1. Structure Determination, Biosynthetic Origin, and Total Synthesis of Akazaoxime, an Enteromycin-Class Metabolite from a Marine-Derived Actinomycete of the Genus Micromonospora
Yasuhiro Igarashi, Yoe Matsuyuki, Masayuki Yamada, Nodoka Fujihara, Enjuro Harunari, Naoya Oku, Md Rokon Ul Karim, Taehui Yang, Katsuhisa Yamada, Chiaki Imada, Keisuke Fukaya, Daisuke Urabe J Org Chem. 2021 May 7;86(9):6528-6537. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.1c00358. Epub 2021 Apr 22.
A new enteromycin-class antibiotic, akazaoxime (1), possessing an aldoxime functionality in place of O-methyl nitronic acid, was isolated from the cultured extract of a marine-derived actinomycete of the genus Micromonospora, along with known A-76356 (2). The structure of 1, including the absolute stereochemistry of three chiral centers, was established by comprehensive analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry data coupled with magnetic anisotropy analysis of its phenylglycine methyl ester derivatives. The stereochemistry of 2, not determined previously, was proven to be the same as that of 1 on the basis of the similarity of their NMR and specific rotation data. Precursor feeding experiments using 13C-labeled compounds elucidated that the carbon skeletons of 1 and 2 are constructed from propionate (methylmalonate), leucine, and glycine. Establishment of the concise and flexible synthetic route to 1 enabled us to implement biological evaluation of 1 and its unnatural analogues, demonstrating weak to moderate antimicrobial activities of 1 against Gram-positive Kocuria rhizophila [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 50 μg/mL] and those of synthetic analogues against a plant pathogen Glomerella cingulata (MIC of 50 μg/mL) and a human pathogen Trichophyton rubrum (MIC of 25-50 μg/mL).
2. Glycine-derived nitronates bifurcate to O-methylation or denitrification in bacteria
Hai-Yan He, Katherine S Ryan Nat Chem. 2021 Jun;13(6):599-606. doi: 10.1038/s41557-021-00656-8. Epub 2021 Mar 29.
Natural products with rare functional groups are likely to be constructed by unique biosynthetic enzymes. One such rare functional group is the O-methyl nitronate, which can undergo [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with olefins in mild conditions. O-methyl nitronates are found in some natural products; however, how such O-methyl nitronates are assembled biosynthetically is unknown. Here we show that the assembly of the O-methyl nitronate in the natural product enteromycin carboxamide occurs via activation of glycine on a peptidyl carrier protein, followed by reaction with a diiron oxygenase to give a nitronate intermediate and then with a methyltransferase to give an O-methyl nitronate. Guided by the discovery of this pathway, we then identify related cryptic biosynthetic gene cassettes in other bacteria and show that these alternative gene cassettes can, instead, facilitate oxidative denitrification of glycine-derived nitronates. Altogether, our work reveals bifurcating pathways from a central glycine-derived nitronate intermediate in bacteria.
3. Nitroalkane oxidation by streptomycetes
M R Dhawale, U Hornemann J Bacteriol. 1979 Feb;137(2):916-24. doi: 10.1128/jb.137.2.916-924.1979.
Crude cell-free extracts of nine strains of Streptomyces tested for nitroalkane-oxidizing activity showed production of nitrous acid from 2-nitropropane, 1-nitropropane, nitroethane, nitromethane, and 3-nitropropionic acid. These substrates were utilized in most strains but to a decreasing extent in the order given, and different strains varied in their relative efficiency of oxidation. p-Nitrobenzoic acid, p-aminobenzoic acid, enteromycin, and omega-nitro-l-arginine were not attacked. d-Amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and xanthine oxidase, enzymes potentially responsible for the observed oxidations in crude cellfree extracts, were present at concentrations too low to play any significant role. A nitroalkane-oxidizing enzyme from streptozotocin-producing Streptomyces achromogenes subsp. streptozoticus was partially purified and characterized. It catalyzes the oxidative denitrification of 2-nitropropane as follows: 2CH(3)CH(NO(2))CH(3) + O(2) --> 2CH(3)COCH(3) + 2HNO(2). At the optimum pH of 7.5 of the enzyme, 2-nitropropane was as good a substrate as its sodium salt; t-nitrobutane was not a substrate. Whereas Tiron, oxine, and nitroxyl radical acted as potent inhibitors of this enzyme, superoxide dismutase was essentially without effect. Sodium peroxide abolished a lag phase in the progress curve of the enzyme and afforded stimulation, whereas sodium superoxide did not affect the reaction. Reducing agents, such as glutathione, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form, as well as thiol compounds, were strongly inhibitory, but cyanide had no effect. The S. achromogenes enzyme at the present stage of purification is similar in many respects to the enzyme 2-nitropropane dioxygenase from Hansenula mrakii. The possible involvement of the nitroalkane-oxidizing enzyme in the biosynthesis of antibiotics that contain a nitrogen-nitrogen bond is discussed.
