Abstract
Hemiactinomycin (1), an intermediate derivative of actinomycin biosynthesis, together with three known actinomycins (2-4) , were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Streptomyces antibioticus H41-55 fermentation mycelium by using various column chromatography. The structure of the derivative was established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the anti-inflammatory activities of all the isolates were tested. The derivative (1) showed inhibiting NO release activities in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages with the IC50 values of 15.41 ± 0.66 μM.

Abstract
Streptomycetes are major producers of bioactive natural products, including the majority of the naturally produced antibiotics. While much of the low-hanging fruit has been discovered, it is predicted that less than 5% of the chemical space of natural products has been mined. Here, we describe the discovery of the novel actinomycins L1 and L2 produced by Streptomyces sp. MBT27, via application of metabolic analysis and molecular networking. Actinomycins L1 and L2 are diastereomers, and the structure of actinomycin L2 was resolved using NMR and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Actinomycin L is formed via spirolinkage of anthranilamide to the 4-oxoproline moiety of actinomycin X2, prior to the condensation of the actinomycin halves. Such a structural feature has not previously been identified in naturally occurring actinomycins. Adding anthranilamide to cultures of the actinomycin X2 producer Streptomyces antibioticus, which has the same biosynthetic gene cluster as Streptomyces sp. MBT27, resulted in the production of actinomycin L. This supports a biosynthetic pathway whereby actinomycin L is produced from two distinct metabolic routes, namely those for actinomycin X2 and for anthranilamide. Actinomycins L1 and L2 showed significant antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Our work shows how new molecules can still be identified even in the oldest of natural product families.

MolNetEnhancer: Enhanced Molecular Networks by Integrating Metabolome Mining and Annotation Tools. Metabolites 2019; 9:metabo9070144.

Abstract
Metabolomics has started to embrace computational approaches for chemical interpretation of large data sets. Yet, metabolite annotation remains a key challenge. Recently, molecular networking and MS2LDA emerged as molecular mining tools that find molecular families and substructures in mass spectrometry fragmentation data. Moreover, in silico annotation tools obtain and rank candidate molecules for fragmentation spectra. Ideally, all structural information obtained and inferred from these computational tools could be combined to increase the resulting chemical insight one can obtain from a data set. However, integration is currently hampered as each tool has its own output format and efficient matching of data across these tools is lacking. Here, we introduce MolNetEnhancer, a workflow that combines the outputs from molecular networking, MS2LDA, in silico annotation tools (such as Network Annotation Propagation or DEREPLICATOR), and the automated chemical classification through ClassyFire to provide a more comprehensive chemical overview of metabolomics data whilst at the same time illuminating structural details for each fragmentation spectrum. We present examples from four plant and bacterial case studies and show how MolNetEnhancer enables the chemical annotation, visualization, and discovery of the subtle substructural diversity within molecular families. We conclude that MolNetEnhancer is a useful tool that greatly assists the metabolomics researcher in deciphering the metabolome through combination of multiple independent in silico pipelines.

Abstract
X-type actinomycins (Acms) contain 4-hydroxyproline (Acm X0 ) or 4-oxoproline (Acm X2 ) in their β-pentapeptide lactone rings, whereas their α ring contains proline. We demonstrate that these Acms are formed through asymmetric condensation of Acm half molecules (Acm halves) containing proline with 4-hydroxyproline- or 4-oxoproline-containing Acm halves. In turn, we show-using an artificial Acm half analogue (PPL 1) with proline in its peptide chain-their conversion into the 4-hydroxyproline- and 4-oxoproline-containing Acm halves, PPL 0 and PPL 2, in mycelial suspensions of Streptomyces antibioticus. Two responsible genes of the Acm X biosynthetic gene cluster of S. antibioticus, saacmM and saacmN, encoding a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (Cyp) and a ferredoxin were identified. After coexpression in Escherichia coli, their gene products converted PPL 1 into PPL 0 and PPL 2 in vivo as well as in situ in permeabilized cell of the transformed E. coli strain in conjunction with the host-encoded ferredoxin reductase in a NADH (NADPH)-dependent manner. saAcmM has high sequence similarity to the Cyp107Z (Ema) family of Cyps, which can convert avermectin B1 into its keto derivative, 4''-oxoavermectin B1. Determination of the structure of saAcmM reveals high similarity to the Ema structure but with significant differences in residues decorating their active sites, which defines saAcmM and its orthologues as a distinct new family of peptidylprolineketonizing Cyp.

Abstract
An extensive study of actinomycins was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Actinomycins represent a well-known family of peptidolactone chromopeptides with potent cytostatic and antibiotic properties. Using five well-characterized streptomycete strains, we introduced MALDI-TOF MS as an efficient technique for rapid in situ detection of actinomycins in surface extracts of cells picked from agar plates. By this procedure, actinomycin complexes can be investigated with high sensitivity and accuracy in a minimum of time. These studies were complemented by mass spectrometric investigation of actinomycins obtained from culture filtrate extracts and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography to detect yet unknown actinomycin species. By feeding experiments, C-demethyl-actinomycins from Streptomyces chrysomallus and Streptomyces parvulus as well as hemi-actinomycins from Streptomyces antibioticus lacking one of the two pentapeptide lactone rings were isolated and characterized as novel variants for structure-activity relationship studies. Structural characterization of the investigated actinomycins was performed by post source decay MALDI-TOF MS. The specific features of the fragmentation patterns of the protonated and cationized forms of selected actinomycins were investigated in detail.
