Hybrid isoprenoid secondary metabolite production in terrestrial and marine actinomycetes

Terpenoids are among the most ubiquitous and diverse secondary metabolites observed in nature. Although actinomycete bacteria are one of the primary sources of microbially derived secondary metabolites, they rarely produce compounds in this biosynthetic class. The terpenoid secondary metabolites that have been discovered from actinomycetes are often in the form of biosynthetic hybrids called hybrid isoprenoids (HIs). HIs include significant structural diversity and biological activity and thus are important targets for natural product discovery. Recent screening of marine actinomycetes has led to the discovery of a new lineage that is enriched in the production of biologically active HI secondary metabolites. These strains represent a promising resource for natural product discovery and provide unique opportunities to study the evolutionary history and ecological functions of an unusual group of secondary metabolites.     

放线菌与枯草芽孢杆菌的共培养及其对活性次生代谢产物的影响

为探讨共培养对放线菌产生活性次生代谢产物的影响,结合抗菌活性测定及HPLC-PDA分析,研究了22株放线菌的单培养及其与枯草芽孢杆菌的共培养发酵代谢产物的差异,并选取抗菌活性较强的链霉菌FXJ2.014进一步研究其代谢产物。发现FXJ2.014、FXJ1.296、AS4.1252三株菌与枯草芽孢杆菌共培养时产生其在相同条件下单培养时没有的物质,其中链霉菌FXJ2.014单培养时主要产生醌霉素A,共培养时产物中增加了醌霉素结构类似物FXJ2.014-HB。进一步的抗菌、抗肿瘤活性测定结果表明,两者的生物活性有较显著的差异,且FXJ2.014-HB对多种肿瘤细胞系的抑制活性普遍弱于高毒性的醌霉素A,为有潜力的细胞毒性较小的抗生素。共培养是一条很有希望的发掘放线菌活性次生代谢产物的新途径。     

Marine actinomycetes as a source of novel secondary metabolites

A set of 600 actinomycetes strains which were isolated from marine sediments from various sites in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans were screened for the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. Marine streptomycete strains were found to be producers of well known chemically diverse antibiotics isolated from terrestrial streptomycetes, as in the case of marine Micromonospora strains. New marine members of the rare genus Verrucosispora seem to be a promising source for novel bioactive secondary metabolites as shown in the case of the abyssomicin producing strain AB-18-032.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharopolyspora</Emphasis> hosts for heterologous expression of secondary metabolite gene clusters

Natural products discovery from actinomycetes has been on the decline in recent years, and has suffered from a lack of innovative ways to discover new secondary metabolites within a background of the thousands of known compounds. Recent advances in whole genome sequencing have revealed that actinomycetes with large genomes encode multiple secondary metabolite pathways, most of which remain cryptic. One approach to address the expression of cryptic pathways is to first identify novel pathways by bioinformatics, then clone and express them in well-characterized hosts with known secondary metabolomes. This process should eliminate the tedious dereplication process that has hampered natural products discovery. Several laboratory and industrial production strains have been used for heterologous production of secondary metabolite pathways. This review discusses the results of these studies, and the pros and cons of using various Streptomyces and one Saccharopolyspora strain for heterologous expression. This information should provide an experimental basis to help researchers choose hosts for current application and future development to express heterologous secondary metabolite pathways in yields sufficient for rapid scale-up, biological testing, and commercial production.

Molecular evolution of aromatic polyketides and comparative sequence analysis of polyketide ketosynthase and 16S ribosomal DNA genes from various streptomyces species

A 613-bp fragment of an essential ketosynthase gene from the biosynthetic pathway of aromatic polyketide antibiotics was sequenced from 99 actinomycetes isolated from soil. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolates clustered into clades that correspond to the various classes of aromatic polyketides. Additionally, sequencing of a 120-bp fragment from the gamma-variable region of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and subsequent comparative sequence analysis revealed incongruity between the ketosynthase and 16S rDNA phylogenetic trees, which strongly suggests that there has been horizontal transfer of aromatic polyketide biosynthesis genes. The results show that the ketosynthase tree could be used for DNA fingerprinting of secondary metabolites and for screening interesting aromatic polyketide biosynthesis genes. Furthermore, the movement of the ketosynthase genes suggests that traditional marker molecules like 16S rDNA give misleading information about the biosynthesis potential of aromatic polyketides, and thus only molecules that are directly involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites can be used to gain information about the biodiversity of antibiotic production in different actinomycetes.     

Relationship between secondary metabolism and fungal development.

Filamentous fungi are unique organisms-rivaled only by actinomycetes and plants-in producing a wide range of natural products called secondary metabolites. These compounds are very diverse in structure and perform functions that are not always known. However, most secondary metabolites are produced after the fungus has completed its initial growth phase and is beginning a stage of development represented by the formation of spores. In this review, we describe secondary metabolites produced by fungi that act as sporogenic factors to influence fungal development, are required for spore viability, or are produced at a time in the life cycle that coincides with development. We describe environmental and genetic factors that can influence the production of secondary metabolites. In the case of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, we review the only described work that genetically links the sporulation of this fungus to the production of the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin through a shared G-protein signaling pathway.
