Abstract
Vancomycin is a clinically important glycopeptide antibiotic against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In the mutant strain of Amycolatopsis keratiniphila HCCB10007 Δeco-cds4-27, the production of ECO-0501 was disrupted, but enhanced vancomycin yield by 55% was observed compared with the original strain of A. keratiniphila HCCB10007. To gain insights into the mechanism of the enhanced production of vancomycin in the mutant strain, comparative metabolomics analyses were performed between the mutant strain and the original strain, A. keratiniphila HCCB10007 via GC-TOF-MS and UPLC-HRMS. The results of PCA and OPLS-DA revealed a significant distinction of the intracellular metabolites between the two strains during the fermentation process. 64 intracellular metabolites, which involved in amino acids, fatty acids and central carbon metabolism, were identified as differential metabolites. The high-yield mutant strain maintained high levels of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate and they declined with the increases of vancomycin production. Particularly, a strong association of fatty acids accumulation as well as 3,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and non-proteinogenic amino acid 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (Dpg) with enhancement of vancomycin production was observed in the high-yield mutant strain, indicating that the consumption of fatty acid pools might be beneficial for giving rise to 3,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Dpg which further lead to improve vancomycin production. In addition, the lower levels of glyoxylic acid and lactic acid and the higher levels of sulfur amino acids might be beneficial for improving vancomycin production. These findings proposed more advanced elucidation of metabolomic characteristics in the high-yield strain for vancomycin production and could provide potential strategies to enhance the vancomycin production.

Abstract
The natural soil environment of Streptomyces is characterized by variations in the availability of nitrogen, carbon, phosphate and sulfur, leading to complex primary and secondary metabolisms. Their remarkable ability to adapt to fluctuating nutrient conditions is possible through the utilization of a large amount of substrates by diverse intracellular and extracellular enzymes. Thus, Streptomyces fulfill an important ecological role in soil environments, metabolizing the remains of other organisms. In order to survive under changing conditions in their natural habitats, they have the possibility to fall back on specialized enzymes to utilize diverse nutrients and supply compounds from primary metabolism as precursors for secondary metabolite production. We aimed to summarize the knowledge on the C-, N-, P- and S-metabolisms in the genus Streptomyces as a source of building blocks for the production of antibiotics and other relevant compounds.

Abstract
Sideromycins are a unique subset of siderophores comprising of a siderophore conjugated to an antimicrobial agent. The "Trojan horse" antibiotic albomycins are unique sideromycins consisting of a ferrichrome-type siderophore conjugated to a peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic. They exhibit potent antibacterial activities against many model bacteria and a number of clinical pathogens. Earlier studies have provided significant insight into the biosynthetic pathway of the peptidyl nucleoside moiety. We herein decipher the biosynthetic pathway of the ferrichrome-type siderophore in Streptomyces sp. ATCC 700974. Our genetic studies suggested that abmA, abmB, and abmQ are involved in the formation of the ferrichrome-type siderophore. Additionally, we performed biochemical studies to demonstrate that a flavin-dependent monooxygenase AbmB and an N-acyltransferase AbmA catalyze sequential modifications of L-ornithine to generate N5-acetyl-N5-hydroxyornithine. Three molecules of N5-acetyl-N5-hydroxyornithine are then assembled to generate the tripeptide ferrichrome through the action of a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase AbmQ. Of special note, we found out that orf05026 and orf03299, two genes scattered elsewhere in the chromosome of Streptomyces sp. ATCC 700974, have functional redundancy for abmA and abmB, respectively. Interestingly, both orf05026 and orf03299 are situated within gene clusters encoding putative siderophores. In summary, this study provided new insight into the siderophore moiety of albomycin biosynthesis, and shed light on the contingency of multiple siderophores in albomycin-producing Streptomyces sp. ATCC 700974.

Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze aminoacylation of tRNAs to produce aminoacyl-tRNAs for protein synthesis. Bacterial aaRSs have distinctive features, play an essential role in channeling amino acids into biomolecular assembly, and are vulnerable to inhibition by small molecules. The aaRSs continue to be targets for potential antibacterial drug development. The first step of aaRS reaction is the activation of amino acid by hydrolyzing ATP to form an acyladenylate intermediate with the concomitant release of pyrophosphate. None-radioactive assays usually measure the rate of ATP consumption or phosphate generation, offering advantages in high-throughput drug screening. These simple aaRS enzyme assays can be adapted to study the mode of inhibition of natural or synthetic aaRS inhibitors. Taking phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as an example, we describe a process for identification and characterization of Mtb PheRS inhibitor.

Abstract
Indolmycin (IND) is a microbial natural product that selectively inhibits bacterial tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS). The tryptophan biosynthesis pathway was recently shown to be an important target for developing new antibacterial agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We investigated the antibacterial activity of IND against several mycobacterial model strains. A TrpRS biochemical assay was developed to analyze a library of synthetic IND analogues. The 4″-methylated IND compound, Y-13, showed improved anti-Mtb activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.88 μM (∼0.5 μg/mL). The MIC increased significantly when overexpression of TrpRS was induced in the genetically engineered surrogate M. bovis BCG. The cocrystal structure of Mtb TrpRS complexed with IND and ATP has revealed that the amino acid pocket is in a state between the open form of apo protein and the closed complex with the reaction intermediate. In whole-cell-based experiments, we studied the combination effect of Y-13 paired with different antibacterial agents. We evaluated the killing kinetics, the frequency of resistance to INDs, and the mode of resistance of IND-resistant mycobacteria by genome sequencing. The synergistic interaction of Y-13 with the TrpE allosteric inhibitor, indole propionic acid, suggests that prospective IND analogues could shut down tryptophan biosynthesis and protein biosynthesis in pathogens, leading to a new class of antibiotics. Finally, we discuss a strategy to expand the genome mining of antibiotic-producing microbes specifically for antimycobacterial development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Siderophores are small-molecule iron-chelators produced by microorganisms and plants growing mostly under low iron conditions. Siderophores allow iron capture and transport through cell membranes into the cytoplasm, where iron is released for use in biological processes. These bacterial iron uptake systems can be used for antibiotic conjugation or as targets for killing pathogenic bacteria. Siderophores have been explored recently because of their potential applications in environmental and therapeutic research. They are present in Streptomyces, Grampositive bacteria that are an important source for discovering new siderophores. OBJECTIVE This review summarizes siderophore molecules produced by the genus Streptomyces emphasizing their potential as biotechnological producers and also illustrating genomic tools for discovering siderophores useful for treating bacterial infections. METHODS The literature search was performed using PUBMED and MEDLINE databases with keywords siderophore, secondary metabolites, Trojan horse strategy, sideromycin and Streptomyces. The literature research focused on bibliographic databases including all siderophores identified in the genus Streptomyces. In addition, reference genomes of Streptomyces from GenBank were used to identify siderophore biosynthetic gene clusters by using the antiSMASH platform. RESULTS This review has highlighted some of the many siderophore molecules produced by Streptomyces, illustrating the diversity of their chemical structures and a wide spectrum of bioactivities against pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the possibility of using siderophores conjugated with antibiotics could be an alternative to overcome bacterial resistance to drugs and could improve their therapeutic efficacy. CONCLUSION This review confirms the importance of Streptomyces as a rich source of siderophores, and underlines their potential as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Despite of proven efficacy and well tolerability, albomycin is not used clinically due to scarcity of material. Several attempts have been made to increase the production of albomycin by chemical or biochemical methods. In the current study, we have synthesized the active moiety of albomycin δ1 and investigated its binding mode to its molecular target seryl-trna synthetase (SerRS). In addition, isoleucyl and aspartyl congeners were prepared to investigate whether the albomycin scaffold can be extrapolated to target other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) from both class I and class II aaRSs, respectively. The synthesized analogues were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the corresponding aaRSs by an in vitro aminoacylation experiment using purified enzymes. It was observed that the diastereomer having the 5'S, 6'R-configuration (nucleoside numbering) as observed in the crystal structure, exhibits excellent inhibitory activity in contrast to poor activity of its companion 5'R,6'S-diasteromer obtained as byproduct during synthesis. Moreover, the albomycin core scaffold seems well tolerated for class II aaRSs inhibition compared with class I aaRSs. To understand this bias, we studied X-ray crystal structures of SerRS in complex with the albomycin δ1 core structure 14a, and AspRS in complex with compound 16a. Structural analysis clearly showed that diastereomer selectivity is attributed to the steric restraints of the active site of SerRS and AspRS.

Abstract
The lincosamide family antibiotic lincomycin is a widely used antibacterial pharmaceutical generated by Streptomyces lincolnensis, and the high-yield strain B48 produces 2.5 g/L lincomycin, approximately 30-fold as the wild-type strain NRRL 2936. Here, the genome of S. lincolnensis B48 was completely sequenced, revealing a ~10.0 Mb single chromosome with 71.03% G + C content. Based on the genomic information, lincomycin-related primary metabolism network was constructed and the secondary metabolic potential was analyzed. In order to dissect the overproduction mechanism, a comparative genomic analysis with NRRL 2936 was performed. Three large deletions (LDI-III), one large inverted duplication (LID), one long inversion and 80 small variations (including 50 single nucleotide variations, 13 insertions and 17 deletions) were found in B48 genome. Then several crucial mutants contributing to higher production phenotype were validated. Deleting of a MarR-type regulator-encoding gene slinc377 from LDI, and the whole 24.7 kb LDII in NRRL 2936 enhanced lincomycin titer by 244% and 284%, respectively. Besides, lincomycin production of NRRL 2936 was increased to 7.7-fold when a 71 kb supercluster BGC33 from LDIII was eliminated. As for the duplication region, overexpression of the cluster situated genes lmbB2 and lmbU, as well as two novel transcriptional regulator-encoding genes (slinc191 and slinc348) elevated lincomycin titer by 77%, 75%, 114% and 702%, respectively. Furthermore, three negative correlation genes (slinc6156, slinc4481 and slinc6011) on lincomycin biosynthesis, participating in regulation were found out. And surprisingly, inactivation of RNase J-encoding gene slinc6156 and TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) domain-containing protein-encoding gene slinc4481 achieved lincomycin titer equivalent to 83% and 68% of B48, respectively, to 22.4 and 18.4-fold compared to NRRL 2936. Therefore, the comparative genomics approach combined with confirmatory experiments identified that large fragment deletion, long sequence duplication, along with several mutations of genes, especially regulator genes, are crucial for lincomycin overproduction.

Abstract
Albomycins are peptidyl thionucleoside natural products that display antimicrobial activity against clinically important pathogens. Their structures are characterized by a thioheptose with atypical stereochemistry including a d-xylofuranose ring modified with a d-amino acid moiety. Herein it is demonstrated that AbmH is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent transaldolase that catalyzes a threo-selective aldol-type reaction to generate the thioheptose core with a d-ribofuranose ring and an l-amino acid moiety. The conversion of l-to d-amino acid configuration is catalyzed by the PLP-dependent epimerase AbmD. The d- ribo to d- xylo conversion of the thiofuranose ring appears according to gene deletion experiments to be mediated by AbmJ, which is annotated as a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme. These studies establish several key steps in the assembly of the thioheptose core during the biosynthesis of albomycins.

Abstract
Development of effective antimicrobial agents continues to be a great challenge, particularly due to the increasing resistance of superbugs and frequent hospital breakouts. There is an urgent need for more potent and safer antibiotics with novel scaffolds. As historically many commercial drugs were derived from natural products, discovery of antimicrobial agents from complex natural product structures still holds a great promise. Herein, we report the total synthesis of natural albomycins δ1 (1a), δ2 (1b), and ε (1c), which validates the structures of these peptidylnucleoside compounds and allows for synthetic access to bioactive albomycin analogs. The efficient synthesis of albomycins enables extensive evaluations of these natural products against model bacteria and clinical pathogens. Albomycin δ2 has the potential to be developed into an antibacterial drug to treat Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus infections. Albomycins are promising drug candidates for the treatment of bacterial infections. Here, the authors describe the total syntheses of albomycins δ1, δ2, and ε, and evaluate their antimicrobial activity, identifying albomycin δ2 as a strong agent against S. pneumoniae and S. aureus infections.

Abstract
Sulfur plays a critical role for the development and maintenance of life on earth, which is reflected by the wealth of primary metabolites, macromolecules, and cofactors bearing this element. Whereas a large body of knowledge has existed for sulfur trafficking in primary metabolism, the secondary metabolism involving sulfur has long been neglected. Yet, diverse sulfur functionalities have a major impact on the biological activities of natural products. Recent research at the genetic, biochemical, and chemical levels has unearthed a broad range of enzymes, sulfur shuttles, and chemical mechanisms for generating carbon-sulfur bonds. This Review will give the first systematic overview on enzymes catalyzing the formation of organosulfur natural products.

Nature's combinatorial biosynthesis and recently engineered production of nucleoside antibiotics in Streptomyces. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2017; 33:66. [PMID: 28260195 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-017-2233-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2016] [Accepted: 02/22/2017] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Modified nucleosides produced by Streptomyces and related actinomycetes are widely used in agriculture and medicine as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and antiviral agents. These specialized small-molecule metabolites are biosynthesized by complex enzymatic machineries encoded within gene clusters in the genome. The past decade has witnessed a burst of reports defining the key metabolic processes involved in the biosynthesis of several distinct families of nucleoside antibiotics. Furthermore, genome sequencing of various Streptomyces species has dramatically increased over recent years. Potential biosynthetic gene clusters for novel nucleoside antibiotics are now apparent by analysis of these genomes. Here we revisit strategies for production improvement of nucleoside antibiotics that have defined mechanisms of action, and are in clinical or agricultural use. We summarize the progress for genetically manipulating biosynthetic pathways for structural diversification of nucleoside antibiotics. Microorganism-based biosynthetic examples are provided and organized under genetic principles and metabolic engineering guidelines. We show perspectives on the future of combinatorial biosynthesis, and present a working model for discovery of novel nucleoside natural products in Streptomyces.
