Abstract:Construction of a genomic DNA library from Pantoea agglomerans strain CU0119 and screening against the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora yielded a new family of antibiotics, dapdiamides A−E (1−5). The structures were established through 2D-NMR experiments and mass spectrometry, as well as the synthesis of dapdiamide A (1). Transposon mutagenesis of the active cosmid allowed identification of the biosynthetic gene cluster. The dapdiamide family’s promiscuous biosynthetic pathway contains two unconventional amide… Show more
“…1) (35). We previously proposed (37) that this compound would be identical to dapdiamide E, but now we are referring to the compound as herbicolin I to be consistent with earlier publications (7,18) and because the stereochemistry for both compounds has not been determined.…”

“…The biosynthesis of the dapdiamide antibiotics comprises the linkage of L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (DAP) to two variable units (e.g., amino acids, fumaramic acid and derivates) via amide bond formation (7,15). Culture supernatants of E. coli expressing the dapdiamide biosynthetic cluster from P. agglomerans CU0119 contained dapdiamide A as well as the less-abundant variants dapdiamide B and C, having an isoleucine or leucine moiety instead of valine.…”

“…Dapdiamide D and dapdiamide E also were present. These differ in linkage of DAP to fumaramic acid and an epoxide instead of the fumaramic acid double bond, respectively (7,15). It is possible that P. vagans C9-1 produces other dapdiamides that were not detected or isolated by the protocols used for isolation of N ß -epoxysuccinamoyl-DAPvaline.…”

Since the sequence of P. agglomerans CU0119 (7) comprises only the dapdiamide biosynthesis cluster, no evidence for horizontal transfer to P. agglomerans CU0119 is available.…”

“…This study confirms the chemical structure of herbicolin I, while the gene cluster was identified using plasposon mutants. The analysis of the biosynthetic genes revealed a similar gene cluster in P. agglomerans CU0119, which produces a family of dapdiamide antibiotics (dapdiamide A to E) (7,16). Additionally, we evaluated the incidence of homologous biosynthetic genes across a wide range of Pantoea spp., including plant, environmental, and clinical isolates.…”
ABSTRACTPantoea vagansC9-1 is a biocontrol strain that produces at least two antibiotics inhibiting the growth ofErwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight disease of pear and apple. One antibiotic, herbicolin I, was purified from culture filtrates ofP. vagansC9-1 and determined to be 2-amino-3-(oxirane-2,3-dicarboxamido)-propanoyl-valine, also known asNß-epoxysuccinamoyl-DAP-valine. A plasposon library was screened for mutants that had lost the ability to produce herbicolin I. It was shown that mutants had reduced biocontrol efficacy in immature pear assays. The biosynthetic gene cluster inP. vagansC9-1 was identified by sequencing the flanking regions of the plasposon insertion sites. The herbicolin I biosynthetic gene cluster consists of 10 coding sequences (CDS) and is located on the 166-kb plasmid pPag2. Sequence comparisons identified orthologous gene clusters inPantoea agglomeransCU0119 andSerratia proteamaculans568. A low incidence of detection of the biosynthetic cluster in a collection of 45Pantoeaspp. from biocontrol, environmental, and clinical origins showed that this is a rare trait among the tested strains.

Frei vorkommende nichtproteinogene Aminosäuren sind schon lange wegen ihrer antimetabolen Eigenschaften bekannt. Entdeckt werden sie meist aufgrund der Reaktivität gegenüber der katalytischen Wirkung der Zielenzyme. Führt man sie regiospezifisch in biogene Peptide und Proteine ein, kann es möglich werden, eine neue Ära der Medizinalchemie an der Grenze zwischen kleinen und großen Wirkstoffen einzuleiten. Außerdem eröffnet die ortsspezifische Funktionalisierung von Proteinen besonders attraktive Strategien für die posttranslationale Proteinmodifizierung. Auch bieten viele der Aminosäuren, die von der Natur nicht für den Einbau in Proteine ausgewählt wurden, reiche architektonische Möglichkeiten bei Einführung in ribosomal hergestellte Polypeptide. Dieser Aufsatz fasst die Biosynthesewege zu den wichtigsten Klassen nichtkanonischer Bausteine und deren Stoffwechsellogik zusammen, die in nichtribosomalen Peptidgerüsten und nichtribosomalen Peptid‐Polyketid‐Hybriden resultieren.
Belactosine und Cystargolide sind von Actinobakterien produzierte Naturstoffe mit proteasominhibitorischen Eigenschaften. Beide weisen ein Peptidrückgrat aus zwei Aminosäuren sowie einen einzigartigen β‐Lacton‐Baustein auf. Hier wird eine detaillierte Untersuchung der Biosynthese der beiden Naturstoffe beschrieben. Die Identifizierung und Analyse der entsprechenden Gencluster weist darauf hin, dass beide Stoffe über seltene Aminosäure‐Ligasen gebildet werden. Fütterungsversuche mit isotopenmarkierten Vorstufen und In‐vitro‐Biochemie zeigen einen bislang unbeschriebenen Mechanismus zur β‐Lacton‐Biosynthese, der sich aus der Leucin‐Bildung ableitet und die Beteiligung eines Isopropylmalat‐Synthase‐ähnlichen Enzyms vorsieht.
