ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL HYALURONIDASE INHIBITOR FROM A MARINE ACTINOMYCETES STRAIN
A novel hyaluronidase inhibitor (HI) was isolated from the culture extract of a marine- derived actinomycete strain. This strain MB-PO13 was isolated from ascidian (Molgula manhattensis) in Tokyo Bay. Out of about 1,000 isolates from various marine organisms, strain MB-PO13 had the strongest inhibitory activity and was selected for further study. The strain showed abundant-to-moderate growth on most media, forming a grayish mycelium. On the basis of the taxonomical characteristics, the strain was classified as belonging to the genus of Streptomyces and was named as Streptomyces sp. strain MB-PO13. The structure of HI was elucidated by interpretation of NMR data. HI displayed about 25-fold potent hyaluronidase inhibitory activity against hyaluronidase than glycyrrhizin.

Hyaluromycin, a Novel Hyaluronidase Inhibitor, Attenuates Pancreatic Cancer Cell Migration and Proliferation
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by accelerated production and degradation of hyaluronan (HA), a major component of extracellular matrix involved in the malignant phenotype of cancer. In particular, increased hyaluronidase (HYAL) activity plays a critical role in cancer progression, at least in part, by producing low-molecular-weight- (LMW-) HA or small fragments of HA, suggesting HYAL as a target for cancer treatment. Hyaluromycin, a new member of the rubromycin family of antibiotics, was isolated from the culture extract of a marine-derived Streptomyces hyaluromycini as a HYAL inhibitor. We investigated the antitumor effects of hyaluromycin in PDAC cells. We examined the effects of hyaluromycin on the proliferation and migration of PDAC cells. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the effect of hyaluromycin on PDAC cells, we examined the concentration of LMW-HA in the conditioned media after treating PDAC cells with hyaluromycin. We demonstrate that hyaluromycin inhibits proliferation and migration of PDAC cells. We also found that these antitumor effects of hyaluromycin were associated with a decreased concentration of LMW-HA and a decreased phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6. Our results suggest that hyaluromycin is a promising new drug against this highly aggressive neoplasm
Characterization of a yellow pigmented coral-associated bacterium exhibiting anti-Bacterial Activity Against Multidrug Resistant (MDR) Organism
Multidrug resistant (MDR) infections have been a world health issue for many decades, and therefore
exploration of new antibiotics to overcome this issue is urgently needed. Regarding antimicrobial properties in the coral holobiont, coral-associated bacteria are suggested as potential producer of new
antibacterial agents against MDR infections. The purposes of this study include isolation and identification of pigmented coral-associated bacteria, preparation of pigmented extract and evaluation of its
antibacterial property, as well as the characterization of the pigmented extract using thin layer chromatography (TLC). Nine bacteria candidates were isolated from an unidentified stony coral collected from
Tanjung Gelam, Karimunjawa National Park, Jepara Region, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Bacterial
pigment and other metabolites were extracted using 1-butanol, ethyl acetate and acetone. Silica gelbased TLC was applied to detect b-carotene and characterize the bacterial crude extracts. Antibacterial
activity was evaluated against the extended spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). A yellow pigmented bacterium was isolated
and identified as Vibrio owensii TNKJ.CR.24-7. Nonribosomal peptide-synthetase Peptide-Synthetase
NRPS genes fragments were detected. All bacterial extracts from 1-butanol, ethyl acetate and acetone
contained the yellow pigment that was identified as b-carotene. Only the crude extract from ethyl acetate
inhibited all of MDR bacteria. TLC chromatogram showed that there were 7 bands from 1-butanol extract
and 6 bands from ethyl acetate extract. However, crude extract from acetone was not well separated
using silica-based TLC. Bands at Rf 0.64 and 0.81 were found both in 1-butanol and ethyl acetate extract
Biosynthetic origin of butyrolactol A, an antifungal polyketide produced by a marine-derived Streptomyces
Butyrolactol A is an antifungal polyketide of Streptomyces bearing an uncommon tert-butyl starter unit and a polyol system in which eight hydroxy/acyloxy carbons are contiguously connected. Except for its congener butyrolactol B, there exist no structurally related natural products to date. In this study, inspired by our previous genomic analysis, incorporation of 13C- and 2H-labeled precursors into butyrolactol A was investigated. Based on the labeling pattern and sequencing analytical data, we confirmed that the tert-butyl group is derived from valine and its C-methylation with methionine and the polyol carbons are derived from a glycolysis intermediate, possibly hydroxymalonyl-ACP
Hyaluromycin, a New Hyaluronidase Inhibitor of Polyketide Origin from Marine Streptomyces sp.
Hyaluromycin (1), a new member of the rubromycin family of antibiotics, was isolated from the culture extract of a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. as a HAase inhibitor on the basis of HAase activity screening. The structure of 1 was elucidated through the interpretation of NMR data for the compound and its 3″-O-methyl derivative in combination with an incorporation experiment with [1,2-13C2]acetate.The compound’s absolute configuration was determined by the comparison of its circular dichroism (CD) spectrum with those of other rubromycins.Hyaluromycin (1) consists of a γ-rubromycin core structure possessing a 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone (C5N) unit as an amide substituent of the carboxyl function; both structural units have been reported only from actinomycetes. Hyaluromycin (1) displayed approximately 25-fold more potent hyaluronidase inhibitory activity against hyaluronidase than did glycyrrhizin, a known inhibitor of plant origin

Draft genome sequence of Streptomyces hyaluromycini MB-PO13T, a hyaluromycin producer
Abstract Streptomyces hyaluromycini MB-PO13T (=NBRC 110483T = DSM 100105T) is type strain of the species, which produces a hyaluronidase inhibitor, hyaluromycin. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain together with features of the organism and generation, annotation and analysis of the genome sequence. The 11.5 Mb genome of Streptomyces hyaluromycini MB-PO13T encoded 10,098 putative ORFs, of which 5317 were assigned with COG categories. The genome harbored at least six type I PKS clusters, three type II PKS gene clusters, two type III PKS gene clusters, six NRPS gene clusters, and one hybrid PKS/NRPS gene cluster. The type II PKS gene cluster including 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone synthetic genes was identified to be responsible for hyaluromycin synthesis. We propose the biosynthetic pathway based on bioinformatic analysis
