Enzymatic timing and tailoring of macrolactamization in syringolin biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: The enzymatic activation of 3,4-dehydrolysine and subsequent formation of the 12-membered syringolin macrolactam were investigated. The timing of the desaturation was elucidated through the analysis of the initial adenylation domain of SylD. The SylD-TTE didomain was characterized and demonstrated to be the catalyst for formation of 12-membered macrocycles. When the SylD thioesterase domain was reacted with a family of acyclic CoA both natural and unnatural macrocycles were generated.

Enzymatic tailoring of ornithine in the biosynthesis of the Rhizobium cyclic trihydroxamate siderophore vicibactin.

Project description:To acquire iron, the N(2)-fixing, symbiotic bacterium Rhizobium sp. produce the cyclic trihydroxamate siderophore vicibactin, containing a 30-membered trilactone scaffold. Herein we report the overproduction and purification of the six proteins VbsACGOLS in the bacterial host Escherichia coli and the reconstitution of the biosynthesis of vicibactin from primary metabolites. The flavoprotein VbsO acts as a pathway-initiating l-ornithine N(5)-hydroxylase, followed by VbsA, which transfers (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl- from the CoA thioester to N(5)-hydroxyornithine to yield N(5)-((R)-3-hydroxybutyryl)-N(5)-hydroxy-l-ornithine. VbsL is a PLP-dependent epimerase acting at C(2) of the 10 atom monomer unit. VbsS, a nonribosomal peptide synthetase free-standing module, then activates N(5)-((R)-3-hydroxybutyryl)-N(5)-hydroxy-d-ornithine as the AMP anhydride on the way to cyclotrimerization to the vicibactin scaffold. The last step, tris-acetylation of the C(2) amino group of desacetyl-d-vicibactin to the mature siderophore vicibactin, is catalyzed distributively by VbsC, using three molecules of acetyl-CoA.

SylC catalyzes ureido-bond formation during biosynthesis of the proteasome inhibitor syringolin A.

Project description:Syringolins are a class of cyclic tripeptide natural products that are potent and irreversible inhibitors of the eukaryotic proteasome. In addition to being hybrid NRPS/PKS molecules, they also feature an unusual ureido-linkage (red) between two amino acid monomers. Here we report the first in vitro characterization of enzymatic ureido-linkage formation which is catalyzed by an NRPS, SylC. Using (13)C- and (18)O-labeling studies, we show that biosynthesis occurs via N-carboxylation to form an initial N-carboxy-aminoacyl-S-Ppant enzyme intermediate which undergoes intramolecular cyclization followed by condensation with a second amino acid to form the ureido-containing dipeptide product.

Biosynthesis of the proteasome inhibitor syringolin A: the ureido group joining two amino acids originates from bicarbonate.

Project description:BackgroundSyringolin A, an important virulence factor in the interaction of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a with its host plant Phaseolus vulgaris (bean), was recently shown to irreversibly inhibit eukaryotic proteasomes by a novel mechanism. Syringolin A is synthesized by a mixed non-ribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthetase and consists of a tripeptide part including a twelve-membered ring with an N-terminal valine that is joined to a second valine via a very unusual ureido group. Analysis of sequence and architecture of the syringolin A synthetase gene cluster with the five open reading frames sylA-sylE allowed to formulate a biosynthesis model that explained all structural features of the tripeptide part of syringolin A but left the biosynthesis of the unusual ureido group unaccounted for.ResultsWe have cloned a 22 kb genomic fragment containing the sylA-sylE gene cluster but no other complete gene into the broad host range cosmid pLAFR3. Transfer of the recombinant cosmid into Pseudomonas putida and P. syringae pv. syringae SM was sufficient to direct the biosynthesis of bona fide syringolin A in these heterologous organisms whose genomes do not contain homologous genes. NMR analysis of syringolin A isolated from cultures grown in the presence of NaH(13)CO(3) revealed preferential (13)C-labeling at the ureido carbonyl position.ConclusionThe results show that no additional syringolin A-specific genes were needed for the biosynthesis of the enigmatic ureido group joining two amino acids. They reveal the source of the ureido carbonyl group to be bicarbonate/carbon dioxide, which we hypothesize is incorporated by carbamylation of valine mediated by the sylC gene product(s). A similar mechanism may also play a role in the biosynthesis of other ureido-group-containing NRPS products known largely from cyanobacteria.

Synergistic actions of tailoring enzymes in pradimicin biosynthesis.

Project description:Three key tailoring enzymes in pradimicin biosynthesis: PdmJ, PdmW, and PdmN, were investigated. PdmW was characterized as the C-6 hydroxylase by structural characterization of the corresponding product, 6-hydroxy-G-2A. The efficiencies of the C-5 and C-6 hydroxylations, catalyzed respectively by PdmJ and PdmW, were low when they were expressed individually with the early biosynthetic enzymes that form G-2A. When these two cytochrome P450 enzymes were co-expressed, a dihydroxylated product, 5,6-dihydroxy-G-2A, was efficiently produced, indicating that these two enzymes work synergistically in pradimicin biosynthesis. Heterologously expressed PdmN in Streptomyces coelicolor CH999 converted G-2A to JX137a by ligating a unit of D-alanine to the carboxyl group. PdmN has relaxed substrate specificity toward both amino acid donors and acceptors. Through combinatorial biosynthesis, a series of new pradimicin analogues were produced.

Rapid discovery of terpene tailoring enzymes for total biosynthesis.

Project description:Twenty oxygenated aristolochene congeners were rapidly synthesised by combining genes from four different fungal pathways in the fungal host organism Aspergillus oryzae. Compounds produced in a single step include the natural product hypoxylan A and an epimer of guignaderemophilane C. A new fungal aromatase was discovered that produces phenols by oxidative demethylation.

MLL3/MLL4 enzymatic activity shapes DNA replication timing.

Project description:Mammalian genomes are replicated in a precise order during S phase, which is cell-type-specific1-3 and correlates with local transcriptional activity2,4-8, chromatin modifications9 and chromatin architecture1,10,11,12. However, the causal relationships between these features and the key regulators of DNA replication timing (RT) are largely unknown. Here, machine learning was applied to quantify chromatin features, including epigenetic marks, histone variants and chromatin architectural factors, best predicting local RT under steady-state and RT changes during early embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation. About one-third of genome exhibited RT changes during the differentiation. Combined, chromatin features predicted steady-state RT and RT changes with high accuracy. Of these features, histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1) catalyzed by MLL3/4 (also known as KMT2C/D) emerged as a top predictor. Loss of Mll3/4 (but not Mll3 alone) or their enzymatic activity resulted in erasure of genome-wide RT dynamics during ES cell differentiation. Sites that normally gain H3K4me1 in a MLL3/4-dependent fashion during the transition failed to transition towards earlier RT, often with transcriptional activation unaffected. Further analysis revealed a requirement for MLL3/4 in promoting DNA replication initiation zones through MCM2 recruitment, providing a direct link for its role in regulating RT. Our results uncover MLL3/4-dependent H3K4me1 as a functional regulator of RT and highlight a causal relationship between the epigenome and RT that is largely uncoupled from transcription. These findings uncover a previously unknown role for MLL3/4-dependent chromatin functions which is likely relevant to the numerous diseases associated with MLL3/4 mutations.

Enzymatic reactions in teleocidin B biosynthesis.

Project description:The teleocidin B family members are terpene indole compounds isolated from Streptomyces bacteria, and they strongly activate protein kinase C (PKC). Their unique structures have attracted many researchers in the natural product chemistry and pharmacology fields, and numerous isolation and bioactivity studies have been conducted. The accumulated information has facilitated the identification of the enzymatic reactions in teleocidin biosynthesis, and new developments in structural biology have strongly aided efforts to clarify the finer points of these reactions. This review describes the recent biochemical and structural biological studies to reveal their reaction mechanisms, with a primary focus on the terpene cyclization triggered by the C-N bond formation by P450 oxygenase (TleB), the prenyltransferase (TleC), and the methyltransferase (TleD). This new knowledge will benefit future engineering studies to create unnatural PKC activators.

Tailoring the P450 monooxygenase gene for FR-008/candicidin biosynthesis.

Project description:Tailoring steps are often important for the activity of mature antibiotics. Here, we report that novel decarboxylated FR-008/candicidin derivatives were obtained from the P450 monooxygenase gene fscP mutant of Streptomyces sp. strain FR-008. The toxicity of decarboxylated FR-008/candicidin derivatives has been shown to be greatly reduced compared to that of wild-type FR-008/candicidin.

Natural-product sugar biosynthesis and enzymatic glycodiversification.

Project description:Many biologically active small-molecule natural products produced by microorganisms derive their activities from sugar substituents. Changing the structures of these sugars can have a profound impact on the biological properties of the parent compounds. This realization has inspired attempts to derivatize the sugar moieties of these natural products through exploitation of the sugar biosynthetic machinery. This approach requires an understanding of the biosynthetic pathway of each target sugar and detailed mechanistic knowledge of the key enzymes. Scientists have begun to unravel the biosynthetic logic behind the assembly of many glycosylated natural products and have found that a core set of enzyme activities is mixed and matched to synthesize the diverse sugar structures observed in nature. Remarkably, many of these sugar biosynthetic enzymes and glycosyltransferases also exhibit relaxed substrate specificity. The promiscuity of these enzymes has prompted efforts to modify the sugar structures and alter the glycosylation patterns of natural products through metabolic pathway engineering and enzymatic glycodiversification. In applied biomedical research, these studies will enable the development of new glycosylation tools and generate novel glycoforms of secondary metabolites with useful biological activity.

Enzymatic basis of "hybridity" in thiomarinol biosynthesis.

Project description:Thiomarinol is a naturally occurring double-headed antibiotic that is highly potent against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Its structure comprises two antimicrobial subcomponents, pseudomonic acid analogue and holothin, linked by an amide bond. TmlU was thought to be the sole enzyme responsible for this amide-bond formation. In contrast to this idea, we show that TmlU acts as a CoA ligase that activates pseudomonic acid as a thioester that is processed by the acetyltransferase HolE to catalyze the amidation. TmlU prefers complex acyl acids as substrates, whereas HolE is relatively promiscuous, accepting a range of acyl-CoA and amine substrates. Our results provide detailed biochemical information on thiomarinol biosynthesis, and evolutionary insight regarding how the pseudomonic acid and holothin pathways converge to generate this potent hybrid antibiotic. This work also demonstrates the potential of TmlU/HolE enzymes as engineering tools to generate new "hybrid" molecules.
