Enzymatic reactions in teleocidin B biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: The teleocidin B family members are terpene indole compounds isolated from Streptomyces bacteria, and they strongly activate protein kinase C (PKC). Their unique structures have attracted many researchers in the natural product chemistry and pharmacology fields, and numerous isolation and bioactivity studies have been conducted. The accumulated information has facilitated the identification of the enzymatic reactions in teleocidin biosynthesis, and new developments in structural biology have strongly aided efforts to clarify the finer points of these reactions. This review describes the recent biochemical and structural biological studies to reveal their reaction mechanisms, with a primary focus on the terpene cyclization triggered by the C-N bond formation by P450 oxygenase (TleB), the prenyltransferase (TleC), and the methyltransferase (TleD). This new knowledge will benefit future engineering studies to create unnatural PKC activators.

Biotransformation of isoflavone using enzymatic reactions.

Project description:The roles of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) from Streptomyces spp. which are called the "treasure islands" for natural products for medicine and antibiotics are not well understood. Substrate specificity studies on CYPs may give a solution for elucidation of their roles. Based on homology sequence information, the CYP105D7 of a soluble cytochrome P450 known as heme protein from Streptomyces avermitilis MA4680 was expressed using the T7 promoter of the bacterial expression vector pET24ma, over-expressed in Escherichia coli system and characterized. An engineered whole cell system for daidzein hydroxylation was constructed using an exogenous electron transport system from ferredoxin reductase (PdR) and ferredoxin (Pdx). Also, an in vitro reaction study showed the purified CYP105D7 enzyme, using NADH-dependent-reducing equivalents of a redox partner from Pseudomonas putida, hydroxylated daidzein at the 3' position of the B ring to produce 7,3,'4' trihydroxyisoflavone. The hydroxylated position was confirmed by GC-MS analysis. The turnover number of the enzyme was 0.69 μmol 7,3,'4'-trihydroxyisoflavone produced per μmol P450 per min. This enzyme CYP105D7 represents a novel type of 3'-hydroxylase for daidzein hydroxylation. A P450 inhibitor such as coumarin significantly (ca.98%) inhibited the daidzein hydroxylation activity.

Predicting enzymatic reactions with a molecular transformer.

Project description:The use of enzymes for organic synthesis allows for simplified, more economical and selective synthetic routes not accessible to conventional reagents. However, predicting whether a particular molecule might undergo a specific enzyme transformation is very difficult. Here we used multi-task transfer learning to train the molecular transformer, a sequence-to-sequence machine learning model, with one million reactions from the US Patent Office (USPTO) database combined with 32 181 enzymatic transformations annotated with a text description of the enzyme. The resulting enzymatic transformer model predicts the structure and stereochemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reaction products with remarkable accuracy. One of the key novelties is that we combined the reaction SMILES language of only 405 atomic tokens with thousands of human language tokens describing the enzymes, such that our enzymatic transformer not only learned to interpret SMILES, but also the natural language as used by human experts to describe enzymes and their mutations.

Enzymatic Pyridine Aromatization during Thiopeptide Biosynthesis.

Project description:Thiazole-containing pyritides (thiopeptides) are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that have attracted interest owing to their potent biological activities and structural complexity. The class-defining feature of a thiopeptide is a six-membered, nitrogenous heterocycle formed by an enzymatic [4 + 2]-cycloaddition. In rare cases, piperidine or dehydropiperidine (DHP) is present; however, the aromatized pyridine is considerably more common. Despite significant effort, the mechanism by which the central pyridine is formed remains poorly understood. Building on our recent observation of the Bycroft-Gowland intermediate (i.e., the direct product of the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition), we interrogated thiopeptide pyridine synthases using a combination of targeted mutagenesis, kinetic assays, substrate analogs, enzyme-substrate cross-linking, and chemical rescue experiments. Collectively, our data delineate roles for several conserved residues in thiopeptide pyridine synthases. A critical tyrosine facilitates the final aromatization step of pyridine formation. This work provides a foundation for further exploration of the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction and future customization of pyridine-containing macrocyclic peptides.

Teleocidin-producing genotype of Streptomyces clavuligerus ATCC 27064.

Project description:Streptomyces clavuligerus is an industrially important producer of clavulanic acid (CA), a β-lactamase inhibitor which is used together with amoxicillin in one of the most widely prescribed antibacterial medicines, the co-amoxiclav. In a mid-eighties ATCC vial of S. clavuligerus ATCC 27064 culture, we have found a new genotype, which was apparently lost from the subsequent ATCC collection stocks, and has remained obscure to the scientific community. Most importantly, this genotype harbors teleocidin (lyngbyatoxin) biosynthetic genes, which are located on an enigmatic 138 kb chromosomal region and support accumulation of significant amounts of these highly toxic, tumor-promoting secondary metabolites in cultures of S. clavuligerus. While this genomic region is completely absent from all published sequences for S. clavuligerus ATCC strain, at least one of the industrial strains for commercial production of CA, originating from ATCC 27064, retained the genetic potential for production of teleocidins. The origin of teleocidin biosynthetic cluster can now be traced back to early S. clavuligerus stocks at the ATCC. Our work provides a genome sequence and a deposited monoisolate of this genotype. Given the scale of industrial use of S. clavuligerus world-wide and toxicity of teleocidins, we also discuss the environmental and safety implications and provide a method of abolishing teleocidin production without affecting productivity of CA. KEY POINTS: • Early stocks of S. clavuligerus ATCC 27064 produce toxic teleocidins • Teleocidin biosynthetic genes were found within a distinct S. clavuligerus genotype • The genotype has been passed on to some industrial clavulanic acid producer strains.

Light-triggered enzymatic reactions in nested vesicle reactors.

Project description:Cell-sized vesicles have tremendous potential both as miniaturised pL reaction vessels and in bottom-up synthetic biology as chassis for artificial cells. In both these areas the introduction of light-responsive modules affords increased functionality, for example, to initiate enzymatic reactions in the vesicle interior with spatiotemporal control. Here we report a system composed of nested vesicles where the inner compartments act as phototransducers, responding to ultraviolet irradiation through diacetylene polymerisation-induced pore formation to initiate enzymatic reactions. The controlled release and hydrolysis of a fluorogenic ?-galactosidase substrate in the external compartment is demonstrated, where the rate of reaction can be modulated by varying ultraviolet exposure time. Such cell-like nested microreactor structures could be utilised in fields from biocatalysis through to drug delivery.

Computation of kinetic isotope effects for enzymatic reactions.

Project description:We describe a computational approach, incorporating quantum mechanics into enzyme kinetics modeling with a special emphasis on computation of kinetic isotope effects. Two aspects are highlighted: (1) the potential energy surface is represented by a combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) potential in which the bond forming and breaking processes are modeled by electronic structure theory, and (2) a free energy perturbation method in path integral simulation is used to determine both kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). In this approach, which is called the PI-FEP/UM method, a light (heavy) isotope is mutated into a heavy (light) counterpart in centroid path integral simulations. The method is illustrated in the study of primary and secondary KIEs in two enzyme systems. In the case of nitroalkane oxidase, the enzymatic reaction exhibits enhanced quantum tunneling over that of the uncatalyzed process in water. In the dopa delarboxylase reaction, there appears to be distinguishable primary carbon-13 and secondary deuterium KIEs when the internal proton tautomerism is in the N-protonated or in the O-protonated positions. These examples show that the incorporation of quantum mechanical effects in enzyme kinetics modeling offers an opportunity to accurately and reliably model the mechanisms and free energies of enzymatic reactions.

Enzymatic basis of "hybridity" in thiomarinol biosynthesis.

Project description:Thiomarinol is a naturally occurring double-headed antibiotic that is highly potent against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Its structure comprises two antimicrobial subcomponents, pseudomonic acid analogue and holothin, linked by an amide bond. TmlU was thought to be the sole enzyme responsible for this amide-bond formation. In contrast to this idea, we show that TmlU acts as a CoA ligase that activates pseudomonic acid as a thioester that is processed by the acetyltransferase HolE to catalyze the amidation. TmlU prefers complex acyl acids as substrates, whereas HolE is relatively promiscuous, accepting a range of acyl-CoA and amine substrates. Our results provide detailed biochemical information on thiomarinol biosynthesis, and evolutionary insight regarding how the pseudomonic acid and holothin pathways converge to generate this potent hybrid antibiotic. This work also demonstrates the potential of TmlU/HolE enzymes as engineering tools to generate new "hybrid" molecules.

Natural-product sugar biosynthesis and enzymatic glycodiversification.

Project description:Many biologically active small-molecule natural products produced by microorganisms derive their activities from sugar substituents. Changing the structures of these sugars can have a profound impact on the biological properties of the parent compounds. This realization has inspired attempts to derivatize the sugar moieties of these natural products through exploitation of the sugar biosynthetic machinery. This approach requires an understanding of the biosynthetic pathway of each target sugar and detailed mechanistic knowledge of the key enzymes. Scientists have begun to unravel the biosynthetic logic behind the assembly of many glycosylated natural products and have found that a core set of enzyme activities is mixed and matched to synthesize the diverse sugar structures observed in nature. Remarkably, many of these sugar biosynthetic enzymes and glycosyltransferases also exhibit relaxed substrate specificity. The promiscuity of these enzymes has prompted efforts to modify the sugar structures and alter the glycosylation patterns of natural products through metabolic pathway engineering and enzymatic glycodiversification. In applied biomedical research, these studies will enable the development of new glycosylation tools and generate novel glycoforms of secondary metabolites with useful biological activity.
