Abstract
Aclacinomycin A (ACM-A) is an anthracycline antitumor agent widely used in clinical practice. The current industrial production of ACM-A relies primarily on chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation. However, chemical synthesis involves multiple reactions which give rise to high production costs and environmental pollution. Microbial fermentation is a sustainable strategy, yet the current fermentation yield is too low to satisfy market demand. Hence, strain improvement is highly desirable, and tremendous endeavors have been made to decipher biosynthesis pathways and modify key enzymes. In this review, we comprehensively describe the reported biosynthesis pathways, key enzymes, and, especially, catalytic mechanisms. In addition, we come up with strategies to uncover unknown enzymes and improve the activities of rate-limiting enzymes. Overall, this review aims to provide valuable insights for complete biosynthesis of ACM-A.

Abstract
Covering: 2016 to 2022RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the central enzyme in bacterial gene expression representing an attractive and validated target for antibiotics. Two well-known and clinically approved classes of natural product RNAP inhibitors are the rifamycins and the fidaxomycins. Rifampicin (Rif), a semi-synthetic derivative of rifamycin, plays a crucial role as a first line antibiotic in the treatment of tuberculosis and a broad range of bacterial infections. However, more and more pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis develop resistance, not only against Rif and other RNAP inhibitors. To overcome this problem, novel RNAP inhibitors exhibiting different target sites are urgently needed. This review includes recent developments published between 2016 and today. Particular focus is placed on novel findings concerning already known bacterial RNAP inhibitors, the characterization and development of new compounds isolated from bacteria and fungi, and providing brief insights into promising new synthetic compounds.

Abstract
Nocamycins I and II, featured with a tetramic acid scaffold, were isolated from the broth of Saccharothrix syringae NRRL B-16468. The biosynthesis of nocamycin I require an intermediate bearing a hydroxyl group at the C-10 position. A short chain dehydrogenase/reductase NcmD was proposed to catalyze the conversion of the hydroxyl group to ketone at the C-10 position. By using the λ-RED recombination technology, we generated the NcmD deletion mutant strain S. syringae MoS-1005, which produced a new intermediate nocamycin F with a hydroxyl group at C-10 position. We then overexpressed NcmD in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified the His6-tagged protein NcmD to homogeneity and conducted in vitro enzymatic assays. NcmD showed preference to the cofactor NAD+, and it effectively catalyzed the conversion from nocamyin F to nocamycin G, harboring a ketone group at C-10 position. However, NcmD showed no catalytic activity toward nocamyin II. NcmD achieved maximum catalytic activity at 45°C and pH 8.5. The kinetics of NcmD toward nocamycin F was investigated at 45°C, pH 8.5 in the presence of 2 mM NAD+. The Km and kcat values were 131 ± 13 μM and 65 ± 5 min−1, respectively. In this study, we have characterized NcmD as a dehydrogenase, which is involved in forming the ketone group at the C-10 position of nocamycin F. The results provide new insights to the nocamycin biosynthetic pathway.

Abstract
Tetramic acid (pyrrolidine-2,4-dione) compounds, isolated from a variety of marine and terrestrial organisms, have attracted considerable attention for their diverse, challenging structural complexity and promising bioactivities. In the past decade, marine-derived microorganisms have become great repositories of novel tetramic acids. Here, we discuss the biological activities of 277 tetramic acids of eight classifications (simple 3-acyl tetramic acids, 3-oligoenoyltetramic acids, 3-decalinoyltetramic acid, 3-spirotetramic acids, macrocyclic tetramic acids, N-acylated tetramic acids, α-cyclopiazonic acid-type tetramic acids, and other tetramic acids) from marine-derived microbes, including fungi, actinobacteria, bacteria, and cyanobacteria, as reported in 195 research studies up to 2019.

Abstract
In the present study, an Escherichia coli whole cell system with overexpression of a cytochrome P450 oxidase SlgO1 involved in streptolydigin biosynthetic pathway, an E. coli flavodoxin NADP+ oxidoreductase (EcFLDR), and an E. coli flavodoxin A (EcFLDA) were constructed. Biotransformation experiments revealed that SlgO1 can convert tirandamycin C to tirandamycin F, indicating that it can introduce a hydroxyl group into the C-10 position of tirandamycin C. Subsequently, slgO1 was cloned into pSET152AKE vector under the downstream of ermE* promoter, which was, respectively, introduced into Streptomyces sp. SCSIO1666 (tirandamycin B producer), Streptomyces sp. Ju1008 (tirandamycin C producer), and Streptomyces sp. Ju1009 (tirandamycin E producer). A novel tirandamycin derivative tirandamycin L accumulated in the engineered strain Streptomyces sp. Ju1008::slgO1 was isolated and its structure was determined on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry. Unlike most of the identified tirandamycins, tirandamycin L possessed a rare C-11-C-12 saturated bond as well as a C-10 ketone moiety. In addition, tirandamycin L showed weaker antibacterial activity. Based on the structure of tirandamycin L, SlgO1 was proposed to be responsible for multiple modifications toward tirandamycin C, including the formation of C-10 hydroxyl and C-11-C-12 saturated bond.

Abstract
The C7 (C9 or C10)- O-l-rhodosamine-bearing anthracycline antibiotic cytorhodins and their biosynthetic intermediates were recently isolated from Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 1666. Cosmid p17C4 from the Streptomyces lydicus genomic library, which harbors both the biosynthetic genes for l-rhodinose (or 2-deoxy-l-fucose) and its glycosyltransferase (encoded by slgG), was introduced into SCSIO 1666 to yield the recombinant strain Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 1666/17C4. Chemical investigations of this strain's secondary metabolic potential revealed the production of different anthracyclines featuring C7- O-l-rhodinose (or 2-deoxy-l-fucose) instead of the typically observed l-rhodosamine. Purification of the fermentation broth yielded 12 new anthracycline antibiotics including three new ε-rhodomycinone derivatives, 1, 4, and 8, nine new β-rhodomycinone derivatives, 2, 3, 5-7, and 9-12, and three known compounds, l-rhodinose-l-rhodinose-l-rhodinoserhodomycinone (13), ε-rhodomycinone (14), and γ-rhodomycinone (15). All compounds were characterized on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses and comparisons with previously reported data. These compounds exhibited cytotoxicity against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Significantly, compounds 4 and 13 displayed pronounced activity against HCT-116 as characterized by IC50 values of 0.3 and 0.2 μM, respectively; these IC50 values are comparable to that of the positive control epirubicin.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of antibiotics in bacteria is usually believed to be an intracellular process, at the end of which the matured compounds are exported outside the cells. The biosynthesis of saframycin A (SFM-A), an antitumor antibiotic, requires a cryptic fatty acyl chain to guide the construction of a pentacyclic tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold; however, the follow-up deacylation and deamination steps remain unknown. Herein we demonstrate that SfmE, a membrane-bound peptidase, hydrolyzes the fatty acyl chain to release the amino group; and SfmCy2, a secreted oxidoreductase covalently associated with FAD, subsequently performs an oxidative deamination extracellularly. These results not only fill in the missing steps of SFM-A biosynthesis, but also reveal that a FAD-binding oxidoreductase catalyzes an unexpected deamination reaction through an unconventional extracellular pathway in Streptmyces bacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocamycins I and II, produced by the rare actinomycete Saccharothrix syringae, belong to the tetramic acid family natural products. Nocamycins show potent antimicrobial activity and they hold great potential for antibacterial agent design. However, up to now, little is known about the exact biosynthetic mechanism of nocamycin. RESULTS In this report, we identified the gene cluster responsible for nocamycin biosynthesis from S. syringae and generated new nocamycin derivatives by manipulating its gene cluster. The biosynthetic gene cluster for nocamycin contains a 61 kb DNA locus, consisting of 21 open reading frames (ORFs). Five type I polyketide synthases (NcmAI, NcmAII, NcmAIII, NcmAIV, NcmAV) and a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NcmB) are proposed to be involved in synthesis of the backbone structure, a Dieckmann cyclase NcmC catalyze the releasing of linear chain and the formation of tetramic acid moiety, five enzymes (NcmEDGOP) are related to post-tailoring steps, and five enzymes (NcmNJKIM) function as regulators. Targeted inactivation of ncmB led to nocamycin production being completely abolished, which demonstrates that this gene cluster is involved in nocamycin biosynthesis. To generate new nocamycin derivatives, the gene ncmG, encoding for a cytochrome P450 oxidase, was inactivated. Two new nocamycin derivatives nocamycin III and nocamycin IV were isolated from the ncmG deletion mutant strain and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. Based on bioinformatics analysis and new derivatives isolated from gene inactivation mutant strains, a biosynthetic pathway of nocamycins was proposed. CONCLUSION These findings provide the basis for further understanding of nocamycin biosynthetic mechanism, and set the stage to rationally engineer new nocamycin derivatives via combinatorial biosynthesis strategy.

Abstract
Tirandamycin K (7), the first linear 7,13;9,13-diseco-tirandamycin derivative, was isolated from the tamI (encoding the TamI P450 monooxygenase) disruption mutant strain (ΔtamI) of marine Streptomyces sp. 307-9. Its chemical structure with relative and absolute configurations was elucidated by a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses and biosynthetic inferences. Structural elucidation of this unusual compound provides new insights into tirandamycin biosynthesis. Moreover, examination of the biological activity of 7 confirms the essential function of the bicyclic ketal ring for antibiotic activities of tirandamycins.

Abstract
Biochemical and structural investigations into the flavoenzyme CrmK reveal a substrate recycling/salvaging mechanism in caerulomycin biosynthesis.
Substrate salvage or recycling is common and important for primary metabolism in cells but is rare in secondary metabolism. Herein we report flavoenzyme CrmK-mediated shunt product recycling in the biosynthesis of caerulomycin A (CRM A 1), a 2,2′-bipyridine-containing natural product that is under development as a potent novel immunosuppressive agent. We demonstrated that the alcohol oxidase CrmK, belonging to the family of bicovalent FAD-binding flavoproteins, catalyzed the conversion of an alcohol into a carboxylate via an aldehyde. The CrmK-mediated reactions were not en route to 1 biosynthesis but played an unexpectedly important role by recycling shunt products back to the main pathway of 1. Crystal structures and site-directed mutagenesis studies uncovered key residues for FAD-binding, substrate binding and catalytic activities, enabling the proposal for the CrmK catalytic mechanism. This study provides the first biochemical and structural evidence for flavoenzyme-mediated substrate recycling in secondary metabolism.

Oxidation of Monolignols by Members of the Berberine Bridge Enzyme Family Suggests a Role in Plant Cell Wall Metabolism. J Biol Chem 2015; 290:18770-81.

Abstract
Plant genomes contain a large number of genes encoding for berberine bridge enzyme (BBE)-like enzymes. Despite the widespread occurrence and abundance of this protein family in the plant kingdom, the biochemical function remains largely unexplored. In this study, we have expressed two members of the BBE-like enzyme family from Arabidopsis thaliana in the host organism Komagataella pastoris. The two proteins, termed AtBBE-like 13 and AtBBE-like 15, were purified, and their catalytic properties were determined. In addition, AtBBE-like 15 was crystallized and structurally characterized by x-ray crystallography. Here, we show that the enzymes catalyze the oxidation of aromatic allylic alcohols, such as coumaryl, sinapyl, and coniferyl alcohol, to the corresponding aldehydes and that AtBBE-like 15 adopts the same fold as vanillyl alcohol oxidase as reported previously for berberine bridge enzyme and other FAD-dependent oxidoreductases. Further analysis of the substrate range identified coniferin, the glycosylated storage form of coniferyl alcohol, as a substrate of the enzymes, whereas other glycosylated monolignols were rather poor substrates. A detailed analysis of the motifs present in the active sites of the BBE-like enzymes in A. thaliana suggested that 14 out of 28 members of the family might catalyze similar reactions. Based on these findings, we propose a novel role of BBE-like enzymes in monolignol metabolism that was previously not recognized for this enzyme family.

Abstract
Aspergillines A-E (1-5) are highly oxygenated cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-derived alkaloids bearing a rigid and sterically congested hexacyclic indole-tetrahydrofuran-tetramate scaffold, isolated from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus vesicolor. Apergillines A-C represent a new subclass of CPA-derived alkaloids, and aspergillines B and E possess a butanoic acid methyl ester moiety. The structures, including absolute configuration, were elucidated by interpretation of the NMR, X-ray crystallographic, and circular dichroism data. All compounds displayed anti-TMV and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
We have recently isolated tirandamycin (TAM) B from Streptomyces sp. 17944 as a Brugia malayi AsnRS (BmAsnRS) inhibitor that efficiently kills the adult B. malayi parasites and does not exhibit general cytotoxicity to human hepatic cells. We now report (i) the comparison of metabolite profiles of S. sp. 17944 in six different media, (ii) identification of a medium enabling the production of TAM B as essentially the sole metabolite, and with improved titer, and (iii) isolation and structural elucidation of three new TAM congeners. These findings shed new insights into the structure-activity relationship of TAM B as a BmAsnRS inhibitor, highlighting the δ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-epoxyketone moiety as the critical pharmacophore, and should greatly facilitate the production and isolation of sufficient quantities of TAM B for further mechanistic and preclinical studies to advance the candidacy of TAM B as an antifilarial drug lead. The current study also serves as an excellent reminder that traditional medium and fermentation optimization should continue to be very effective in improving metabolite flux and titer.

Abstract
![]()
Berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) is a paradigm for the class
of bicovalently
flavinylated oxidases, which catalyzes the oxidative cyclization of
(S)-reticuline to (S)-scoulerine.
His174 was identified as an important active site residue because
of its role in the stabilization of the reduced state of the flavin
cofactor. It is also strictly conserved in the family of BBE-like
oxidases. Here, we present a detailed biochemical and structural characterization
of a His174Ala variant supporting its importance during catalysis
and for the structural organization of the active site. Substantial
changes in all kinetic parameters and a decrease in midpoint potential
were observed for the BBE His174Ala variant protein. Moreover, the
crystal structure of the BBE His174Ala variant showed significant
structural rearrangements compared to wild-type enzyme. On the basis
of our findings, we propose that His174 is part of a hydrogen bonding
network that stabilizes the negative charge at the N1–C2=O
locus via interaction with the hydroxyl group at C2′ of the
ribityl side chain of the flavin cofactor. Hence, replacement of this
residue with alanine reduces the stabilizing effect for the transiently
formed negative charge and results in drastically decreased kinetic
parameters as well as a lower midpoint redox potential.
