Characterization of the Aminocoumarin Ligase SimL from the Simocyclinone Pathway and Tandem Incubation with NovM,P,N from the Novobiocin Pathway
文摘
Simocyclinone D8 consists of an anguicycline C-glycoside tethered by a tetraene diester linkerto an aminocoumarin. Unlike the antibiotics novobiocin, clorobiocin, and coumermycin A1, the phenolichydroxyl group of the aminocoumarin in simocyclinone is not glycosylated with a decorated noviosylmoiety that is the pharmacophore for targeting bacterial DNA gyrase. We have expressed the Streptomycesantibioticus simocyclinone ligase SimL, purified it from Escherichia coli, and established its ATP-dependentamide bond forming activity with a variety of polyenoic acids including retinoic acid and fumagillin. Wehave then used the last three enzymes from the novobiocin pathway, NovM, NovP, and NovN, to converta SimL product to a novel novobiocin analogue, in which the 3-prenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate of novobiocinis replaced with a tetraenoate moiety, to evaluate antibacterial activity.
