The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia ruckeri is the causative agent for enteric red mouth disease in salmonids. The genome of Y. ruckeri YRB contains a biosynthetic gene cluster encoding the biosynthesis of catechol siderophores that are diastereomeric with the known vanchrobactin class of siderophores, (DHBDArgLSer)(1–3). Ruckerbactin (1), produced by Y. ruckeri YRB, was found to be the linear tris-l-serine ester composed of l-arginine and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (DHBLArgLSer)3. The biscatechol, (DHBLArgLSer)2 (2), and monocatechol, DHBLArgLSer (3), compounds were also isolated and characterized. The macrolactone of ruckerbactin was not detected. The presence of LArg in ruckerbactin makes it the diastereomer of trivanchrobactin with DArg. The electronic circular dichroism spectra of Fe(III)–ruckerbactin and Fe(III)–trivanchrobactin reveal the opposite enantiomeric configurations at the Fe(III) sites. Fe(III)–ruckerbactin adopts the Δ configuration, and Fe(III)–trivanchrobactin adopts the Λ configuration. Y. ruckeri YRB was also found to produce the antimicrobial agent holomycin (4).

Amino acids are key synthetic building blocks that can be prepared in an enantiopure form by biocatalytic methods. We show that thel-selective ornithine deacetylase ArgE catalyses hydrolysis of a wide-range ofN-acyl-amino acid substrates. This activity was revealed by1H NMR spectroscopy that monitored the appearance of the well resolved signal of the acetate product. Furthermore, the assay was used to probe the subtle structural selectivity of the biocatalyst using a substrate that could adopt different rotameric conformations.

Under the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking, four new cycloheptapeptides, namely, asperheptatides A-D (1-4), were isolated together with three known analogues, asperversiamide A-C (5-7), from the coral-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor. The planar structures of the two major compounds, asperheptatides A and B (1 and 2), were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues were determined by advanced Marfey's method. The two structurally related trace metabolites, asperheptatides C and D (3 and 4), were characterized by ESI-MS/MS fragmentation methods. A series of new derivatives (8-26) of asperversiamide A (5) were semisynthesized. The antitubercular activities of 1, 2, and 5-26 against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra were also evaluated. Compounds 9, 13, 23, and 24 showed moderate activities with MIC values of 12.5 μM, representing a potential new class of antitubercular agents.

Coprisamides C and D (1 and 2) were isolated from a gut bacterium, Micromonospora sp. UTJ3, of the carrion beetle Silpha perforata. Based on the combined analysis of UV, MS, and NMR spectral data, the planar structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated to be unreported derivatives of coprisamides A and B, cyclic depsipeptides bearing a 2-alkenylcinnamic acid unit and the unusual amino acids β-methylaspartic acid and 2,3-diaminopropanoic acid. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined using the advanced Marfey's method, phenylglycine methyl ester derivatization, and J-based configuration analysis. The biosynthetic gene clusters for the coprisamides were investigated based on genomic data from coprisamide-producing strains Micromonospora sp. UTJ3 and Streptomyces sp. SNU533. Coprisamide C (1) was active against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis mc26230 strain.

Malaria remains a worldwide threat, afflicting over 200 million people each year. The emergence of drug resistance against existing therapeutics threatens to destabilize global efforts aimed at controlling Plasmodium spp. parasites, which is expected to leave vast portions of humanity unprotected against the disease. To address this need, systematic testing of a fungal natural product extract library assembled through the University of Oklahoma Citizen Science Soil Collection Program has generated an initial set of bioactive extracts that exhibit potent antiplasmodial activity (EC50 25 μM, selectivity index > 250). The unique chemodiversity afforded by these fungal isolates serves to unlock new opportunities for translating peptaibols into a bioactive scaffold worthy of further development.

Siderophores are secreted by microorganisms to survive in iron-depleted conditions, and they also possess tremendous therapeutic potential. Genomic-inspired isolation facilitated the identification of eight amphiphilic siderophores, saccharochelins A-H (1-8), from a rare marine-derived Saccharothrix species. Saccharochelins feature a series of fatty acyl groups appended to the same tetrapeptide skeleton. With the help of gene disruption and heterologous expression, we identified the saccharochelin biosynthetic pathway. The diversity of saccharochelins originates from the flexible specificity of the starter condensation (CS) domain at the beginning of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) toward various fatty acyl substrates. Saccharochelins showed cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.3 to 17 μM. Additionally, the fatty acid side chains of the saccharochelins remarkably affected the cytotoxicity, suggesting changing the N-terminal acyl groups of lipopeptides may be a promising approach to produce more potent derivatives.

A thiazole-containing cyclic depsipeptide with 11 amino acid residues, named pagoamide A (1), was isolated from laboratory cultures of a marine Chlorophyte, Derbesia sp. This green algal sample was collected from America Samoa, and pagoamide A was isolated using guidance by MS/MS-based molecular networking. Cultures were grown in a light- and temperature-controlled environment and harvested after several months of growth. The planar structure of pagoamide A (1) was characterized by detailed 1D and 2D NMR experiments along with MS and UV analysis. The absolute configurations of its amino acid residues were determined by advanced Marfey's analysis following chemical hydrolysis and hydrazinolysis reactions. Two of the residues in pagoamide A (1), phenylalanine and serine, each occurred twice in the molecule, once in the d- and once in the l-configuration. The biosynthetic origin of pagoamide A (1) was considered in light of other natural products investigations with coenocytic green algae.

l to d conversion of unactivated α-amino acids was achieved by solubility-induced diastereomer transformation (SIDT). Ternary complexes of an α-amino acid with 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde and a chiral guanidine (derived from corresponding chiral vicinal diamine) were obtained in good yield as diastereomerically pure imino acid salt complexes and were hydrolysed to obtain enantiopure α-amino acids. A combination of DFT computation, NMR spectroscopy, and crystal structure provide detailed insight into how two types of strong hydrogen bonds assist in rapid epimerization of the complexes that is essential for SIDT.

An efficient enzymatic method catalyzed by an enzyme from the d-threonine aldolase (DTA) family was developed for d-serine production at industrial scale. This process was used for the synthesis of two valuable ketoses, l-erythrulose and d-fructose, within the cascade enzymatic concept involving two other enzymes. Indeed, d-serine was used as a substrate of d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) for the in situ generation of the corresponding α-keto acid, hydroxypyruvic acid (HPA), a key donor substrate of transketolase (TK). This enzyme catalyzed the irreversible transfer of the ketol group from HPA to an aldehyde acceptor to form a (3S)-ketose by stereoselective carbon-carbon bond formation. The compatibility of all enzymes and substrates allowed a sequential three-step enzymatic process to be performed without purification of the intermediates. This strategy was validated with two TK aldehyde substrates to finally obtain the corresponding (3S)-ketoses with high control of the stereoselectivity and excellent aldehyde conversion rates.

A novel lipopeptide antibiotic, stalobacin I (1), was discovered from a culture broth of an unidentified Gram-negative bacterium. Stalobacin I (1) had a unique chemical architecture composed of an upper and a lower half peptide sequence, which were linked via a hemiaminal methylene moiety. The sequence of 1 contained an unusual amino acid, carnosadine, 3,4-dihydroxyariginine, 3-hydroxyisoleucine, and 3-hydroxyaspartic acid, and a novel cyclopropyl fatty acid. The antibacterial activity of 1 against a broad range of drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria was much stronger than those of last resort antibiotics such as vancomycin, linezolid, and telavancin (MIC 0.004-0.016 μg/mL). Furthermore, compound 1 induced a characteristic morphological change in Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains by inflating the bacterial cell body. The absolute configuration of a cyclopropyl amino acid, carnosadine, was determined by the synthetic study of its stereoisomers, which was an essential component for the strong activity of 1.
