Chemical probes for the functionalization of polyketide intermediates.

ABSTRACT: A library of functionalized chemical probes capable of reacting with ketosynthase-bound biosynthetic intermediates was prepared and utilized to explore in?vivo polyketide diversification. Fermentation of ACP mutants of S. lasaliensis in the presence of the probes generated a range of unnatural polyketide derivatives, including novel putative lasalocid?A derivatives characterized by variable aryl ketone moieties and linear polyketide chains (bearing alkyne/azide handles and fluorine) flanking the polyether scaffold. By providing direct information on microorganism tolerance and enzyme processing of unnatural malonyl-ACP analogues, as well as on the amenability of unnatural polyketides to further structural modifications, the chemical probes constitute invaluable tools for the development of novel mutasynthesis and synthetic biology.

Enantioselective Alcohol C-H Functionalization for Polyketide Construction: Unlocking Redox-Economy and Site-Selectivity for Ideal Chemical Synthesis.

Project description:The development and application of stereoselective and site-selective catalytic methods that directly convert lower alcohols to higher alcohols are described. These processes merge the characteristics of transfer hydrogenation and carbonyl addition, exploiting alcohols and π-unsaturated reactants as redox pairs, which upon hydrogen transfer generate transient carbonyl-organometal pairs en route to products of C-C coupling. Unlike classical carbonyl additions, stoichiometric organometallic reagents and discrete alcohol-to-carbonyl redox reactions are not required. Additionally, due to a kinetic preference for primary alcohol dehydrogenation, the site-selective modification of glycols and higher polyols is possible, streamlining or eliminating use of protecting groups. The total syntheses of several iconic type I polyketide natural products were undertaken using these methods. In each case, the target compounds were prepared in significantly fewer steps than previously achieved.

Dehydratase-specific probes for fatty acid and polyketide synthases.

Project description:We targeted the development of a dehydratase (DH)-specific reactive probe that can facilitate detection, enrichment, and identification of DH enzymes in fatty acid synthases (FASs) and polyketide synthases (PKSs). The first reported mechanism-based inactivator, 3-decynoyl-N-acetylcysteamine (3-decynoyl-NAC), while active against the Escherichia coli ?-hydroxydecanoyl thiol ester DH FabA, translates poorly to an activity-based probe because of nonspecific reactivity of the thioester moiety. Here we describe the design, synthesis, and utility of a DH-specific probe that contains a sulfonyl 3-alkyne reactive warhead engineered to avoid hydrolysis or nonenzymatic inactivation. When coupled with a fluorescent tag, this probe targets DH enzymes from recombinant type I and type II FAS and PKS enzyme systems and in whole proteomes. Activity studies, including FabA inactivation and antibiotic susceptibility, suggest that this sulfonyl 3-alkyne scaffold selectively targets a common DH mechanism. These studies indicate that the DH-specific mechanism-based probe can greatly accelerate both the functional characterization and molecular identification of virtually any type of FAS and PKS in complex proteomes.

Investigation of fungal iterative polyketide synthase functions using partially assembled intermediates.

Project description:Iterative polyketide synthases (PKSs) are large, multifunctional enzymes that resemble eukaryotic fatty acid synthases but can make highly functionalized secondary metabolites using complex and unresolved programming rules. During biosynthesis of the kinase inhibitor hypothemycin by Hypomyces subiculosus , a highly reducing iterative PKS, Hpm8, cooperates with a nonreducing iterative PKS, Hpm3, to construct the advanced intermediate dehydrozearalenol (DHZ). The identity of putative intermediates in the formation of the highly reduced hexaketide portion of DHZ were confirmed by incorporation of (13)C-labeled N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) thioesters using the purified enzymes. The results show that Hpm8 can accept SNAC thioesters of intermediates that are ready for transfer from its acyl carrier protein domain to its ketosynthase domain and assemble them into DHZ in cooperation with Hpm3. Addition of certain structurally modified analogues of intermediates to Hpm8 and Hpm3 can produce DHZ derivatives.

Iterative synthesis of nitrogen-containing polyketide <i>via</i> oxime intermediates.

Project description:Typical polyketides consist of C, H, and O atoms, whereas several types of N-containing polyketides are known to show intriguing properties. Because conventional synthetic approaches for such compounds focus on only specific structures, a more general method is desirable. Here, we have developed an iterative synthesis of nitrogen-containing polyketide. Chain elongation of carboxylic acid via decarboxylative Claisen condensation with malonic acid half thioester was iteratively performed to construct carbon frameworks. β-Keto groups formed by the chain elongation were appropriately converted to O-methyl oximes for incorporation of nitrogen atoms. Cyclization of the resulting oxime intermediates followed by reductive N-O cleavage afforded structurally diverse nitrogen-containing polyketides such as 2-pyridone, 4-aminopyrone, and 4-aminosalicylate. This method was finally applied to the synthesis of (R)-6-aminomellein, which is a nitrogen-substituted derivative of bioactive compound, (R)-6-methoxymellein. The versatility of the present method would enable the synthesis of diverse polyketides with nitrogen functional groups, which can be potentially utilized for the development of novel bioactive compounds.

Enediyne polyketide synthases stereoselectively reduce the β-ketoacyl intermediates to β-D-hydroxyacyl intermediates in enediyne core biosynthesis.

Project description:PKSE biosynthesizes an enediyne core precursor from decarboxylative condensation of eight malonyl-CoAs. The KR domain of PKSE is responsible for iterative β-ketoreduction in each round of polyketide chain elongation. KRs from selected PKSEs were investigated in vitro with β-ketoacyl-SNACs as substrate mimics. Each of the KRs reduced the β-ketoacyl-SNACs stereoselectively, all affording the corresponding β-D-hydroxyacyl-SNACs, and the catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(M)) of the KRs increased significantly as the chain length of the β-ketoacyl-SNAC substrate increases.

Polyketide stereocontrol: a study in chemical biology.

Project description:The biosynthesis of reduced polyketides in bacteria by modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) proceeds with exquisite stereocontrol. As the stereochemistry is intimately linked to the strong bioactivity of these molecules, the origins of stereochemical control are of significant interest in attempts to create derivatives of these compounds by genetic engineering. In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge regarding this key aspect of the biosynthetic pathways. Given that much of this information has been obtained using chemical biology tools, work in this area serves as a showcase for the power of this approach to provide answers to fundamental biological questions.

Heat-Initiated Chemical Functionalization of Graphene.

Project description:A heat-initiated chemical reaction was developed to functionalize CVD-grown graphene at wafer scale and the reaction was universally extended to carbon nanotubes, and other precursors that could be thermally converted to active radicals. The chemical reaction can occur in absence of oxygen and water vapor when the temperature is above the decomposition temperature of the reactants. The chemical reaction was also found to be substrate-dependent due to surface doping and inhomogeneity. A large-scale graphene pattern was demonstrated by combing with microfluidic technique. This heat-initiated solid-phase chemical reaction provides a facile and environmentally friendly approach to functionalize carbon nanomaterials with various functional groups.

Silicon functionalization expands the repertoire of Si-rhodamine fluorescent probes.

Project description:Fluorescent dyes such as rhodamines are widely used to assay the activity and image the location of otherwise invisible molecules. Si-rhodamines, in which the bridging oxygen of rhodamines is replaced with a dimethyl silyl group, are increasingly the dye scaffold of choice for biological applications, as fluorescence is shifted into the near-infrared while maintaining high brightness. Despite intense interest in Si-rhodamines, there has been no exploration of the scope of silicon functionalization in these dyes, a potential site of modification that does not exist in conventional rhodamines. Here we report a broad range of silyl modifications that enable brighter dyes, further red-shifting, new ways to modulate fluorescence, and the introduction of handles for dye attachment, including fluorogenic labeling agents for nuclear DNA, SNAP-tag and HaloTag labeling. Modifications to the bridging silicon are therefore of broad utility to improve and expand the applications of all Si-dyes.
