedly of both theoretical and practical interest for chemists, pharmacologists, as well as for the pharmaceutical industry, which is engaged in the synthesis of biologically active drugs.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are natural architects of numerous secondary metabolites including antibiotics. With increased multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, antibiotics that can combat such pathogens are urgently required to improve the health care system globally. The characterization of actinomycetes available in Nepal is still very much untouched which is the reason why this paper showcases the characterization of actinomycetes from Nepal based on their morphology, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and metabolic profiling. Additionally, antimicrobial assays and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) of ethyl acetate extracts were performed. In this study, we employed a computational-based dereplication strategy for annotating molecules which is also time-efficient. Molecular annotation was performed through the GNPS server, the SIRIUS platform, and the available databases to predict the secondary metabolites. The sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the isolates BN6 and BN14 are closely related to Streptomyces species. BN14 showed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity with the zone of inhibition up to 30 mm against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC: 0.3051 µg/mL and MBC: 9.7656 µg/mL) and Shigella sonnei (MIC: 0.3051 µg/mL and MBC: 4.882 µg/mL). Likewise, BN14 also displayed significant inhibition to Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella typhi. GNPS approach suggested that the extracts of BN6 and BN14 consisted of diketopiperazines ((cyclo(D-Trp-L-Pro), cyclo(L-Leu-L-4-hydroxy-Pro), cyclo(L-Phe-D-Pro), cyclo(L-Trp-L-Pro), cyclo(L-Val-L-Pro)), and polypeptide antibiotics (actinomycin D and X2). Additional chemical scaffolds such as bacterial alkaloids (bohemamine, venezueline B, and G), anthramycin-type antibiotics (abbeymycin), lipase inhibitor (ebelactone B), cytocidal (oxopropaline D), antifungal and antitumor antibiotics (reductiomycin, streptimidone, deoxynybomycin), alaremycin, fumaramidmycin, anisomycin, and others were also annotated, which were further confirmed by using the SIRIUS platform, and literature survey. Thus, the bioprospecting of natural products from Streptomyces species from Nepal could be a potential source for the discovery of clinically significant and new antimicrobial agents in the future.

Abstract
Hydrazine-related chemicals (HRCs) with carcinogenic and neurotoxic potential are found in certain mushrooms and plants used for food and in products employed in various industries, including aerospace. Their propensity to induce DNA damage (mostly O6-, N7- and 8-oxo-guanine lesions) resulting in multiple downstream effects is linked with both cancer and neurological disease. For cycling cells, unrepaired DNA damage leads to mutation and uncontrolled mitosis. By contrast, postmitotic neurons attempt to re-enter the cell cycle but undergo apoptosis or nonapoptotic cell death. Biomarkers of exposure to HRCs can be used to explore whether these substances are risk factors for sporadic amyotrophic laterals sclerosis and other noninherited neurodegenerative diseases, which is the focus of this paper.

Abstract
Solid-phase extraction embedded dialysis (SPEED technology) is an innovative procedure developed to physically separate in-situ, during the cultivation, the mycelium of filament forming microorganisms, such as actinomycetes and fungi, and the XAD-16 resin used to trap the secreted specialized metabolites. SPEED consists of an external nylon cloth and an internal dialysis tube containing the XAD resin. The dialysis barrier selects the molecular weight of the trapped compounds, and prevents the aggregation of biomass or macromolecules on the XAD beads. The external nylon promotes the formation of a microbial biofilm, making SPEED a biofilm supported cultivation process. SPEED technology was applied to the marine Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21, isolated from a core of a submerged Kopara sampled at 20 m from the border of a saltwater pond. The chemical space of this strain was investigated effectively using a dereplication strategy based on molecular networking and in-depth chemical analysis. The results highlight the impact of culture support on the molecular profile of Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21 secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Azoxy compounds belong to a small yet intriguing group of natural products sharing a common functional group with the general structure RN═N+(O-)R. Their intriguing chemical structures, diverse biological activities, and important industrial applications have received attention from researchers in natural product chemistry, total synthesis, and biosynthesis. This review presents current updates about the structural diversity of natural azoxy compounds isolated from different organisms and highlights the enzymes and biological logic involved in their construction. We assume that the identification of key enzymes will provide efficient tools in biocatalysis to generate new azoxy compounds, while genome mining may result in novel natural azoxy compounds of medical and industrial interest.

Abstract
The fungi Chrysosporium lobatum TM-237-S5 was isolated from the sponge Acanthella cavernosa, collected from the mesophotic coral ecosystem of the Red Sea. The strain was cultivated on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, coupling solid-state fermentation and solid-state extraction (SSF/SSE) with a neutral macroreticular polymeric adsorbent XAD Amberlite resin (AMBERLITE XAD1600N). The SSF/SSE lead to high chemodiversity and productivity compared to classical submerged cultivation. Ten phenalenone related compounds were isolated and fully characterized by one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR and HRMS. Among them, four were found to be new compounds corresponding to isoconiolactone, (-)-peniciphenalenin F, (+)-8-hydroxyscleroderodin, and (+)-8-hydroxysclerodin. It is concluded that SSF/SSE is a powerful strategy, opening a new era for the exploitation of microbial secondary metabolites.

Abstract
The strain Streptomyces osmaniensis CA-244599 isolated from the Comoros islands was submitted to liquid-state fermentation coupled to in situ solid-phase extraction with amberlite XAD-16 resin. Elution of the trapped compounds on the resin beads by ethyl acetate afforded seven metabolites, osmanicin (1), streptazolin (2), streptazone C (3), streptazone B1 (4), streptenol C (5), nocardamine (6) and desmethylenylnocardamine (7). Osmanicin (1) is a newly reported unusual scaffold combining streptazolin (2) and streptazone C (3) through a Diels-Alder type reaction. Experimental evidence excluded the spontaneous formation of 1 from 2 and 3. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit elastase using normal human diploid fibroblasts. Compound 1 exhibited the most potent activity with an IC50 of 3.7 μM.

Abstract
Colletotrichum higginsianum is the causal agent of crucifer anthracnose disease, responsible for important economic losses in Brassica crops. A mutant lacking the CclA subunit of the COMPASS complex was expected to undergo chromatin decondensation and the activation of cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. Liquid-state fermentation of the Δ cclA mutant coupled with in situ solid-phase extraction led to the production of three families of compounds, namely, colletorin and colletochlorin derivatives with two new representatives, colletorin D (1) and colletorin D acid (2), the diterpenoid α-pyrone higginsianin family with two new analogues, higginsianin C (3) and 13- epi-higginsianin C (4), and sclerosporide (5) coupling a sclerosporin moiety with dimethoxy inositol.

Discovery of a New Natural Product and a Deactivation of a Quorum Sensing System by Culturing a "Producer" Bacterium With a Heat-Killed "Inducer" Culture. Front Microbiol 2019; 9:3351. [PMID: 30705672 PMCID: PMC6344404 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2018] [Accepted: 12/31/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein we describe a modified bacterial culture methodology as a tool to discover new natural products via supplementing actinomycete fermentation media with autoclaved cultures of “inducer” microbes. Using seven actinomycetes and four inducer microbes, we detected 28 metabolites that were induced in UHPLC-HRESIMS-based analysis of bacterial fermentations. Metabolomic analysis indicated that each inducer elicited a unique response from the actinomycetes and that some chemical responses were specific to each inducer-producer combination. Among these 28 metabolites, hydrazidomycin D, a new hydrazide-containing natural product was isolated from the pair Streptomyces sp. RKBH-B178 and Mycobacterium smegmatis. This result validated the effectiveness of the strategy in discovering new natural products. From the same set of induced metabolites, an in-depth investigation of a fermentation of Streptomyces sp. RKBH-B178 and autoclaved Pseudomonas aeruginosa led to the discovery of a glucuronidated analog of the pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS). We demonstrated that RKBH-B178 is able to biotransform the P. aeruginosa quorum sensing molecules, 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ), and PQS to form PQS-GlcA. Further, PQS-GlcA was shown to have poor binding affinity to PqsR, the innate receptor of HHQ and PQS.

Abstract
The bacterial primase-an essential component in the replisome-is a promising but underexploited target for novel antibiotic drugs. Bacterial primases have a markedly different structure than the human primase. Inhibition of primase activity is expected to selectively halt bacterial DNA replication. Evidence is growing that halting DNA replication has a bacteriocidal effect. Therefore, inhibitors of DNA primase could provide antibiotic agents. Compounds that inhibit bacterial DnaG primase have been developed using different approaches. In this paper, we provide an overview of the current literature on DNA primases as novel drug targets and the methods used to find their inhibitors. Although few inhibitors have been identified, there are still challenges to develop inhibitors that can efficiently halt DNA replication and may be applied in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Isolation of marine compounds from living invertebrates represents a major challenge for sustainable and environmentally friendly exploitation of marine bio-resources. To develop innovative technology to trap invertebrate compounds in the open sea, the proof of concept of a system combining external continuous circulation of water with XAD-amberlite solid-phase extraction was validated in an aquarium. In this work, we reported the elicitation of guanidine alkaloid production of Crambe crambe in the presence of Anemonia sulcata, both collected from the Mediterranean Sea. Besides the previously reported crambescidin 359 (1), and crambescidin acid (2), three new compounds were isolated; one carboxylated analog of 1 named crambescidin 401 (3), and two analogs of crambescin B, crambescin B 281 (4) and crambescin B 253 (5). Based on these results, a technology named Somartex® for “Self Operating MARine Trapping Extractor” was patented and built to transfer the concept from closed aquarium systems to open marine ecosystems.

Abstract
The first total syntheses of two natural antitumor enehydrazide compounds (hydrazidomycins A and B) and a related positional isomer of hydrazidomycin B (elaiomycin B) have been accomplished in a rapid and stereocontrolled fashion using a Peterson elimination approach. A regioselective silyl epoxide ring opening reaction with Boc-carbazate followed by base-mediated Peterson siloxide elimination stereospecifically installed the key Z-enehydrazide functionality. The use of Boc-carbazate allowed for the differential functionalization of the hydrazide nitrogens.
