Genome Sequencing and Evolutionary Analysis of Marine Gut Fungus Aspergillus sp. Z5 from Ligia oceanica.

ABSTRACT: Aspergillus sp. Z5, isolated from the gut of marine isopods, produces prolific secondary metabolites with new structure and bioactivity. Here, we report the draft sequence of the approximately 33.8-Mbp genome of this strain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome sequence of Aspergillus strain isolated from marine isopod Ligia oceanica. The phylogenetic analysis supported that this strain was closely related to A. versicolor, and genomic analysis revealed that Aspergillus sp. Z5 shared a high degree of colinearity with the genome of A. sydowii. Our results may facilitate studies on discovering the biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites and elucidating their evolution in this species.

Project description:Two novel aspochalasins, 20-?-methylthio-aspochalsin Q (named as aspochalasin V), (1) and aspochalasin W (2), were isolated from culture broth of Aspergillus sp., which was found in the gut of a marine isopod Ligia oceanica. The structures were determined on the basis of NMR and mass spectral data analysis. This is the first report about methylthio-substituted aspochalasin derivatives. Cytotoxicity against the prostate cancer PC3 cell line and HCT116 cell line was assayed using the MTT method. Apochalasin V showed moderate activity at IC50 values of 30.4 and 39.2 ?M, respectively.

Sortase A-Inhibitory Metabolites from a Marine-Derived Fungus Aspergillus sp.

Project description:Seven alkaloidal compounds (2-8) and one polyketide (1) were isolated from a semisolid rice culture of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. F452. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic data and comparisons with previously reported data. The alkaloidal compounds (2-8) displayed weak to moderate inhibitory activities against Staphylococcus aureus-derived sortase A (SrtA) without affecting cell viability. Aspermytin A (1) strongly inhibited SrtA activity, with an IC50 value of 146.0 ?M, and significantly reduced bacterial adherence to fibronectin-coated surfaces. The present results indicate that the underlying mechanism of action of compound 1 is associated with the inhibition of SrtA-mediated S. aureus adhesion to fibronectin, thus potentially serving as an SrtA inhibitor.

Aspergixanthones I?K, New Anti-Vibrio Prenylxanthones from the Marine-Derived Fungus Aspergillus sp. ZA-01.

Project description:Marine-derived fungi are a rich source of structurally diverse metabolites. Fungi produce an array of compounds when grown under different cultivation conditions. In the present work, different media were used to cultivate the fungus Aspergillus sp. ZA-01, which was previously studied for the production of bioactive compounds, and three new prenylxanthone derivatives, aspergixanthones I?K (1?3), and four known analogues (4?7) were obtained. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned by ECD experiment and the Mo?(AcO)? ICD spectrum of its methanolysis derivative (1a). All the compounds (1?7) were evaluated for their anti-Vibrio activities. Aspergixanthone I (1) showed the strongest anti-Vibrio activity against Vibrio parahemolyticus (MIC = 1.56 ?M), Vibrio anguillarum (MIC = 1.56 ?M), and Vibrio alginolyticus (MIC = 3.12 ?M).

Absolute Configurations of 14,15-Hydroxylated Prenylxanthones from a Marine-Derived Aspergillus sp. Fungus by Chiroptical Methods.

Project description:Determination of the absolute configrations for natural products is one of the most important and challenging tasks, especially when the molecules display high conformational flexibility. In this paper, eight new prenylxanthones, aspergixanthones A-H (1-8), and one known analogue (9), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. ZA-01. The absolute configurations of C-14 and C-15 in 1-8 were difficult to be assigned due to the high conformational flexibility of the chains. To solve this problem, the experimental ECD, ORD, and VCD spectra of 1 were combined for analysis with the corresponding theoretical predictions for its different diastereomers. This study suggested that a concerted application of more than one chiroptical methods could be used as a preferable approach for the stereochemical characterizations of flexible molecules. Compounds 1-9 were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. Among them, 6 showed cytotoxicity against the A-549 cell line with the IC50 value of 1.1??M, and 7 exhibited antibacterial activity against Micrococcus lysodeikticus with the MIC value of 0.78??g/mL.
