Bovistol B, bovistol D and strossmayerin: Sesquiterpene metabolites from the culture filtrate of the basidiomycete Coprinopsis strossmayeri.

ABSTRACT: Basidiomycete fungi are a rich source of natural products with a diverse array of potentially exploitable bioactivities. Two dimeric sesquiterpenes, bovistol B (1) and D (2), and one monomeric sesquiterpene, strossmayerin (7), were isolated from the culture filtrate of the basidiomycete fungus Coprinopsis strossmayeri. The structures were determined through a combination of MS and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. Likely monomeric precursors, identified on the basis of HRMS analysis, allow a plausible biosynthetic pathway to be proposed for the biosynthesis of 1 and 2, involving the dimerisation of the monomer through a hetero-Diels-Alder mechanism. A gene cluster, including a putative sesquiterpene 1-11 cyclase, was identified through phylogenetic and RNA-seq analysis, and is proposed to be responsible for the biosynthesis of 1 and 2.

Project description:Despite being the subject of intensive research, tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains at present the leading cause of death from an infectious agent. Secreted and cell wall proteins interact with the host and play important roles in pathogenicity. These proteins are explored as candidate diagnostic markers, potential drug targets or vaccine antigens, and more recently special attention is being given to the role of their post-translational modifications. With the purpose of contributing to the proteomic and glycoproteomic characterization of this important pathogen, we performed a shotgun analysis of culture filtrate proteins of M. tuberculosis based on a liquid nano-HPLC tandem mass spectrometry and a label-free spectral counting normalization approach for protein quantification. We identified 1314 M. tuberculosis proteins in culture filtrate and found that the most abundant proteins belong to the extracellular region or cell wall compartment, and that the functional categories with higher protein abundance factor were virulence, detoxification and adaptation, and cell wall and cell processes. We could identify a group of proteins consistently detected in previous studies, most of which were highly abundant proteins. In culture filtrate, 140 proteins were predicted to contain one of the three types of bacterial N-terminal signal peptides. Besides, various proteins belonging to the ESX secretion systems, and to the PE and PPE families, secreted by the type VII secretion system using nonclassical secretion signals, were also identified. O-glycosylation was identified in 46 proteins, many of them lipoproteins and cell wall associated proteins. Finally, we provide proteomic evidence for 33 novel O-glycosylated proteins, aiding to the glycoproteomic characterization of relevant antigenic membrane and exported proteins. These findings are expected to collaborate with the research on pathogen derived biomarkers, virulence factors and vaccine candidates, and to provide clues to the understanding of the pathogenesis and survival strategies adopted by M. tuberculosis.

Project description:Background:Planctomycetes bacteria are known to be difficult to isolate, we hypothesized this may be due to missing iron compounds known to be important for other bacteria. We tested the growth-enhancement effect of complementing two standard media with Escherichia coli culture filtrate on two cultured strains of Gemmata spp. Also, the acquisition of iron by Gemmata spp. was evaluated by measuring various molecules involved in iron metabolism. Materials and Methods:Gemmata obscuriglobus and Gemmata massiliana were cultured in Caulobacter and Staley's medium supplemented or not with E. coli culture filtrate, likely containing siderophores and extracellular ferrireductases. We performed iron metabolism studies with FeSO4, FeCl3 and deferoxamine in the cultures with the E. coli filtrate and the controls. Results and Discussion:The numbers of G. obscuriglobus and G. massiliana colonies on Caulobacter medium or Staley's medium supplemented with E. coli culture filtrate were significantly higher than those on the standard medium (p < 0.0001). Agar plate assays revealed that the Gemmata colonies near E. coli colonies were larger than the more distant colonies, suggesting the diffusion of unknown growth promoting molecules. The inclusion of 10-4 to 10-3 M FeSO4 resulted in rapid Gemmata spp. growth (4-5 days compared with 8-9 days for the controls), suggesting that both species can utilize FeSO4 to boost their growth. In contrast, deferoxamine slowed down and prevented Gemmata spp. growth. Further studies revealed that the complementation of Caulobacter medium with E. coli culture filtrate and 10-4 M FeSO4 exerted a significant growth-enhancement effect compared with that obtained with Caulobacter medium supplemented with E. coli culture filtrate alone (p < 0.0122). Moreover, the intracellular iron concentrations in G. obscuriglobus and G. massiliana cultures in iron-depleted broth supplemented with the E. coli filtrate were 0.63 ± 0.16 and 0.78 ± 0.12 ?mol/L, respectively, whereas concentrations of 1.72 ± 0.13 and 1.56± 0.11 ?mol/L were found in the G. obscuriglobus and G. massiliana cultures grown in broth supplemented with the E. coli filtrate and FeSO4. The data reported here indicated that both E. coli culture filtrate and FeSO4 act as growth factors for Gemmata spp. via a potentiation mechanism.
