J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:jof9030347. [PMID: 36983515 PMCID: PMC10057145 DOI: 10.3390/jof9030347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Phytopathogens, such as phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi, and nematodes, have caused great losses of crops every year, seriously threatening human health and agricultural production. Moreover, marine-derived fungi are abundant sources of structurally unique and bioactive secondary metabolites that could be potential candidates for anti-phytopathogenic drugs. One new sulfoxide-containing bisabolane sesquiterpenoid aspersydosulfoxide A (1) and nine known analogues (2–10) were isolated from the marine-derived A. sydowii LW09. The absolute configuration of the sulfur stereogenic center in 1 was determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compound 5 showed inhibition activity against Pseudomonas syringae, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 32 μg/mL, whereas, compounds 2, 7, and 8 showed antibacterial activities toward Ralstonia solanacarum, with the same MIC value at 32 μg/mL. Meanwhile, compounds 3, 7, and 8 inhibited the fungal spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum, with the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 54.55, 77.16, and 1.85 μg/mL, respectively, while compounds 2, 3, 7, and 8 inhibited the fungal spore germination of Alternaria alternata, which could be induced by vacuolization of germ tubes, with EC50 values of 34.04, 44.44, 26.02, and 46.15 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, compounds 3, 7, and 8 exhibited nematicidal activities against Meloidogyne incognita second-stage juveniles (J2s). In addition, compound 8 possessed the strongest nematicidal activity of nearly 80% mortality at 60 h with the half lethal concentration (LC50) values of 192.40 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 3, 7, and 8 could paralyze the nematodes and then impair their pathogenicity.

Front Microbiol 2022; 13:819086. [PMID: 35602042 PMCID: PMC9116485 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.819086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Fungal polyketides (PKs) are one of the largest families of structurally diverse bioactive natural products biosynthesized by multidomain megasynthases, in which thioesterase (TE) domains act as nonequivalent decision gates determining both the shape and the yield of the polyketide intermediate. The endophytic fungus Preussia isomera XL-1326 was discovered to have an excellent capacity for secreting diverse bioactive PKs, i.e., the hot enantiomers (±)-preuisolactone A with antibacterial activity, the single-spiro minimoidione B with α-glucosidase inhibition activity, and the uncommon heptaketide setosol with antifungal activity, which drive us to illustrate how the unique PKs are biosynthesized. In this study, we first reported the genome sequence information of P. isomera. Based on genome mining, we discovered nine transcriptionally active genes encoding polyketide synthases (PKSs), Preu1–Preu9, of which those of Preu3, Preu4, and Preu6 were cloned and functionally characterized due to possessing complete sets of synthetic and release domains. Through heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Preu3 and Preu6 could release high yields of orsellinic acid (OA) derivatives [3-methylorsellinic acid (3-MOA) and lecanoric acid, respectively]. Correspondingly, we found that Preu3 and Preu6 were clustered into OA derivative synthase groups by phylogenetic analysis. Next, with TE domain swapping, we constructed a novel “non-native” PKS, Preu6-TEPreu3, which shared a very low identity with OA synthase, OrsA, from Aspergillus nidulans but could produce a large amount of OA. In addition, with the use of Preu6-TEPreu3, we synthesized methyl 3-methylorsellinate (synthetic oak moss of great economic value) from 3-MOA as the substrate, and interestingly, 3-MOA exhibited remarkable antibacterial activities, while methyl 3-methylorsellinate displayed broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Taken together, we identified two novel PKSs to biosynthesize 3-MOA and lecanoric acid, respectively, with information on such kinds of PKSs rarely reported, and constructed one novel “non-native” PKS to largely biosynthesize OA. This work is our first step to explore the biosynthesis of the PKs in P. isomera, and it also provides a new platform for high-level environment-friendly production of OA derivatives and the development of new antimicrobial agents.
