1. Interactions of Destruxin A with Silkworms' Arginine tRNA Synthetase and Lamin-C Proteins
Jingjing Wang, Qunfang Weng, Fei Yin, Qiongbo Hu Toxins (Basel). 2020 Feb 22;12(2):137. doi: 10.3390/toxins12020137.
Destruxin A (DA), a cyclodepsipeptidic mycotoxin produced by entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, has good insecticidal activity and potential to be a new pesticide. However, the mechanism of action is still obscure. Our previous experiments showed that DA was involved in regulation of transcription and protein synthesis and suggested that silkworms' arginine tRNA synthetase (BmArgRS), Lamin-C Proteins (BmLamin-C) and ATP-dependent RNA helicase PRP1 (BmPRP1) were candidates of DA-binding proteins. In this study, we employed bio-layer interferometry (BLI), circular dichroism (CD), cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), and other technologies to verify the interaction of DA with above three proteins in vitro and in vivo. The results of BLI indicated that BmArgRS and BmLamin-C were binding-protein of DA with KD value 5.53 × 10-5 and 8.64 × 10-5 M, but not BmPRP1. These interactions were also verified by CD and CETSA tests. In addition, docking model and mutants assay in vitro showed that BmArgRS interacts with DA at the pocket including Lys228, His231, Asp434 and Gln437 in its enzyme active catalysis region, while BmLamin-C binds to DA at His524 and Lys528 in the tail domain. This study might provide new insight and evidence in illustrating molecular mechanism of DA in breaking insect.
2. Cyclopeptides from the Mushroom Pathogen Fungus Cladobotryum varium

Three new cyclopeptides with serial Phe residues were identified with the aid of HPLC-DAD analysis, from the culture broth of Cladobotryum varium, a fungal pathogen causing mushroom cobweb disease. Cladoamides A (1) and B (2) have two consecutive N-methylphenylalanine units in the destruxin class cyclic depsipentapeptide framework, while cladoamide C (3) has a three consecutive Phe motif in a cyclopentapeptide structure. Of these three cyclopeptides, 1 showed potent autophagy-inducing activity at 10 μg/mL, comparable to a positive control, rapamycin. For the determination of the absolute configurations of the Ile residues in 1 and 3, new conditions for separating Ile and allo-Ile, using a pentafluorophenyl-bonded solid phase and methanolic solvent, were established within the analytical scheme of the advanced Marfey's method, thus offering a convenient alternative to the C3 Marfey's method, which requires elution with a three-solvent mixture. The sequence of two d-Phe and one l-Phe in 3 was determined through NMR chemical shift prediction by DFT-based calculations and chemical synthesis, which demonstrated the significance of noncovalent interactions in the accurate calculation of stable conformers for peptides with multiple aromatic rings.
3. Mutation of a prenyltransferase results in accumulation of subglutinols and destruxins and enhanced virulence in the insect pathogen, Metarhizium anisopliae
Chengzhou Li, Wenyou Huang, Tingting Zhou, Qian Zhao, Peiquan Huang, Ping Qi, Song Huang, Shuaishuai Huang, Nemat O Keyhani, Zhen Huang Environ Microbiol. 2022 Mar;24(3):1362-1379. doi: 10.1111/1462-2920.15859. Epub 2021 Dec 27.
The insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae is a commercialized microbial agent used in biological control efforts targeting a diverse range of agricultural and other insect pests. The second step in the synthesis of a group of M. anisopliae α-pyrone diterpenoids (termed subglutinols) involves the activity of a prenyltransferase family geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (product of the subD/MaGGPPS5 gene). Here, we show that targeted gene disruption of MaGGPPS5 results in earlier conidial germination and faster greater vegetative growth compared to the wild type (WT) parent and complemented strains. In addition, insect bioassays revealed that the ΔMaGGPPS5 mutant strain displayed significantly increased virulence, with a ~50% decrease in the mean lethal time (LT50 , from 6 to 3 days) to kill (50% of) target insects, and an ~15-40-fold decrease in the mean lethal dose (LC50 ). Metabolite profiling indicated increased accumulation in the ΔMaGGPPS5 mutant of select subglutinols (A, B and C) and destruxins (A, A2, B and B2), the latter a set of fungal secondary metabolites that act as insect toxins, with a concomitant loss of production of subglutinol 'analogue 45'. These data suggest that the increased virulence phenotype seen for the ΔMaGGPPS5 strain can, at least in part, be attributed to a combination of faster growth and increased insect toxin production, linking the production of two different secondary metabolite pathways, and represent a novel approach for the screening of isolates with enhanced virulence via modulation of terpenoid secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
