A [6+4]-cycloaddition adduct is the biosynthetic intermediate in streptoseomycin biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Streptoseomycin (STM, 1) is a bacterial macrolactone that has a unique 5/14/10/6/6-pentacyclic ring with an ether bridge. We have previously identified the biosynthetic gene cluster for 1 and characterized StmD as [6 + 4]- and [4 + 2]-bispericyclase that catalyze a reaction leading to both 6/10/6- and 10/6/6-tricyclic adducts (6 and 7). The remaining steps, especially how to install and stabilize the required 10/6/6-tricyclic core for downstream modifications, remain unknown. In this work, we have identified three oxidoreductases that fix the required 10/6/6-tryciclic core. A pair of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases, StmO1 and StmO2, catalyze the direct hydroxylation at [6 + 4]-adduct (6). Subsequently, a spontaneous [3,3]-Cope rearrangement and an enol-ketone tautomerization result in the formation of 10/6/6-tricyclic intermediate 12b, which can be further converted to a stable 10/6/6-tricyclic alcohol 11 through a ketoreduction by StmK. Crystal structure of the heterodimeric complex NtfO1-NtfO2, homologues of StmO1-StmO2 with equivalent function, reveals protein-protein interactions. Our results demonstrate that the [6 + 4]-adduct instead of [4 + 2]-adduct is the bona fide biosynthetic intermediate.

Project description:Certain strains of biocontrol bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens produce the secondary metabolite 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) to antagonize soilborne phytopathogens in the rhizosphere. The gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of 2,4-DAPG is named phlACBDEFGH and it is still unclear how the pathway-specific regulator phlH within this gene cluster regulates the metabolism of 2,4-DAPG. Here, we found that PhlH in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 2P24 represses the expression of the phlG gene encoding the 2,4-DAPG hydrolase by binding to a sequence motif overlapping with the -35 site recognized by σ70 factors. Through biochemical screening of PhlH ligands we identified the end product 2,4-DAPG and its biosynthetic intermediate monoacetylphloroglucinol (MAPG), which can act as signaling molecules to modulate the binding of PhlH to the target sequence and activate the expression of phlG Comparison of 2,4-DAPG production between the ΔphlH, ΔphlG, and ΔphlHG mutants confirmed that phlH and phlG impose negative feedback regulation over 2,4-DAPG biosynthesis. It was further demonstrated that the 2,4-DAPG degradation catalyzed by PhlG plays an insignificant role in 2,4-DAPG tolerance but contributes to bacterial growth advantages under carbon/nitrogen starvation conditions. Taken together, our data suggest that by monitoring and down-tuning in situ levels of 2,4-DAPG, the phlHG genes could dynamically modulate the metabolic loads attributed to 2,4-DAPG production and potentially contribute to rhizosphere adaptation.IMPORTANCE 2,4-DAPG, which is synthesized by biocontrol pseudomonad bacteria, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, and nematodes and plays an important role in suppressing soilborne plant pathogens. Although most of the genes in the 2,4-DAPG biosynthetic gene cluster (phl) have been characterized, it is still not clear how the pathway-specific regulator phlH is involved in 2,4-DAPG metabolism. This work revealed the role of PhlH in modulating 2,4-DAPG levels by controlling the expression of 2,4-DAPG hydrolase PhlG in response to 2,4-DAPG and MAPG. Since 2,4-DAPG biosynthesis imposes a metabolic burden on biocontrol pseudomonads, it is expected that the fine regulation of phlG by PhlH offers a way to dynamically modulate the metabolic loads attributed to 2,4-DAPG production.
