New Rimocidin/CE-108 Derivatives Obtained by a Crotonyl-CoA Carboxylase/Reductase Gene Disruption in Streptomyces diastaticus var. 108: Substrates for the Polyene Carboxamide Synthase PcsA.

ABSTRACT: The rimJ gene, which codes for a crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase, lies within the biosynthetic gene cluster for two polyketides belonging to the polyene macrolide group (CE-108 and rimocidin) produced by Streptomyces diastaticus var. 108. Disruption of rimJ by insertional inactivation gave rise to a recombinant strain overproducing new polyene derivatives besides the parental CE-108 (2a) and rimocidin (4a). The structure elucidation of one of them, CE-108D (3a), confirmed the incorporation of an alternative extender unit for elongation step 13. Other compounds were also overproduced in the fermentation broth of rimJ disruptant. The new compounds are in vivo substrates for the previously described polyene carboxamide synthase PcsA. The rimJ disruptant strain, constitutively expressing the pcsA gene, allowed the overproduction of CE-108E (3b), the corresponding carboxamide derivative of CE-108D (3a), with improved pharmacological properties.

Project description:Autotrophic Crenarchaeota use two different cycles for carbon dioxide fixation. Members of the Sulfolobales use the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (HP/HB) cycle, whereas Desulfurococcales and Thermoproteales use the dicarboxylate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle. While these two cycles differ in the carboxylation reactions resulting in the conversion of acetyl-CoA + 2 CO2 to succinyl-CoA, they have a common regeneration part in which succinyl-CoA is reconverted to two acetyl-CoA molecules. This common part includes crotonyl-CoA conversion to acetoacetyl-CoA, which has unequivocally been shown in Ignicoccus hospitalis (Desulfurococcales) and Pyrobaculum neutrophilus (Thermoproteales) to be catalyzed by a bifunctional crotonase/3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase. It is a fusion protein consisting of an enoyl-CoA hydratase and a dehydrogenase domain. As the homologous bifunctional protein is present in Sulfolobales as well, its common functioning in the conversion of crotonyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA was proposed. Here we show that a model autotrophic member of Sulfolobales, Metallosphaera sedula, possesses in addition to the bifunctional protein (Msed_0399) several separate genes coding for crotonyl-CoA hydratase and (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase. Their genes were previously shown to be transcribed under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions. The dehydrogenase Msed_1423 (and not the bifunctional protein Msed_0399) appears to be the main enzyme catalyzing the (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction. Homologs of this dehydrogenase are the only (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenases present in all autotrophic Sulfolobales, strengthening this conclusion. Two uncharacterized crotonase homologs present in M. sedula genome (Msed_0336 and Msed_0384) were heterologously produced and characterized. Both proteins were highly efficient crotonyl-CoA hydratases and may contribute (or be responsible) for the corresponding reaction in the HP/HB cycle in vivo.
