1. Solution structures of the lantibiotics duramycin B and C
N Zimmermann, S Freund, A Fredenhagen, G Jung Eur J Biochem. 1993 Sep 1;216(2):419-28. doi: 10.1111/j.1432-1033.1993.tb18159.x.
The solution structures of the lantibiotics duramycin B in H2O/2H2O (9:1) and duramycin C in (2H3)acetonitrile/H2O (1:1) have been determined by NMR followed by distance-geometry and restrained-molecular-mechanics calculations. The constitution and location of three thioether bridges and a lysinoalanine ring system could be established by unambiguously assigned NOE contacts between the bridging side chains. Model building based on NMR constraints resulted in a U-shaped topology of the tetracyclic 19-peptides with a turn around Pro9 and a kink along a virtual line from residues 5 to 13. This clamp-like conformation is stabilized by the thioether bridges and is additionally supported by an antiparallel beta-strand-like structure of the N-termini and C-termini and the inherent amphiphilicity of duramycin-type lantibiotics. The duramycins B and C differ mainly in the relative mobilities of their rings A, C and D. Duramycin B is closely related to cinnamycin with an exchange of Phe10 to leucine, whereas duramycin C differs from duramycin B by three conserved and two non-conserved amino-acid exchanges.
2. Mode of action of the lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotics duramycin, duramycin B and C, and cinnamycin as indirect inhibitors of phospholipase A2
F Märki, E Hänni, A Fredenhagen, J van Oostrum Biochem Pharmacol. 1991 Oct 24;42(10):2027-35. doi: 10.1016/0006-2952(91)90604-4.
Effects of the lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotics duramycin, duramycin B, duramycin C and cinnamycin on the activity of phospholipase A2 from six different sources were studied, and their mode of action was investigated. The four antibiotics inhibited potently all tested phospholipases A2, with IC50 values of around 1 microM, using phosphatidylethanolamine or [1-14C]oleate-labelled Escherichia coli, whose phospholipids are rich in phosphatidylethanolamine, as substrates. No inhibition was observed when the substrate was phosphatidylcholine. Binding of the antibiotics to the lipid fraction of E. coli could be demonstrated by co-sedimentation with whole, but not with lipid-depleted E. coli. In addition, preincubation of duramycin B with vesicles of phosphatidylethanolamine, but not those of phosphatidylcholine, prevented the inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity. The interaction of duramycin B and C, but not that of the biologically inactive compounds actagardine and the duramycin B trisulphoxide, with phosphatidylethanolamine was demonstrated using circular dichroism studies. On the other hand, no interaction of duramycin B with phosphatidylcholine could be demonstrated. A strict correlation between the physico-chemical interaction of the studied lantibiotics, demonstrated by circular dichroism spectroscopy, and their inhibition of phospholipase A2 was observed. These results suggest that lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotics inhibit phospholipase A2 indirectly by specifically sequestering the substrate phosphatidylethanolamine. This mode of action is analogous to the one described for the protein lipocortin.
3. Cloning and engineering of the cinnamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces cinnamoneus cinnamoneus DSM 40005
D A Widdick, H M Dodd, P Barraille, J White, T H Stein, K F Chater, M J Gasson, M J Bibb Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2003 Apr 1;100(7):4316-21. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0230516100. Epub 2003 Mar 17.
Lantibiotics are ribosomally synthesized oligopeptide antibiotics that contain lanthionine bridges derived by the posttranslational modification of amino acid residues. Here, we describe the cinnamycin biosynthetic gene cluster (cin) from Streptomyces cinnamoneus cinnamoneus DSM 40005, the first, to our knowledge, lantibiotic gene cluster from a high G+C bacterium to be cloned and sequenced. The cin cluster contains many genes not found in lantibiotic clusters from low G+C Gram-positive bacteria, including a Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein regulatory gene, and lacks others found in such clusters, such as a LanT-type transporter and a LanP-type protease. Transfer of the cin cluster to Streptomyces lividans resulted in heterologous production of cinnamycin. Furthermore, modification of the cinnamycin structural gene (cinA) led to production of two naturally occurring lantibiotics, duramycin and duramycin B, closely resembling cinnamycin, whereas attempts to make a more widely diverged derivative, duramycin C, failed to generate biologically active material. These results provide a basis for future attempts to construct extensive libraries of cinnamycin variants.
