Sesquiterpenoids from the Mangrove-Derived Aspergillus ustus 094102.

ABSTRACT: Four new drimane sesquiterpenoids (1-4) and three known ones (5-7) were isolated from the fermentation broth of the mangrove-derived Aspergillus ustus 094102. Compound 5 was further resolved as four purified compounds 5a-5d. By means of extensive spectroscopic and ECD analysis as well as the chemical transformation, their structures were identified as (2R,3R,5S,9R,10S)-2,3,9,11-tetrahydroxydrim-7-en-6-one (ustusol F, 1), (2R,3R,5R,9S,10R)-2,3,11-trihydroxydrim-7-en-6-one (9-deoxyustusol F, 2), (3S,5R,9R,10R)-3,11,12-trihydroxydrim-7-en-6-one (ustusol G, 3), (5S,6R,9S,10S, 11R,2'E,4'E)-(11-dideoxy-11-hydroxystrobilactone A-6-yl)-5-carboxypenta-2,4-dienoate (ustusolate H, 4), ((5S,6R,9S,10S)-strobilactone A-6-yl) (2E,4E)-6,7-dihydroxyocta-2,4-dienoate (ustusolate I, 5), (2'E,4'E;6',7'-erythro)-ustusolate I (5a) and (2'E,4'E;ent-6',7'-erythro)-ustusolate I (5b), (2'E,4'E,6'R,7'R)-ustusolate I (5c) and (2'E,4'E,6'S,7'S)-ustusolate I (5d), (5S,6R,9S,10S,2'E,4'E)-(strobilactone A-6-yl)-5-carboxypenta-2,4-dienoate (ustusolate J, 6), and (2S,5S,9R,10S)-2,9,11-trihydroxydrim-7-en-6-one (ustusol B, 7), respectively. Compound 5 showed antiproliferation against the human tumor cells CAL-62 and MG-63 with the IC₅₀ values of 16.3 and 10.1 µM, respectively.

Drimane sesquiterpenoids from a wetland soil-derived fungus Aspergillus calidoustus TJ403-EL05.

Project description:Soil-derived fungi represent an insufficiently tapped reservoir for discovering new and bioactive natural products (NPs), and despite an ever-increasing number of unknown NPs have been discovered over the past few decades, much of the hidden biosynthetic potential is still in an urgent need to be disclosed. In this research, a chemical investigation was performed on a wetland soil-derived fungus Aspergillus calidoustus TJ403-EL05, leading to the isolation of a total of fourteen drimane sesquiterpenoids (1-14), incorporating three new ones, namely ustusols F-H (1-3). Their structures, comprising absolute configurations, were completely authenticated by widespread spectroscopic data, quantum chemical 13C NMR and ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography experiments. Compound 14 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the LPS-induced NO release (IC50 = 25.6 μM).

Sesterterpene ophiobolin biosynthesis involving multiple gene clusters in Aspergillus ustus.

Project description:Terpenoids are the most diverse and abundant natural products among which sesterterpenes account for less than 2%, with very few reports on their biosynthesis. Ophiobolins are tricyclic 5-8-5 ring sesterterpenes with potential pharmaceutical application. Aspergillus ustus 094102 from mangrove rizhosphere produces ophiobolin and other terpenes. We obtained five gene cluster knockout mutants, with altered ophiobolin yield using genome sequencing and in silico analysis, combined with in vivo genetic manipulation. Involvement of the five gene clusters in ophiobolin synthesis was confirmed by investigation of the five key terpene synthesis relevant enzymes in each gene cluster, either by gene deletion and complementation or in vitro verification of protein function. The results demonstrate that ophiobolin skeleton biosynthesis involves five gene clusters, which are responsible for C15, C20, C25, and C30 terpenoid biosynthesis.

The Biosynthesis and Transport of Ophiobolins in Aspergillus ustus 094102.

Project description:Ophiobolins are a group of sesterterpenoids with a 5-8-5 tricyclic skeleton. They exhibit a significant cytotoxicity and present potential medicinal prospects. However, the biosynthesis and transport mechanisms of these valuable compounds have not been fully resolved. Herein, based on a transcriptome analysis, gene inactivation, heterologous expression and feeding experiments, we fully explain the biosynthesis pathway of ophiobolin K in Aspergillus ustus 094102, especially proved to be an unclustered oxidase OblCAu that catalyzes dehydrogenation at the site of C16 and C17 of both ophiobolin F and ophiobolin C. We also find that the intermediate ophiobolin C and final product ophiobolin K could be transported into a space between the cell wall and membrane by OblDAu to avoid the inhibiting of cell growth, which is proved by a fluorescence observation of the subcellular localization and cytotoxicity tests. This study completely resolves the biosynthesis mechanism of ophiobolins in strain A. ustus 094102. At the same time, it is revealed that the burden of strain growth caused by the excessive accumulation and toxicity of secondary metabolites is closely related to compartmentalized biosynthesis.

Aspergillus calidoustus sp. nov., causative agent of human infections previously assigned to Aspergillus ustus.

Project description:Aspergillus ustus is a relatively rare human pathogen causing invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. In this study isolates originating from clinical and other sources have been examined using molecular, morphological, and physiological approaches to clarify their species assignment. Phylogenetic analysis of partial beta-tubulin, calmodulin, actin, and intergenic transcribed spacer sequences indicated that none of the clinical isolates recognized previously as A. ustus belongs to this species. All but two of these isolates formed a well-defined clade related to A. pseudodeflectus based on sequence analysis of protein-coding regions. Morphological and physiological examination of these isolates indicated that they are able to grow above 37 degrees C, in contrast with A. ustus isolates, and give a positive Ehrlich reaction, in contrast with related species including A. granulosus, A. ustus, and A. pseudodeflectus. These isolates are proposed as a new species, A. calidoustus. Antifungal susceptibility testing showed that this species has decreased susceptibilities to several antifungal drugs. The triazoles are inactive in vitro, including the new azole posaconazole.

A genomics based discovery of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters in Aspergillus ustus.

Project description:Secondary metabolites (SMs) produced by Aspergillus have been extensively studied for their crucial roles in human health, medicine and industrial production. However, the resulting information is almost exclusively derived from a few model organisms, including A. nidulans and A. fumigatus, but little is known about rare pathogens. In this study, we performed a genomics based discovery of SM biosynthetic gene clusters in Aspergillus ustus, a rare human pathogen. A total of 52 gene clusters were identified in the draft genome of A. ustus 3.3904, such as the sterigmatocystin biosynthesis pathway that was commonly found in Aspergillus species. In addition, several SM biosynthetic gene clusters were firstly identified in Aspergillus that were possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer, including the vrt cluster that is responsible for viridicatumtoxin production. Comparative genomics revealed that A. ustus shared the largest number of SM biosynthetic gene clusters with A. nidulans, but much fewer with other Aspergilli like A. niger and A. oryzae. These findings would help to understand the diversity and evolution of SM biosynthesis pathways in genus Aspergillus, and we hope they will also promote the development of fungal identification methodology in clinic.

Citreobenzofuran D-F and Phomenone A-B: Five Novel Sesquiterpenoids from the Mangrove-Derived Fungus Penicillium sp. HDN13-494.

Project description:Five new sesquiterpenoids, citreobenzofuran D-F (1-3) and phomenone A-B (4-5), along with one known compound, xylarenone A (6), were isolated from the culture of the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium sp. HDN13-494. Their structures were deduced from extensive spectroscopic data, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Furthermore, the absolute structures of 1 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Citreobenzofuran E-F (2-3) are eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids with rare benzofuran frameworks, while phomenone A (4) contains a rare thiomethyl group, which is the first report of this kind of sesquiterpene with sulfur elements in the skeleton. All the compounds were tested for their antimicrobial and antitumor activity, and phomenone B (5) showed moderate activity against Bacillus subtilis, with an MIC value of 6.25 μM.
