The bacterium Pantoea ananatis was reported to produce glycolipid biosurfactants of unknown structures. Herein, we present the isolation and structural determination of ananatoside A, the main congener of a new family of 15-membered macrodilactone-containing glucolipids. The structure of ananatoside A was elucidated via chemical degradation and spectroscopic methods including 1D/2D NMR analysis, tandem MS/MS, GC-MS, HR-ESI-TOF-MS, MALDI-TOF-MS, and polarimetry. Computational methods were used to predict the most abundant conformers of ananatoside A.

Regioselective hydroxylation on inactivated C?H bonds is among the dream reactions of organic chemists. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) perform this reaction in general with high regio- and stereoselectivity (e. g. for steroids as substrates). Furthermore, enzyme engineering may allow to tune the properties of the enzyme. Regioselective hydroxylation of shorter or linear molecules (fatty acids), however, remains challenging even with this enzyme class, due to the high similarity of the substrate's backbone carbons and their conformational flexibility. CYPs hydroxylating fatty acids selectively in the chemically more distinct α- or ω- position are well described. In contrast, selective in-chain hydroxylation of fatty acids lacks precedence. The peroxygenase CYP152A1 (P450Bsβ) is a family member that displays fatty acid hydroxylation at both, the α- and β-position, with preference for the α-position. Herein we report the influence of hydrophobic active site residues on the hydroxylation pattern of this enzyme. By site directed mutagenesis and combination of the libraries, double and triple mutation variants were identified, which hydroxylated decanoic acid (C10) with improved regio-selectivity in the β-position. Variants were identified with a 10-fold increase of the β-regioselectivity (expressed as α/β-ratio) compared to the wild type. In total 103 variants of CYP152A1 (P450Bsβ) were investigated.

Sirtuins are important regulators of lysine acylation, which is implicated in cellular metabolism and transcriptional control. This makes the sirtuin class of enzymes interesting targets for development of small molecule probes with pharmaceutical potential. To achieve detailed profiling and kinetic insight regarding sirtuin inhibitors, it is important to have access to efficient assays. In this work, we report readily synthesized fluorogenic substrates enabling enzyme-economical evaluation of SIRT2 inhibitors in a continuous assay format as well as evaluation of the properties of SIRT2 as a long chain deacylase enzyme. Novel enzymatic activities of SIRT2 were thus established in vitro, which warrant further investigation, and two known inhibitors, suramin and SirReal2, were profiled against substrates containing ε-N-acyllysine modifications of varying length.
