1. Novel aromatic polyketides from soil Streptomyces spp.: purification, characterization and bioactivity studies
Sunita Bundale, Deovrat Begde, Dhanashree Pillai, Karishma Gangwani, Nandita Nashikkar, Tukaram Kadam, Avinash Upadhyay World J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2018 Apr 24;34(5):67. doi: 10.1007/s11274-018-2448-1.
Aromatic polyketides are important therapeutic compounds which include front line antibiotics and anticancer drugs. Since most of the aromatic polyketides are known to be produced by soil dwelling Streptomyces, 54 Streptomyces strains were isolated from the soil samples. Five isolates, R1, B1, R3, R5 and Y8 were found to be potent aromatic polyketide producers and were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Streptomyces spectabilis, Streptomyces olivaceus, Streptomyces purpurascens, Streptomyces coeruleorubidus and Streptomyces lavendofoliae respectively. Their sequences have been deposited in the GenBank under the accession numbers KF468818, KF681280, KF395224, KF527511 and KF681281 respectively. The Streptomyces strains were cultivated in the media following critically optimised culture conditions. The resulting broth extracts were fractionated on a silica gel column and preparative TLC to obtain pure compounds. The pure compounds were tested for bioactivity and the most potent compound from each isolate was identified by UV-Vis, IR and NMR spectroscopic methods. Isolated S. spectabilis (R1), yielded one potent compound identified as dihydrodaunomycin with an MIC of 4 µg/ml against Bacillus cereus and an IC50 value of 24 µM against HeLa. S. olivaceus (B1), yielded a comparatively less potent compound, elloramycin. S. purpurascens (R3) yielded three compounds, rhodomycin, epelmycin and obelmycin. The most potent compound was rhodomycin with an MIC of 2 µg/ml against B. cereus and IC50 of 15 µM against HeLa. S. coeruleorubidus (R5), yielded daunomycin showing an IC50 of 10 µM and also exhibiting antimetastatic properties against HeLa. S. lavendofoliae (Y8), yielded a novel aclacinomycin analogue with IC50 value of 2.9 µM and potent antimetastatic properties at 1 µM concentration against HeLa. The study focuses on the characterization of aromatic polyketides from soil Streptomyces spp., which can serve as potential candidates for development of chemotherapeutic drugs in future.
2. Evolutionary Trajectories for the Functional Diversification of Anthracycline Methyltransferases
Thadée Grocholski, Keith Yamada, Jari Sinkkonen, Heli Tirkkonen, Jarmo Niemi, Mikko Metsä-Ketelä ACS Chem Biol. 2019 May 17;14(5):850-856. doi: 10.1021/acschembio.9b00238. Epub 2019 Apr 23.
Microbial natural products are an important source of chemical entities for drug discovery. Recent advances in understanding the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites has revealed how this rich chemical diversity is generated through functional differentiation of biosynthetic enzymes. For instance, investigations into anthracycline anticancer agents have uncovered distinct S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent proteins: DnrK is a 4-O-methyltransferase involved in daunorubicin biosynthesis, whereas RdmB (52% sequence identity) from the rhodomycin pathway catalyzes 10-hydroxylation. Here, we have mined unknown anthracycline gene clusters and discovered a third protein subclass catalyzing 10-decarboxylation. Subsequent isolation of komodoquinone B from two Streptomyces strains verified the biological relevance of the decarboxylation activity. Phylogenetic analysis inferred two independent routes for the conversion of methyltransferases into hydroxylases, with a two-step process involving loss-of-methylation and gain-of-hydroxylation presented here. Finally, we show that simultaneously with the functional differentiation, the evolutionary process has led to alterations in substrate specificities.
3. Rhodomycin analogues from Streptomyces purpurascens: isolation, characterization and biological activities
Sunita Holkar, Deovrat Begde, Nandita Nashikkar, Tukaram Kadam, Avinash Upadhyay Springerplus. 2013 Mar 9;2(1):93. doi: 10.1186/2193-1801-2-93. Print 2013 Dec.
During a screening program for bioactive natural products, a potential Streptomyces sp was isolated from soil. On the basis of biochemical, cultural, physiological and 16S rRNA gene analysis, it was identified as Streptomyces purpurascens. The isolate was grown in liquid medium and the crude antibiotic complex was obtained by ethyl acetate extraction. Seven purified fractions were obtained by preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Acid hydrolysis of each fraction and subsequent TLC led to the identification of aglycones and sugars indicating these compounds to be Rhodomycin and its analogues. The identity of these compounds was established on the basis of UV-visible and FT-IR spectra and comparison with published data. The compounds were active against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound E, identified as Rhodomycin B, was found to be the most potent compound with an MIC of 2 μg/ml against Bacillus subtilis. Compounds A and F identified as α2-Rhodomycin II and Obelmycin respectively, and Compound E exhibited an IC50 of 8.8 μg/ml against HeLa cell line but no cytotoxicity was found against L929.
