Genome mining of novel rubiginones from Streptomyces sp. CB02414 and characterization of the post-PKS modification steps in rubiginone biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rubiginones belong to the angucycline family of aromatic polyketides, and they have been shown to potentiate the vincristine (VCR)-induced cytotoxicity against VCR-resistant cancer cell lines. However, the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and biosynthetic pathways for rubiginones have not been reported yet.

Results

In this study, based on bioinformatics analysis of the genome of Streptomyces sp. CB02414, we predicted the functions of the two type II polyketide synthases (PKSs) BGCs. The rub gene cluster was predicted to encode metabolites of the angucycline family. Scale-up fermentation of the CB02414 wild-type strain led to the discovery of eight rubiginones, including five new ones (rubiginones J, K, L, M, and N). Rubiginone J was proposed to be the final product of the rub gene cluster, which features extensive oxidation on the A-ring of the angucycline skeleton. Based on the production profiles of the CB02414 wild-type and the mutant strains, we proposed a biosynthetic pathway for the rubiginones in CB02414.

Conclusions

A genome mining strategy enabled the efficient discovery of new rubiginones from Streptomyces sp. CB02414. Based on the isolated biosynthetic intermediates, a plausible biosynthetic pathway for the rubiginones was proposed. Our research lays the foundation for further studies on the mechanism of the cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation of angucyclines and for the generation of novel angucyclines using combinatorial biosynthesis strategies.

Post-PKS tailoring steps of the spiramycin macrolactone ring in Streptomyces ambofaciens.

Project description:Spiramycins are clinically important 16-member macrolide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces ambofaciens. Biosynthetic studies have established that the earliest lactonic intermediate in spiramycin biosynthesis, the macrolactone platenolide I, is synthesized by a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS). Platenolide I then undergoes a series of post-PKS tailoring reactions yielding the final products, spiramycins I, II, and III. We recently characterized the post-PKS glycosylation steps of spiramycin biosynthesis in S. ambofaciens. We showed that three glycosyltransferases, Srm5, Srm29, and Srm38, catalyze the successive attachment of the three carbohydrates mycaminose, forosamine, and mycarose, respectively, with the help of two auxiliary proteins, Srm6 and Srm28. However, the enzymes responsible for the other tailoring steps, namely, the C-19 methyl group oxidation, the C-9 keto group reduction, and the C-3 hydroxyl group acylation, as well as the timing of the post-PKS tailoring reactions, remained to be established. In this study, we show that Srm13, a cytochrome P450, catalyzes the oxidation of the C-19 methyl group into a formyl group and that Srm26 catalyzes the reduction of the C-9 keto group, and we propose a timeline for spiramycin-biosynthetic post-PKS tailoring reactions.

Griseorhodins D-F, neuroactive intermediates and end products of post-PKS tailoring modification in Griseorhodin biosynthesis.

Project description:The griseorhodins belong to a family of extensively modified aromatic polyketides that exhibit activities such as inhibition of HIV reverse transcriptase and human telomerase. The vast structural diversity of this group of polyketides is largely introduced by enzymatic oxidations, which can significantly influence the bioactivity profile. Four new compounds, griseorhodins D-F, were isolated from a griseorhodin producer, Streptomyces sp. CN48+, based upon their enhancement of calcium uptake in a mouse dorsal root ganglion primary cell culture assay. Two of these compounds, griseorhodins D1 and D2, were shown to be identical to the major, previously uncharacterized products of a grhM mutant in an earlier griseorhodin biosynthesis study. Their structures enabled the establishment of a more complete hypothesis for the biosynthesis of griseorhodins and related compounds. The other two compounds, griseorhodins E and F, represent new products of post-polyketide synthase tailoring in griseorhodin biosynthesis and showed significant binding activity in a human dopamine active transporter assay.

Unraveling the biosynthesis of penicillenols by genome mining PKS-NRPS gene clusters in Penicillium citrinum.

Project description:Penicillenols belong to the family of tetramic acids with anticancer and antibacterial activities. Here, we report the discovery of the biosynthetic gene cluster (pnc) for penicillenol A1 and E in Penicillium citrinum ATCC9849 by genome mining. We discover the pnc cluster based on the results of gene deletions in P. citrinum and gene cluster heterologous expression in Aspergillus nidulans. We also propose the assembly line of the PKS module in PncA with the reduction by PncB provides a highly reduce polyketide chain to be further linked with an L-threonine molecule and released from PncA to produce penicillenol E. Further formation of penicillenol A1 requires the N-methylation of tetramic acid group by PncC. Our work deepens the understanding of the biosynthetic logic for N-methylated tetramic acids and contributes to the discovery of new penicillenols by genome mining.

Post-PKS tailoring steps of a disaccharide-containing polyene NPP in Pseudonocardia autotrophica.

Project description:A novel polyene compound NPP identified in a rare actinomycetes, Pseudonocardia autotrophica KCTC9441, was shown to contain an aglycone identical to nystatin but to harbor a unique di-sugar moiety, mycosaminyl-(α1-4)-N-acetyl-glucosamine, which led to higher solubility and reduced hemolytic activity. Although the nppDI was proved to be responsible for the transfer of first polyene sugar, mycosamine in NPP biosynthesis, the gene responsible for the second sugar extending glycosyltransferase (GT) as well as NPP post-PKS tailoring mechanism remained unknown. Here, we identified a NPP-specific second sugar extending GT gene named nppY, located at the edge of the NPP biosynthetic gene cluster. Targeted nppY gene deletion and its complementation proved that nppY is indeed responsible for the transfer of second sugar, N-acetyl-glucosamine in NPP biosynthesis. Site-directed mutagenesis on nppY also revealed several amino acid residues critical for NppY GT function. Moreover, a combination of deletions and complementations of two GT genes (nppDI and nppY) and one P450 hydroxylase gene (nppL) involved in the NPP post-PKS biosynthesis revealed that NPP aglycone is sequentially modified by the two different GTs encoded by nppDI and nppY, respectively, followed by the nppL-driven regio-specific hydroxylation at the NPP C10 position. These results set the stage for the biotechnological application of sugar diversification for the biosynthesis of novel polyene compounds in actinomycetes.

Genome-based analysis of the type II PKS biosynthesis pathway of xanthones in Streptomyces caelestis and their antifungal activity.

Project description:The ethyl acetate extract from the liquid fermentation of S. caelestis Aw99c exhibited high and broad antifungal activities against plant pathogenic fungi. Bioassay guide fractionation led to the discovery of two xanthones, citreamicin ε and θ. The draft genome sequence of S. caelestis Aw99c was analyzed by a similarity-based approach to elucidate the pathway for the citreamicins. A 48 kb citreamicin (cit) gene cluster with 51 open reading frames encoding type II polyketide synthases and unique polyketide tailoring enzymes was proposed based on the genome analysis and the chemical structure derivation. In vitro antifungal assay showed that citreamicin ε exhibited significant growth inhibition against the plant pathogenic fungi with MIC values ranging from 1.56 to 12.5 μM. The cellular structural change of M. grisea treated with citreamicin ε was detected by SEM and the result showed that citreamicin ε caused disruptive surface of the mycelia.

Discovery of ammosesters by mining the Streptomyces uncialis DCA2648 genome revealing new insight into ammosamide biosynthesis.

Project description:The ammosamides (AMMs) are a family of pyrroloquinoline alkaloids that exhibits a wide variety of bioactivities. A biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) that is highly homologous in both gene content and genetic organization to the amm BGC was identified by mining the Streptomyces uncialis DCA2648 genome, leading to the discovery of a sub-family of new AMM congeners, named ammosesters (AMEs). The AMEs feature a C-4a methyl ester, differing from the C-4a amide functional group characteristic to AMMs, and exhibit modest cytotoxicity against a broad spectrum of human cancer cell lines, expanding the structure-activity relationship for the pyrroloquinoline family of natural products. Comparative analysis of the ame and amm BGCs supports the use of a scaffold peptide as an emerging paradigm for the biosynthesis of the pyrroloquinoline family of natural products. AME and AMM biosynthesis diverges from a common intermediate by evolving the pathway-specific Ame24 O-methyltransferase and Amm20 amide synthetase, respectively. These findings will surely inspire future efforts to mimic Nature's combinatorial biosynthetic strategies for natural product structural diversity.

Genome Mining of Streptomyces sp. YIM 130001 Isolated From Lichen Affords New Thiopeptide Antibiotic.

Project description:Streptomyces bacteria are recognized as an important source for antibiotics with broad applications in human medicine and animal health. Here, we report the isolation of a new lichen-associating Streptomyces sp. YIM 130001 from the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna (Yunnan, China), which displayed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The draft genome sequence of this isolate strain revealed 18 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for secondary metabolites, which is an unusually low number compared to a typical streptomycete. Inactivation of a lantibiotic dehydrogenase-encoding gene from the BGC presumed to govern biosynthesis of a thiopeptide resulted in the loss of bioactivity. Using comparative HPLC analysis, two peaks in the chromatogram were identified in the extract from the wild-type strain, which were missing in the extract from the mutant. The compounds corresponding to the identified peaks were purified, and structure of one compound was elucidated using NMR. The compound, designated geninthiocin B, showed high similarity to several 35-membered macrocyclic thiopeptides geninthiocin, Val-geninthiocin and berninamycin A. Bioinformatics analysis of the geninthiocin B BGC revealed its close homology to that of berninamycins.

Genome Mining of Marine-Derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40010 Leads to Cytotoxic New Polycyclic Tetramate Macrolactams.

Project description:Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) biosynthetic gene cluster are widely distributed in different bacterial types, especially in Streptomyces species. The mining of the genomic data of marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40010 reveals the presence of a putative PTM-encoding biosynthetic gene cluster (ptm' BGC) that features a genetic organization for potentially producing 5/5/6 type of carbocyclic ring-containing PTMs. A fermentation of Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40010 led to the isolation and characterization of six new PTMs 1-6. Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis assigned their planar structures and relative configurations, and their absolute configurations were deduced by comparing the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra with the reported spectra of the known PTMs. Intriguingly, compounds 1-6 were determined to have a trans-orientation of H-10/H-11 at the first 5-membered ring, being distinct from the cis-orientation in their known PTM congeners. PTMs 1-5 displayed cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines, with IC50 values that ranged from 2.47 to 17.68 µM.

Genome mining of Streptomyces sp. BRB081 reveals the production of the antitumor pyrrolobenzodiazepine sibiromycin.

Project description:Employing a genome mining approach, this work aimed to further explore the secondary metabolism associated genes of Streptomyces sp. BRB081, a marine isolate. The genomic DNA of BRB081 was sequenced and assembled in a synteny-based pipeline for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) annotation. A total of 27 BGCs were annotated, including a sibiromycin complete cluster, a bioactive compound with potent antitumor activity. The production of sibiromycin, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine, was confirmed by the analysis of obtained BRB081 extract by HPLC-MS/MS, which showed the presence of the sibiromycin ions themselves, as well as its imine and methoxylated forms. To verify the presence of this cluster in other genomes available in public databases, a genome neighborhood network (GNN) was constructed with the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene from Streptomyces sp. BRB081. Although the literature does not report the occurrence of the sibiromycin BGC in any other microorganism than Streptosporangium sibiricum, we have located this BGC in 10 other genomes besides the BRB081 isolate, all of them belonging to the Actinomycetia class. These findings strengthen the importance of uninterrupted research for new producer strains of secondary metabolites with uncommon biological activities. These results reinforced the accuracy and robustness of genomics in the screening of natural products. Furthermore, the unprecedented nature of this discovery confirms the unknown metabolic potential of the Actinobacteria phylum and the importance of continuing screening studies in this taxon.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-022-03305-0.

Characterization of NucPNP and NucV involved in the early steps of nucleocidin biosynthesis in Streptomyces calvus.

Project description:Nucleocidin 1 produced by Streptomyces calvus is one of five characterized natural products containing fluorine. It was discovered in 1956, but its biosynthesis is not yet completely resolved. Recently, the biosynthetic gene cluster of 1 was identified. The nucPNP gene, which was initially annotated as orf206 and encodes a putative purine nucleoside phosphorylase, is essential for nucleocidin production. In this study, we performed in vitro assays and showed NucPNP produced adenine 3 from methylthioadenosine (MTA) 2 and adenosine 4. We also showed the downstream enzyme, NucV annotated as adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), catalyzes AMP formation from adenine 3 and 5-phospho-α-d-ribose-1-diphosphate (PRPP) 5. However, the catalytic efficiency of NucV was much slower than its homolog ScAPRT involved in the biosynthesis of canonical purine nucleoside in the same strain. These results provide new insights in nucleocidin biosynthesis and could guide future research on organofluorine formation.
