    Notes: Chain initiation on many modular polyketide synthases is mediated by acyl transfer from the CoA ester of a dicarboxylic acid, followed by decarboxylation in situ by KSQ, a ketosynthase-like decarboxylase domain. Consistent with this, the acyltransferase (AT) domains of all KSQ-containing loading modules are shown here to contain a key arginine residue at their active site. Site-specific replacement of this arginine residue in the oleandomycin (ole) loading AT domain effectively abolished AT activity, consistent with its importance for catalysis. Substitution of the ole PKS loading module, or of the tylosin PKS loading module, for the erythromycin (ery) loading module gave polyketide products almost wholly either acetate derived or propionate derived, respectively, instead of the mixture found normally. An authentic extension module AT domain, rap AT2 from the rapamycin PKS, functioned appropriately when engineered in the place of the ole loading AT domain, and gave rise to substantial amounts of C13-methylerythromycins, as predicted. The role of direct acylation of the ketosynthase domain of ex-tension module 1 in chain initiation was confirmed by demonstrating that a mutant of the triketide synthase DEBS1-TE, in which the 4′-phosphopante-theine attachment site for starter acyl groups was specifically removed, produced triketide lactone pro-ducts in detectable amounts.

    Notes: Using a previously developed expression system based on the erythromycin-producing strain of Saccharopolyspora erythraea, O-methyltransferases from the spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster of Saccharopolyspora spinosa have been shown to modify a rhamnosyl sugar attached to a 14-membered polyketide macrolactone. The spnI, spnK and spnH methyltransferase genes were expressed individually in the S. erythraea mutant SGT2, which is blocked both in endogenous macrolide biosynthesis and in ery glycosyltransferases eryBV and eryCIII. Exogenous 3-O-rhamnosyl-erythronolide B was efficiently converted into 3-O-(2′-O-methylrhamnosyl)-erythronolide B by the S. erythraea SGT2 (spnI) strain only. When 3-O-(2′-O-methylrhamnosyl)-erythronolide B was, in turn, fed to a culture of S. erythraea SGT2 (spnK), 3-O-(2′,3′-bis-O-methylrhamnosyl)-erythronolide B was identified in the culture supernatant, whereas S. erythraea SGT2 (spnH) was without effect. These results confirm the identity of the 2′- and 3′-O-methyltransferases, and the specific sequence in which they act, and they demonstrate that these methyltransferases may be used to methylate rhamnose units in other polyketide natural products with the same specificity as in the spinosyn pathway. In contrast, 3-O-(2′,3′-bis-O-methylrhamnosyl)-erythronolide B was found not to be a substrate for the 4′-O-methyltransferase SpnH. Although rhamnosylerythromycins did not serve directly as substrates for the spinosyn methyltransferases, methylrhamnosyl-erythromycins were obtained by subsequent conversion of the corresponding methylrhamnosyl-erythronolide precursors using the S. erythraea strain SGT2 housing EryCIII, the desosaminyltransferase of the erythromycin pathway. 3-O-(2′-O-methylrhamnosyl)-erythromycin D was tested and found to be significantly active against a strain of erythromycin-sensitive Bacillus subtilis.

    Notes: The biological activity of polyketide antibiotics is often strongly dependent on the presence and type of deoxysugar residues attached to the aglycone core. A system is described here, based on the erythromycin-producing strain of Saccharopolyspora erythraea, for detection of hybrid glycoside formation, and this system has been used to demonstrate that an amino sugar characteristic of 14-membered macrolides (d-desosamine) can be efficiently attached to a 16-membered aglycone substrate. First, the S. erythraea mutant strain DM was created by deletion of both eryBV and eryCIII genes encoding the respective ery glycosyltransferase genes. The glycosyltransferase OleG2 from Streptomyces antibioticus, which transfers l-oleandrose, has recently been shown to transfer rhamnose to the oxygen at C-3 of erythronolide B and 6-deoxyerythronolide B. In full accordance with this finding, when oleG2 was expressed in S. erythraea DM, 3-O-rhamnosyl-erythronolide B and 3-O-rhamnosyl-6-deoxyerythronolide B were produced. Having thus validated the expression system, endogenous aglycone production was prevented by deletion of the polyketide synthase (eryA) genes from S. erythraea DM, creating the triple mutant SGT2. To examine the ability of the mycaminosyltransferase TylM2 from Streptomyces fradiae to utilise a different amino sugar, tylM2 was integrated into S. erythraea SGT2, and the resulting strain was fed with the 16-membered aglycone tylactone, the normal TylM2 substrate. A new hybrid glycoside was isolated in good yield and characterized as 5-O-desosaminyl-tylactone, indicating that TylM2 may be a useful glycosyltransferase for combinatorial biosynthesis. 5-O-glucosyl-tylactone was also obtained, showing that endogenous activated sugars and glycosyltransferases compete for aglycone in these cells.

    Notes: The glycosyltransferases OleG1 and OleG2 and the cytochrome P450 oxidase OleP from the oleandomycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces antibioticus have been expressed, either separately or from artificial gene cassettes, in strains of Saccharopolyspora erythraea blocked in erythromycin biosynthesis, to investigate their potential for the production of diverse novel macrolides from erythronolide precursors. OleP was found to oxidize 6-deoxyerythronolide B, but not erythronolide B. However, OleP did oxidize derivatives of erythronolide B in which a neutral sugar is attached at C-3. The oxidized products 3-O-mycarosyl-8a-hydroxyerythronolide B, 3-O-mycarosyl-8,8a-epoxyerythronolide B, 6-deoxy-8-hydroxyerythronolide B and the olefin 6-deoxy-8,8a-dehydroerythronolide B were all isolated and their structures determined. When oleP and the mycarosyltransferase eryBV were co-expressed in a gene cassette, 3-O-mycarosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dihydroxyerythronolide B was directly obtained. When oleG2 was co-expressed in a gene cassette together with oleP, 6-deoxyerythronolide B was converted into a mixture of 3-O-rhamnosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dehydroerythronolide B and 3-O-rhamnosyl-6-deoxy-8,8a-dihydroxyerythronolide B, confirming previous reports that OleG2 can transfer rhamnose, and confirming that oxidation by OleP and attachment of the neutral sugar to the aglycone can occur in either order. Similarly, four different 3-O-mycarosylerythronolides were found to be substrates for the desosaminyltransferase OleG1. These results provide additional insight into the nature of the intermediates in OleP-mediated oxidation, and suggest that oleandomycin biosynthesis might follow parallel pathways in which epoxidation either precedes or follows attachment of the neutral sugar.

    An ABC-transporter from Streptomyces longisporoflavus confers resistance to the polyether-ionophore antibiotic tetronasin (1994)

    Notes: Streptomyces longisporoflavus produces the poly-ketide-polyether antibiotic, tetronasin, which acts as an ionophore and depolarizes the membrane of bacteria sensitive to the drug. A genomic library of S. longisporoflavus DN A was cloned in Streptomyces Uvldans and screened to identify tetronasin-resistance determinants. The inclusion of 0.2 M NaCl in the growth medium with tetronasin markedly improved the sensitivity of the screen. Two different resistance determinants, designated tnrB (ptetR51) and tnrA (ptetR11) respectively, were identified. The determinant tnrB (ptetR51) but not tnrA (ptetR11), also conferred resistance to tetronasin when cloned into Streptomyces albus. The tnrB determinant was further localized, by subcloning, to a 2.8 kb Kpnl fragment. DNA sequence analysis of this insert revealed one incomplete and two complete open reading frames (ORFs 1, 2 and 3). The deduced sequence of the gene product of ORF2 (TnrB2) revealed significant similarity to the ATP-binding domains of the ABC (ATP binding cassette) superfamily of transport-related proteins. The adjacent gene, ORF3, is translationally coupled to ORF2 and would encode a hydrophobic protein (TnrB3) with six transmembrane helices which probably constitutes the integral membrane component of the transporter. The mechanism of tetronasin resistance mediated by tnrB is probably an ATP-dependent efflux system.

    Notes: The analysis of a candidate biosynthetic gene cluster (97 kbp) for the polyether ionophore monensin from Streptomyces cinnamonensis has revealed a modular polyketide synthase composed of eight separate multienzyme subunits housing a total of 12 extension modules, and flanked by numerous other genes for which a plausible function in monensin biosynthesis can be ascribed. Deletion of essentially all these clustered genes specifically abolished monensin production, while overexpression in S. cinnamonensis of the putative pathway-specific regulatory gene monR led to a fivefold increase in monensin production. Experimental support is presented for a recently-proposed mechanism, for oxidative cyclization of a linear polyketide intermediate, involving four enzymes, the products of monBI, monBII, monCI and monCII. In frame deletion of either of the individual genes monCII (encoding a putative cyclase) or monBII (encoding a putative novel isomerase) specifically abolished monensin production. Also, heterologous expression of monCI, encoding a flavin-linked epoxidase, in S. coelicolor was shown to significantly increase the ability of S. coelicolor to epoxidize linalool, a model substrate for the presumed linear polyketide intermediate in monensin biosynthesis.

    Biosynthesis of the angiogenesis inhibitor borrelidin by Streptomyces parvulus Tü4055: insights into nitrile formation (2004)

    Notes: The 18-membered polyketide macrolide borrelidin exhibits a number of important biological activities, including potent angiogenesis inhibition. This has prompted two recent total syntheses as well as the cloning of the biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces parvulus Tü4055. Borrelidin possesses some unusual structural characteristics, including a cyclopentane carboxylic acid moiety at C17 and a nitrile moiety at C12 of the macrocyclic ring. Nitrile groups are relatively rare in nature, and little is known of their biosynthesis during secondary metabolism. The nitrile group of borrelidin is shown here to arise from the methyl group of a methylmalonyl-CoA extender unit incorporated during polyketide chain extension. Insertional inactivation of two genes in the borrelidin gene cluster, borI (coding for a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase) and borJ (coding for an aminotransferase), generated borrelidin non-producing mutants. These mutants accumulated different compounds lacking the C12 nitrile moiety, with the product of the borI-minus mutant (12-desnitrile-12-methyl-borrelidin) possessing a methyl group and that of the borJ-minus mutant (12-desnitrile-12-carboxyl-borrelidin) a carboxyl group at C12. The former but not the latter was converted into borrelidin when biotransformed by an S. parvulus mutant that is deficient in the biosynthesis of the borrelidin starter unit. This suggests that 12-desnitrile-12-methyl-borrelidin is a competent biosynthetic intermediate, whereas the carboxylated derivative is a shunt metabolite. Bioconversion of 12-desnitrile-12-methyl-borrelidin into borrelidin was also achieved in a heterologous system co-expressing borI and borJ in Streptomyces albus J1074. This bioconversion was more efficient when borK, which is believed to encode a dehydrogenase, was simultaneously expressed with borI and borJ. On the basis of these findings, a pathway is proposed for the formation of the nitrile moiety during borrelidin biosynthesis.
