Abstract
Vicenistatin (1) is a 20-membered polyketide macrocyclic antibiotic with potent antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. In this study, to further explore the potential of 1 as candidates of antibacterial drug development, 4'-N-demethyl vicenistatin (2), a secondary metabolite obtained from the ∆vicG mutant strain of Monodonata labio-associated Streptomyces parvus SCSIO Mla-L010, was utilized as a starting material for modifications of 4'-amino group of vicenistatin. Six new vicenistatin derivatives (3-8) were semi-synthesized through a concise route of amino modification with various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. Our study reveals that the bioactivity of vicenistatin is closely related to amino modification in sugar moiety, which results from the length of alkyl side chain as well as the presence of electron withdrawing/denoting group on the benzene ring. Importantly, compounds 4 with a butyl group and 8 with a 3,5-dihydroxyl-benzyl group at 4'-amino group, respectively, exhibited good antimicrobial activities, with MIC values spanning 0.5-4 μg ml-1 to Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis, with low cytotoxicity. This research promotes the further exploration of structure-activity relationships of vicenistatin and provides new vicenistatin derivatives for development of future anti-infectious agents with reduced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Recently, we re-isolated the glycosylated angucycline antibiotics P-1894B (1) and grincamycin (1') from the marine-derived Streptomyces lusitanus SCSIO LR32 as potent antitumor agents and identified their biosynthesis gene cluster gcn. Both P-1894B (1) and grincamycin (1') possess a trisaccharide and a disaccharide moiety comprised of five deoxysugars. In this work, three genes encoding glycosyltransferases (GcnG1, GcnG2, and GcnG3) responsible for the assembly of deoxysugars into angucycline aglycone were identified from the biosynthesis gene cluster gcn. Gene inactivations of gcnG1, gcnG2, gcnG3, and gcnG1G2 by lambda-RED-mediated gene replacements led to the construction of four mutants, in which the glycosyltransferase genes were disrupted, respectively. The metabolites from the mutants were purified and identified, including two new analogues designated as grincamycin U (3a) and V (3'). The sequential glycosylation steps in the biosynthesis of P-1894B (1) and grincamycin (1') catalyzed by GcnG3, GcnG1, and GcnG2 were elucidated.

Abstract
The one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy is an effective method for activating silent gene clusters by cultivating microorganisms under various conditions. The whole genome sequence of the marine-derived strain Streptomyces globisporus SCSIO LCY30 revealed that it contains 30 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). By using the OSMAC strategy, three types of secondary metabolites were activated and identified, including three angucyclines, mayamycin A (1), mayamycin B (2), and rabolemycin (3); two streptophenazines (streptophenazin O (4) and M (5)); and a macrolide dimeric dinactin (6), respectively. The biosynthetic pathways of the secondary metabolites in these three families were proposed based on the gene function prediction and structural information. The bioactivity assays showed that angucycline compounds 1-3 exhibited potent antitumor activities against 11 human cancer cell lines and antibacterial activities against a series of Gram-positive bacteria. Mayamycin (1) selectively exhibited potent cytotoxicity activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines such as MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, and Bt-549, with IC50 values of 0.60-2.22 μM.

Abstract
Objectives: To find the prognostic factors related to early triple-negative breast cancer to optimize the therapeutic strategies, and explore the influence of programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1)expression in early triple-negative breast cancer on its prognosis, so as to provide support for clinical treatment decisions. Methods: Early triple-negative breast cancer patients treated at the National Cancer Center, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences during 1st June, 2009 and 31st Oct, 2015 were enrolled in this study. All the clinicopathological data of patients were collected, and the paraffin sections of the surgical specimens were stained with estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), androgen receptor, PD-L1 and other antibodies by the immunohistochemical method. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression curves were used for survival analysis of relevant clinical and pathological results and nomogram survival prediction models were established to explore the influence of relevant factors on the prognosis. Results: A total of 205 patients with triple-negative breast cancer were enrolled. Ninety patients (43.9%) were PD-L1 positive. The median follow-up time was 63 months. Thirty-seven patients were relapsed or recurrent and 16 patients were dead. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were 86.1% (95% CI: 81.4%-90.8%) and 93.6% (95% CI: 91.0%-97.6%), respectively, in the general population. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that PD-L1 expression and lymph node metastasis were correlated with DFS and OS (P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, PD-L1 expression was an independent influencing factor of DFS, with PD-L1 positive patients possessing a significant survival benefit in DFS (HR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.73). Lymph node metastasis was an independent influencing factor of OS, and OS was significantly shortened in patients with positive lymph node metastasis (HR=3.24, 95% CI: 1.15-9.17). PD-L1, lymph node metastasis, menopausal status, Ki-67 index and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen were included to establish the 1- and 3-year DFS and OS nomogram prediction models, resulting in C indices of 0.698 and 0.748, respectively. Conclusions: PD-L1 expression is a predictive biomarker of good prognostic factor in triple-negative breast cancer patients. DFS is significantly prolonged in PD-L1 positive patients and OS also shows a prolongation trend. The nomogram prognosis prediction models have reference values for adjuvant chemotherapy in this patient group.

Abstract
Depsides and depsidones have attracted attention for biosynthetic studies due to their broad biological activities and structural diversity. Previous structure‒activity relationships indicated that triple halogenated depsidones display the best anti-pathogenic activity. However, the gene cluster and the tailoring steps responsible for halogenated depsidone nornidulin (3) remain enigmatic. In this study, we disclosed the complete biosynthetic pathway of the halogenated depsidone through in vivo gene disruption, heterologous expression and in vitro biochemical experiments. We demonstrated an unusual depside skeleton biosynthesis process mediated by both highly-reducing polyketide synthase and non-reducing polyketide synthase, which is distinct from the common depside skeleton biosynthesis. This skeleton was subsequently modified by two in-cluster enzymes DepG and DepF for the ether bond formation and decarboxylation, respectively. In addition, the decarboxylase DepF exhibited substrate promiscuity for different scaffold substrates. Finally, and interestingly, we discovered a halogenase encoded remotely from the biosynthetic gene cluster, which catalyzes triple-halogenation to produce the active end product nornidulin (3). These discoveries provide new insights for further understanding the biosynthesis of depsidones and their derivatives.

Abstract
One new aromatic polyketide, prealnumycin B (1), and four known aromatic polyketides, K1115A (2), 1,6-dihydroxy-8-propylanthraquinone (DHPA, 3), phaeochromycin B (4), and (R)-7-acetyl-3,6-dihydroxy-8-propyl-3,4dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (5), were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sundarbansensis SCSIO NS01; these compounds represent four sets of aromatic polyketides differing in size and shape. A type II polyketide synthase (PKS) cluster, als, was identified by complete genome sequencing and was shown, by in vivo gene inactivation experiments in the wild-type (WT) NS01 strain and heterologous expression experiments, to encode the biosynthesis of compounds 1-5. Moreover, heterologous expression of the als cluster afforded three additional aromatic polyketides representing two different carbon skeletons, the new phaeochromycin L (6) and two known aromatic polyketides, phaeochromycins D (7) and E (8). These findings expand our knowledge of type II PKS machineries and their versatility in generating structurally diverse aromatic polyketides and highlight the power of type II PKSs in accessing new polyketides via ectopic expression in heterologous hosts.

Abstract
Three diphenyl ethers (1-3) and a cyclopentenone (4), together with seven known compounds (5-11), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine sediment-derived fungus Spiromastix sp. SCSIO F190. Compounds 3 and 4 were found to exist as a pair of atropisomers (3a, 3b) and racemates (4a, 4b), respectively. The planar structures of compounds 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of NMR and HRESIMS data sets. The absolute configurations of 2 and 3 were determined by spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, whereas the configuration of 4 was determined by spectroscopic and chiral analyses. All compounds, except for 4 and 11, displayed activities against various pathogenic bacteria. Notably, compounds 1-4, especially 1, exhibited strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, and Bacillus subtilis BS01, with MIC values ranging from 0.5 to 4 μg/mL. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship analyses of the active compounds and their analogues revealed the critical structural features correlating to the observed antimicrobial activities, herein providing insights for antimicrobial drug development.

Herein, we report a new natural product with strong antibacterial activity, sulfoxanthocillin (1), along with its decomposed product peniformamide (2), and the known compound xanthocillin X (3) from the deep-sea derived Penicillium sp. SCSIO sof101. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Compound 1 showed significant activity against series pathogens with MIC values ranging 0.06-8.0 μg mL-1. As an artificial unnatural product during the isolation process, compound 2 had lower antimicrobial activity than that of compound 1, which could be attributed to a change in structural modification from an isonitrile group in compound 1 to a formamide group in compound 2. In terms of cytotoxicity, 1 showed relatively low cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines compared with xanthocillin X (3), suggesting that the sulfate group present in 1 should be a determinant of cytotoxic activities. Overall, sulfoxanthocillin (1) merits further attention as a potential lead compound for anti-infective interventions against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Marine-derived fungi are emerging as prolific workhorses of structurally novel natural products (NPs) with diverse bioactivities. However, the limitation of available selection markers hampers the exploration of cryptic NPs. Recyclable markers are therefore valuable assets in genetic engineering programs for awaking silent SM clusters. Here, both pyrG and amdS-based recyclable marker cassettes were established and successfully applied in marine-derived fungi Aspergillus sp. SCSIO SX7S7 and Spiromastix sp. SCSIO F190, respectively. Using pyrG recyclable marker, a markerless 7S7-∆depH strain with a simplified HPLC background was built by inactivating a polyketide synthase (PKS) gene depH and looping out the pyrG recyclable marker after depH deletion. Meanwhile, an amdS recyclable marker system was also developed to help strains that are difficult to use pyrG marker. By employing the amdS marker, a backbone gene spm11 responsible for one major product of Spiromastix sp. SCSIO F190 was inactivated, and the amdS marker was excised after using, generating a relatively clean F190-∆spm11 strain for further activation of novel NPs. The collection of two different recycle markers will guarantee flexible application in marine-derived fungi with different genetic backgrounds, enabling the exploitation of novel structures in various fungi species with different genome mining strategies.

Abstract
Marine microorganisms produce a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites, which represent a significant source of novel antibiotics. Heterologous expression is a valuable tool for discovering marine microbial secondary metabolites; however, marine-derived chassis cell is very scarce. Here, we build an efficient plug-and-play marine-derived gene clusters expression platform 1.0 (MGCEP 1.0) by the systematic engineering of the deep-sea-derived Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16. For a proof of concept, four families of microbial bioactive metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), including alkaloids, aminonucleosides, nonribosomal peptides, and polyketides, were efficiently expressed in this platform. Moreover, 19 compounds, including two new angucycline antibiotics, were produced in MGCEP 1.0. Dynamic patterns of global biosynthetic gene expression in MGCEP 1.0 with or without a heterologous gene cluster were revealed at the transcriptome level. The platform MGCEP 1.0 provides new possibilities for expressing microbial secondary metabolites, especially of marine origin.

Abstract
Ilamycins E1/E2 are novel cyclic heptapeptides from Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16, which have the MIC value of 9.8 nM against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. However, the lower fermentative titer of ilamycins E1/E2 cut off further development for novel anti-TB lead drugs. In order to break the obstacle, the combinatorial strategy of medium optimization, fermentative parameters optimization, exogenous addition of metal ions, precursors, and surfactants was developed to promoted the production of ilamycins E1/E2. Addition of 1 mM ZnCl2 at 0 h, 1 g/L tyrosine at 96 h, and 2 g/L shikimic acid at 48 h increased the production of ilamycins E1/E2 from 13.51 to 762.50 ± 23.15, 721.39 ± 19.13, and 693.83 ± 16.86 mg/L, respectively. qRT-PCR results showed that the transcription levels of key genes in Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, hexose phosphate shunt pathway, and shikimic acid pathway were upregulated. In addition, the production of ilamycins E1/E2 reached 790.34 mg/L in a 5-L bioreactor by combinatorial strategy. Combinatorial strategies were used for improving ilamycins E1/E2 production in S. atratus ΔilaR and provided a sufficient basis on further clinic development.

Abstract
Four actinomycete strains isolated from the coral Acropora austera and coral sand samples from the South China Sea, were found to produce a series of halogenated compounds baring similar ultraviolet absorption based on the analysis of HPLC and LC-MS. The production titers of halogenated compounds from Streptomyces diacarni SCSIO 64983 exceeded those of other similar strains leading us to focus on SCSIO 64983. Four new thiocarbazomycins A–B (1–2), chlocarbazomycin E (3), and brocarbazomycin A (4), together with three known chlocarbazomycins A–C (5–7) containing a carbazole core were identified, and their structures were determined using a combination of spectroscopic analysis including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR. Structurally speaking, compounds 1 and 2 have the rare sulfur-containing carbazole nuclei, and 3 and 4 contain Cl and Br atoms, respectively. Although these compounds have not yet been found to have obvious biological activity, their discovery highlights the role of molecular libraries in subsequent drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
Three new actinopyrone derivatives, actinopyrones E-G (1, 3, and 4), together with three known analogues, PM050463 (2), actinopyrone D (5), and PM050511 (6), were isolated from Streptomyces sp. SCSIO ZS0520 derived from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Their structures, complete with absolute configurations, were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analyses combined with Mosher's method, ECD calculations, and bioinformatics analyses. These findings corrected the absolute configurations of previously reported actinopyrone analogues 2, 5, and 6 at C-3, C-9, and C-10. Notably, compound 6 displayed notable cytotoxicity against six human cell lines with IC50 values of 0.26-2.22 μM. A likely biosynthetic pathway and annotations of protein function are proposed on the basis of bioinformatics analyses. Genes coding for methyltransferase and glycosyltransferase tailoring chemistries needed to generate final structures were notably absent from the biosynthetic gene cluster. Taken together, these results enable further bioengineering of the actinopyrones and related congeners as potential antitumor agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) and its evolving drug resistance have exerted severe threats on the global health, hence it is still essential to develop novel anti-TB antibiotics. Ilamycin-E1/E2 is a pair of cycloheptapeptide enantiomers obtained from a marine Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16-ΔilaR mutant, and have presented significant anti-TB activities as promising drug lead compounds, but their clinical development has been hampered by low fermentation titers. MAIN METHODS AND MAJOR RESULTS By applying the statistical Plackett-Burman design (PBD) model, bacterial peptone was first screened out as the only significant but negative factor to affect the ilamycin-E1/E2 production. Subsequent single factor optimization in shaking flasks revealed that the replacement of bacterial peptone with malt extract could not only eliminate the accumulation of porphyrin-type competitive byproducts, but also improve the titer of ilamycin-E1/E2 from original 13.6±0.8 to 142.7±5.7 mg/L, about 10.5-fold increase. Next, a pH coordinated feeding strategy was adopted in 30L fermentor and obtained 169.8±2.5 mg/L ilamycin-E1/E2, but further scaled-up production in 300L fermentor only gave a titer of 131.5±7.5 mg/L due to the unsynchronization of feeding response and pH change. Consequently, a continuous pulse feeding strategy was utilized in 300L fermentor to solve the above problem and finally achieved 415.7±29.2 mg/L ilamycin-E1/E2, representing a 30.5-fold improvement. IMPLICATION Our work has provided a solid basis to acquire sufficient ilamycin-E1/E2 lead compounds and then support their potential anti-TB drug development. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Vicenistatin (1) is a potent polyketide antitumor antibiotic composed of a 20-membered macrolactam core appended to a unique aminosugar, vicenisamine. In this study, vicenistatin was isolated and its biosynthetic gene cluster identified from Monodonata labio-associated Streptomyces parvus SCSIO Mla-L010. A set of five genes, vicC, vicD, vicE, vicF, and vicG, was confirmed to be involved in the biosynthesis of the aminosugar by gene inactivations. VicG was characterized as an N-methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of the 4'-amino group in the last step of the aminosugar biosynthetic pathway; the N-demethyl intermediate 4'-N-demethylvicenistatin (2) was isolated from the ΔvicG mutant strain. In addition, vicR1 was characterized as a positive pathway-specific regulatory gene. Notably, N-demethyl compound 2 was found to exert impressive antibacterial activities, with MIC values spanning 0.06-4 μg/mL, against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Helicobacter pylori, and mycobacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis and the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Compound 2 was also found to display reduced cytotoxicities relative to vicenistatin, especially against noncancerous human cell lines.

Abstract
Insect group h chitinase is a promising target for designing non-target safe pesticides in that it is exclusively distributed in lepidopteran insects, over 80% of which are agricultural pests. In this work, lynamicin B was discovered to be an inhibitor of OfChi-h, the group h chitinase from the lepidopteran pest Ostrinia furnacalis. Lynamicin B was revealed to competitively inhibit OfChi-h with a Ki value of 8.76 μM and does not significantly inhibit other chitinases. The co-crystal structure of lynamicin B and OfChi-h revealed that the dichloroindolyl group of lynamicin B occupies an unexplored pocket below subsites +1 and +2 of the substrate-binding cleft, which is vital for its selectivity. Feeding experiments demonstrated that lynamicin B exhibited high insecticidal activities against other lepidopteran pests Mythimna separata and Spodoptera frugiperda besides O. furnacalis. Moreover, lynamicin B did not affect Trichogramma ostriniae, a natural enemy of O. furnacalis. This study provides a natural-derived potent pesticide for the control of lepidopteran pests, leaving its natural enemy unaffected.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still a global disease threatening people’s lives. With the emergence of multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis the prevention and control of tuberculosis faces new challenges, and the burden of tuberculosis treatment is increasing among the world. Ilamycins are novel cyclopeptides with potent anti-TB activities, which have a unique target protein against M. tuberculosis and drug-resistant strains. Herein, ilamycin F, a major secondary metabolite isolated from the marine-derived mutant strain Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16 ΔilaR, is used as a scaffold to semi-synthesize eighteen new ilamycin derivatives (ilamycin NJL1–NJL18, 1–18). Our study reveals that four of ilamycin NJLs (1, 6, 8, and 10) have slightly stronger anti-TB activities against Mtb H37Rv (minimum inhibitory concentration, 1.6–1.7 μM) compared with that of ilamycin F on day 14th, but obviously display more potent activities than ilamycin F on day 3rd, indicating anti-TB activities of these derivatives with fast-onset effect. In addition, cytotoxic assays show most ilamycin NJLs with low cytotoxicity except ilamycin NJL1 (1). These findings will promote the further exploration of structure-activity relationships for ilamycins and the development of anti-TB drugs.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin (GN) chemotherapy for metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer patients. Methods: Forty-five patients with HER-2 negative recurrent metastatic breast cancer who had received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy with anthracycline and/or taxanes were enrolled. All the patients received GN regime from January 2014 to February 2019. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1. The adverse response was evaluated and monitored according to common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors were also analyzed. Results: All of the 45 patients received 4 course GN, 1 of them achieved complete response, 21 achieved partial response. The objective response rate was 48.9 (95% CI: 33.7%-64.1%). Grade 3-4 hematological toxicities include leukopenia occurred in 10 (22.2%) of patients, neutropenia in 13 (28.9%) patients, and thrombocytopenia in 8 (17.6%) patients. The grade 3-4 hematological toxicities mainly manifested as nausea and vomiting, and the incidence was 4.4% (2/45). Among the 45 patients, 34 died, the median PFS was 5.1 (95% CI: 3.9-6.1) months and the median OS was 17.6 (95% CI: 13.1-20.9) months. Conclusion: The combination of gemcitabine and nedaplatin is an effective and tolerable treatment for metastatic breast cancer patients previously treated with anthracyclines and/or taxanes.

Abstract
A genome-directed discovery strategy to identify new tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) was applied to deep-sea derived Streptomyces niveus SCSIO 3406; 11 THIQs were found representing three THIQ classes. Known aclidinomycins A (1) and B (2) were isolated along with nine new compounds, aclidinomycins C-K (3-11). The structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The core skeleton of compounds 6-9 contains a fused tetrahydropyran (THP) as an integral part of a distinct type of 6/6/6/6/5/5 polycyclic motif. This is the first report of such a system. Beyond their discovery, we also report here a proposed biosynthetic route to these interesting natural products as well as a preliminary survey of their antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
We have previously shown deep-sea-derived Streptomyces koyangensis SCSIO 5802 to produce two types of active secondary metabolites, abyssomicins and candicidins. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of S. koyangensis SCSIO 5802 employing bioinformatics to highlight its potential to produce at least 21 categories of natural products. In order to mine novel natural products, the production of two polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs), the known 10-epi-HSAF (1) and a new compound, koyanamide A (2), was stimulated via inactivation of the abyssomicin and candicidin biosynthetic machineries. Detailed bioinformatics analyses revealed a PKS/NRPS gene cluster, containing 6 open reading frames (ORFs) and spanning ~16 kb of contiguous genomic DNA, as the putative PTM biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) (termed herein sko). We furthermore demonstrate, via gene disruption experiments, that the sko cluster encodes the biosynthesis of 10-epi-HSAF and koyanamide A. Finally, we propose a plausible biosynthetic pathway to 10-epi-HSAF and koyanamide A. In total, this study demonstrates an effective approach to cryptic BGC activation enabling the discovery of new bioactive metabolites; genome mining and metabolic profiling methods play key roles in this strategy.

Abstract
Desotamides A, a cyclohexapeptide produced by the deep-sea-derived Streptomyces scopuliridis SCSIO ZJ46, displays notable antibacterial activities against strains of Streptococcus pnuemoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). In this study, to further explore its antibacterial potential and reveal the antibacterial structure-activity relationship of desotamides, 13 cyclopeptides including 10 new synthetic desotamide A analogues and wollamides B/B1/B2 were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against a panel of Gram-positive and -negative pathogens. The bioactivity data reveal that residues at position II and VI greatly impact antibacterial activity. The most potent antibacterial analogues are desotamide A4 (13) and A6 (15) where l-allo-Ile at position II was substituted with l-Ile and Gly at position VI was simultaneously replaced by d-Lys or d-Arg; desotamides A4 (13) and A6 (15) showed a 2–4-fold increase of antibacterial activities against a series of Gram-positive pathogens including the prevalent clinical drug-resistant pathogen methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with MIC values of 8–32 μg/mL compared to the original desotamide A. The enhanced antibacterial activity, broad antibacterial spectrum of desotamides A4 and A6 highlighted their potential as new antibiotic leads for further development.

Abstract
Streptomyces niveus SCSIO 3406 was isolated from a sediment sample collected from South China Sea at a depth of 3536 m. Four new sesquiterpenoid naphthoquinones, marfuraquinocins A-D, and two new geranylated phenazines, i. e. phenaziterpenes A and B, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the strain. Here, we present its genome sequence, which contains 7,990,492 bp with a G+C content of 70.46% and harbors 7088 protein-encoding genes. The genome sequence analysis revealed the presence of a 28,787 bp gene cluster encoding for 24 open reading frames including 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase and monooxygenase, seven phenazine biosynthesis proteins, two prenyltransferases and a squalene-hopene cyclase. These genes are known to be necessary for the biosynthesis of both marfuraquinocins and phenaziterpenes. Outside the gene cluster (and scattered around the genome), there are seven genes belonging to the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for the biosynthesis of the essential primary metabolite, isopentenyl diphosphate, as well as six geranyl diphosphate/farnesyl diphosphate synthase genes. The strain S. niveus SCSIO 3406 showed type I PKS, type III PKS and nonribosomal peptide synthetase cluster. The sequence will provide the genetic basis for better understanding of biosynthesis mechanism of the above mentioned six compounds and for the construction of improved strain for the industrial production of antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
In the present study, four new compounds including a pair of 2-benzoyl tetrahydrofuran enantiomers, namely, (−)-1S-myrothecol (1a) and (+)-1R-myrothecol (1b), a methoxy-myrothecol racemate (2), and an azaphilone derivative, myrothin (3), were isolated along with four known compounds (4–7) from cultures of the deep-sea fungus Myrothecium sp. BZO-L062. Enantiomeric compounds 1a and 1b were separated through normal-phase chiral high-performance liquid chromatography. The absolute configurations of 1a, 1b, and 3 were assigned by ECD spectra. Among them, the new compound 1a and its enantiomer 1b exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, inhibited nitric oxide formation in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW264.7 cells, and exhibited antioxidant activity in the 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays.

Abstract
Fungal-bacterial associations are present in nature, playing important roles in ecological, evolutionary and medicinal processes. Here we report a fungus-bacterial symbiont from marine sediment. The bacterium lives inside the fungal mycelium yet is robust enough to survive independent of its host; the independently grown bacterium can infect the fungal host in vitro and continue to grow progenitively. The bacterial symbiont modulates the fungal host to biosynthesize a polyketide antimicrobial, spiromarmycin. Spiromarmycin appears to endow upon the symbiont pair a protective/defensive means of warding off competitor organisms, be they prokaryotic or eukaryotic microorganisms. Genomic analyses revealed the spiromarmycin biosynthetic machinery to be encoded, not by the bacterium, but rather the fungal host. This unique fungal-bacterial symbiotic relationship and the molecule/s resulting from it dramatically expand our knowledge of marine microbial diversity and shed important insights into endosymbionts and fungal-bacterial relationships. Shao et al. show that a bacterial symbiont drives its fungal host to biosynthesize a polyketide antimicrobial, spiromarmycin, fending off their competitors. They find that the spiromarmycin biosynthetic machinery is encoded by the fungal host. This study provides insights into the evolution of marine microbial diversity.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is chronic steatosis of the liver in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, which is related to insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidemia. Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common cause of liver disease in children, and lifestyle interventions such as diet or exercise are usually recommended as a treatment. Compared with dietary restriction that may affect growth and development, physical training has become the main form of treatment for children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This article summarizes the aspects of physical training intervention for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children.

Abstract
Diels-Alder (DA) [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions rank among the most powerful transformations in synthetic organic chemistry; biosynthetic examples, however, are few and far between. We report here a heme-binding cyclase, AbmU, that catalyzes an essential [4 + 2] cycloaddition during neoabyssomicin scaffold assembly. In vivo genetic and in vitro biochemical analyses strongly suggest that AbmU catalyzes an intramolecular and stereoselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form a spirotetronate skeleton from an acyclic substrate featuring both a terminal 1,3-diene and an exo-methylene group. Biochemical assays and X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that AbmU binds nonspecifically to a heme b cofactor and that this association does not play a catalytic role in AbmU catalysis. A detailed study of the AbmU crystal structure reveals a unique mode of substrate binding and reaction catalysis; His160 forms a H-bond with the C-1 carbonyl O-atom of the acyclic substrate, and the imidazole of the same amino acid directs the tetronate moiety of acyclic substrate toward the terminal Δ10,11, Δ12,13-diene moiety, thereby facilitating intramolecular DA chemistry. Our findings expand upon what is known about mechanistic diversities available to biosynthetic [4 + 2] cyclases and help to lay the foundation for the use of AbmU in possible industrial applications.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of glioma, and the overall survival time of patients with GBM is usually less than 14 months. Therefore, it is urgent to find new and effective medicine for GBM. Recently, marine natural products have been shown to exhibit strong inhibitory effects on cancer cells, providing a new avenue for exploring novel drugs for GBM treatment. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of the Grincamycin (GCN) B-F, newly isolated from marine-derived Streptomyces Lusitanus SCSIO LR32, on GBM cells, and evaluated the mechanism of GCN B on GBM. The results, for the first time, showed that GCN B acted as a potent inhibitor to suppress growth and invasion of two human GBM cell lines U251 and 091214 in vitro. In addition, GCN B could effectively target GSCs in GBM evidenced by attenuated formation of tumor spheres and decrease of several markers of GSCs. Furthermore, we performed gene expression microarray followed by Signal-Net analysis. The result revealed that RHOA and PI3K/AKT axis played critical roles for a GCN B-mediated inhibitory effect on GSCs. Altogether, our findings highlighted GCN B as a promising inhibitor for GSCs via targeting RHOA and PI3K/AKT.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the fertility needs and outcome of pregnancy in patients with young breast cancer in China. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional investigation was conducted on 374 young breast cancer women from Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Young patients with breast cancer were defined as patients who got initial diagnosis of breast cancer at age no more than 40 years old. We conducted a questionnaire survey and collected clinical data from medical chart. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the possible factors influencing patients' fertility intention. Results: 308 young women with breast cancer completed questionnaires, and the response rate was 82.4%. 81 patients (26.3%) had fertility needs after diagnosis. Of them, 6 cases took active measures to preserve fertility. 72 patients (23.4%) received fertility counseling during treatment. 7 patients were successfully pregnant, including four cases who delivered normally. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients under 35 years old (OR=4.81), bachelor degree or above (OR=3.26), receiving breast-conserving surgery (OR=2.15) and childless patients (OR=3.03) were more likely to have fertility needs after diagnosis of breast cancer (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The fertility needs of young breast cancer women in China are gradually increasing. Healthcare providers associated with tumor patients should actively offer corresponding fertility consultation and individualized diagnosis and therapy plans for patients with fertility needs.

Abstract
Bohemamines (BHMs) are bacterial alkaloids containing a pyrrolizidine core with two unusual methyl groups. Herein we report the activation of BHMs biosynthesis using a ribosome engineering approach. Characterization of the bhm gene cluster reveals that nonribosomal peptide synthetase BhmJ and Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase BhmK are responsible for the formation of the pyrrolizidine core, which is further methylated on C-7 by methyltransferase BhmG. The 9-methyl group of BHMs is instead originated from a nonproteinogenic amino acid (2S,5S)-5-methylproline.

Abstract
With a combined strategy of bioinformatics analysis, gene manipulation coupled with variation of growth conditions, the targeted activation of polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) in the deepsea-derived Streptomyces somaliensis SCSIO ZH66 was conducted, which afforded a new (1) PTM, named somamycin A, along with three enol-type tetramic acid tautomers (2-4, somamycins B-D) of 10-epi-hydroxymaltophilin, 10-epi-maltophilin and 10-epi-HSAF, respectively. The structures of compounds 1-4 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses together with ECD calculations. Compound 1 exhibited notable growth inhibition against plant pathogenic fungi Fusariumoxysporum MHKW and Alternariabrassicae BCHB with the MIC values of 1.6 and 3.1 μg/mL, respectively, which were more potent than those of the positive control nystatin; and compounds 3 and 4 displayed moderate antifungal activities. Moreover, compounds 1-4 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines of HCT116 and K562.

Abstract
Two new cyclodecapeptides, atratumycins B (1) and C (2), containing substituted cinnamoyl side chains were generated by converging elements of the atratumycin (3) and atrovimycin (4) biosynthetic pathways. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined on the basis of HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR data, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. Atratumycin B (1) is active against autoluminescent Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, displaying a minimum inhibitory concentration of 3.1 μg/mL (2.3 μM).

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) ranks as the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent (ranking more lethal than HIV/AIDS) over the course of the past decade. More concerning is that reports of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of TB have been dramatically increasing. It continues to become ever more clear that novel anti-TB drugs with improved efficacies and reduced toxicities are urgently needed. We report here the discovery of 12 new ilamycin analogues, ilamycins G-R (1-12), bearing various nonproteinogenic amino acids, along with ilamycins E1 (13) and F (14), from a 200 L scale culture of the marine-derived mutant actinomycete Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16 ΔilaR. Importantly, bioassays against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv revealed that all 12 new agents displayed antitubercular activities with MIC values ranging from 0.0096 to 10 μM. The structures of 1-12 were elucidated on the basis of HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. In addition, compound 10 was found to be moderately cytotoxic against a panel of tumor human cell lines. From these data we can formulate tentative structure-activity relationships for the antitubercular and antitumor activities of the ilamycins.

Abstract
Two new chlorinated bis-indole alkaloids, dionemycin (1) and 6-OMe-7',7″-dichorochromopyrrolic acid (2), along with seven known analogs 3-9, were isolated from the deep-sea derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 11791. Their structures were elucidated by extensive HRESIMS, and 1D and 2D NMR data analysis. In vitro antibacterial and cytotoxic assays revealed that, compound 1, shows anti-staphylococcal activity with an MIC range of 1-2 μg/mL against six clinic strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from human and pig. Additionally, compound 1 displayed cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines NCI-H460, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116, HepG2, and noncancerous MCF10A with an IC50 range of 3.1-11.2 μM. Analysis of the structure-activity relationship reveals that the chlorine atom at C-6″ could be pivotal for conferring their bioactivities, thus providing hints on chemical modifications on bis-indole alkaloid scaffold in drug design.

Abstract
Ilamycins are cyclopeptides with novel structures that have been isolated from different Actinomycetes. They showed strong anti-tuberculosis activity and could serve as important anti-tuberculosis drug leads. The functions of the pre-tailoring and the post-tailoring genes in the biosynthesis of ilamycins have been elucidated, but the functions of the regulatory and transporter genes remain elusive. We reported herein the functions of four genes in ilamycin biosynthetic gene cluster (ila BGC) including two regulatory genes (ilaA and ilaB) and two transporter genes (ilaJ and ilaK) and the heterologous expression of ila BGC. The IlaA and IlaB were unambiguously shown to be negative and positive regulator of ilamycins biosynthesis, respectively. Consistent with these roles, inactivation of ilaA and ilaB (independent of each other) was shown to enhance and abolish the production of ilamycins, respectively. Total yields of ilamycins were enhanced 3.0-fold and 1.9-fold by inactivation of ilaA and overexpression of ilaB compared to those of in the Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16, respectively. In addition, the ila BGC was successfully expressed in Streptomyces coelicolor M1152, which indicated that all biosynthetic elements for the construction of ilamycins were included in the PAC7A6. These results not only lay a foundation for further exploration of ilamycins, but also provide the genetic elements for synthetic biology.

Abstract
A silent ansamycin biosynthetic gene cluster (ovm) was activated in Streptomyces olivaceus SCSIO T05 following mutagenesis and media optimization. A new shunt product, olimycin C (1a) was produced by the ovmO-inactivated mutant strain, along with a minor product, olimycin D (1b). The production of these linear olimycin counterparts suggest that luciferase-like monooxygenase (LLM) OvmO catalyzes an on-PKS Baeyer-Villiger-type oxidation during assembly of the olimycin A (2) linear polyketide backbone.
