similarity to the JmjC domain containing proteins that are
connected to transcription factors,37 whereas the products of
orf 2, orf 3, and orf4 show similarity to the very heterogeneous
group of β-lactamases. Orf1 to orf4 are most likely involved in
the regulation of gene expression. At the same time, HPLC
analysis of a cultivation of orf5 mutants showed a
cystomanamide production comparable to the wild type strain,
indicating no or only a minor role of orf5 in the biosynthesis.
The compounds were tested in various bioactivity assays
including cytotoxicity against HCT-116 and CHO-K1 cells,
antibacterial tests against various Gram-negative and Gram-
positive bacterial strains, and antifungal assays against Candida
albicans and Mucor hiemalis and HIV-1 inhibition. Until now,
they have not shown biological activity. We continue functional
testing to find the often very specific biological activity of these
natural products and to further evaluate their biological
function.
In summary, we discovered a new family of glycosylated
lipopeptides using a structure-guided approach by LC-SPE-
NMR. The compounds were fully characterized, and a gene
cluster responsible for cystomanamide biosynthesis was
identified. Inactivation of three independent genes in this
cluster completely abolished cystomanamide production in the
mutants, verifying their essential role during biosynthesis.
