Characterization of the Two Methylation Steps Involved in the Biosynthesis of Mycinose in Tylosin
The <i>S</i>-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent <i>O</i>-methyltransferases
TylE and TylF catalyze the last two
methylation reactions in the tylosin biosynthetic pathway of <i>Streptomyces fradiae</i>. It has long been known that the TylE-catalyzed
C2‴-<i>O</i>-methylation of the 6-deoxy-d-allose bound to demethylmacrocin or demethyllactenocin precedes
the TylF-catalyzed C3‴-<i>O</i>-methylation of the d-javose (C2‴-<i>O</i>-methylated 6-deoxy-d-allose) attached to macrocin or lactenocin. This study reveals
the unexpected substrate promiscuity of TylE and TylF responsible
for the biosynthesis of d-mycinose (C3‴-<i>O</i>-methylated d-javose) in tylosin through the identification
of a new minor intermediate 2‴-<i>O</i>-demethyldesmycosin
(<b>2</b>; 3‴-methyl-demethyllactenocin), which lacks
a 2‴-<i>O</i>-methyl group on the mycinose moiety
of desmycosin, along with 2‴-<i>O</i>-demethyltylosin
(<b>1</b>; 3‴-methyl-demethylmacrocin) that was previously
detected from the <i>S. fradiae</i> mutant containing a
mutation in the <i>tylE</i> gene. These results unveil the
unique substrate flexibility of TylE and TylF and demonstrate their
potential for the engineered biosynthesis of novel glycosylated macrolide
derivatives
One-Pot Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Glycosylated Anthracyclines by Cocultivation of <i>Streptomyces</i> Strains Producing Aglycones and Nucleotide Deoxysugars
Anthracyclines, such
as doxorubicin, are effective anticancer drugs
composed of a tetracyclic polyketide aglycone and one or more deoxysugar
moieties, which play a critical role in their biological activity.
A facile one-pot combinatorial biosynthetic system was developed for
the generation of a range of glycosylated derivatives of anthracyclines.
Cocultivation of <i>Streptomyces venezuelae</i> mutants
producing two anthracycline aglycones with eight different nucleotide
deoxysugar-producing <i>S. venezuelae</i> mutants that coexpress
a substrate-flexible glycosyltransferase led to the generation of
16 aklavinone or ε-rhodomycinone glycosides containing diverse
deoxysugar moieties, seven of which are new. This demonstrates the
potential of the one-pot combinatorial biosynthetic system based on
cocultivation as a facile biological tool capable of combining diverse
aglycones and deoxysugars to generate structurally diverse polyketides
carrying engineered sugars for drug discovery and development

Nyuzenamide C, an Antiangiogenic Epoxy Cinnamic Acid-Containing Bicyclic Peptide from a Riverine Streptomyces sp.
A new nonribosomal peptide, nyuzenamide C (1), was discovered from riverine sediment-derived Streptomyces sp. DM14. Comprehensive analysis of the spectroscopic data of nyuzenamide C (1) revealed that 1 has a bicyclic backbone composed of six common amino acid residues (Asn, Leu, Pro, Gly, Val, and Thr) and four nonproteinogenic amino acid units, including hydroxyglycine, beta-hydroxyphenylalanine, p-hydroxyphenylglycine, and 3,beta-dihydroxytyrosine, along with 1,2-epoxypropyl cinnamic acid. The absolute configuration of 1 was proposed by J-based configuration analysis, the advanced Marfey's method, quantum mechanics-based DP4 calculations, and bioinformatic analysis of its nonribosomal peptide synthetase biosynthetic gene cluster. Nyuzenamide C (1) displayed antiangiogenic activity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and induced quinone reductase in murine Hepa-1c1c7 cells.N
