ABSTRACT ZIN, PHYO PHYO KYAW. Development
ABSTRACT ZIN, PHYO PHYO KYAW. Development and Applications of Next-Generation Cheminformatics Approaches (Under the Direction of Dr. Denis Fourches). Cheminformatics is the field that solves chemical problems using computers. In the context of drug discovery, one important goal of cheminformatics is to explore and design potential therapeutic drugs by screening very large chemical libraries in a cost-and-time effective manner. Macrolides are glycosylated macrocyclic lactones with twelve to sixteen atoms in the core cyclic frame. They possess unusual druglike properties, often violating Lipinski’s and Veber’s rules of drug likeness and bioavailability. Gaining insight into this unique structural class can potentially transform our understanding and development of novel antibiotic drugs, which has become critical due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. However, macrolides remain under- exploited due to the difficulty in their organic synthesis, and the lack of publicly available screening-ready virtual libraries of macrolides to perform molecular modeling. To overcome these challenges, it is crucial to develop virtual library generating software to diversify and expand the chemical space of macrolides. Subsequently, these libraries can be used for in silico studies to screen, model and prioritize macrolides to be biosynthesized. Herein, our goal is to implement cheminformatics approaches to construct well-designed and diversity-controlled virtual libraries of screening-ready macrolides. In Chapter 2, we developed a novel cheminformatics approach and software called PKS Enumerator software in order to design virtual macrolide/macrocyclic libraries by permuting and adding the building blocks one by one with multiple user-defined constraints. As a case study, we generated our first sample library of V1M (Virtual 1 million Macrolide scaffolds) using PKS Enumerator and conducted a cheminformatics analysis to determine the chemical diversity of all macrolide scaffolds generated. -

Bornscheuer * Biocatalysis has undergone revolutionary progress in the past century. Benefited by the integration of multidisciplinary technologies, natural enzymatic reactions are constantly being explored. Protein engineering gives birth to robust biocatalysts that are widely used in industrial production. These research achievements have gradually constructed a network containing natural enzymatic synthesis pathways and artificially designed enzymatic cascades. Nowadays, the development of artificial intelligence, automation, and ultra-high-throughput technology provides infinite possibilities for the Received 19th December 2020 discovery of novel enzymes, enzymatic mechanisms and enzymatic cascades, and gradually comple- DOI: 10.1039/d0cs01575j ments the lack of remaining key steps in the pathway design of enzymatic total synthesis.

Engineering Actinomycetes for Biosynthesis of Macrolactone Polyketides Dipesh Dhakal1, Jae Kyung Sohng1,2* and Ramesh Prasad Pandey1,2*
Dhakal et al. Microb Cell Fact (2019) 18:137 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12934-019-1184-z Microbial Cell Factories REVIEW Open Access Engineering actinomycetes for biosynthesis of macrolactone polyketides Dipesh Dhakal1, Jae Kyung Sohng1,2* and Ramesh Prasad Pandey1,2* Abstract Actinobacteria are characterized as the most prominent producer of natural products (NPs) with pharmaceutical importance. The production of NPs from these actinobacteria is associated with particular biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in these microorganisms. The majority of these BGCs include polyketide synthase (PKS) or non-ribosomal pep- tide synthase (NRPS) or a combination of both PKS and NRPS. Macrolides compounds contain a core macro-lactone ring (aglycone) decorated with diverse functional groups in their chemical structures. The aglycon is generated by megaenzyme polyketide synthases (PKSs) from diverse acyl-CoA as precursor substrates. Further, post-PKS enzymes are responsible for allocating the structural diversity and functional characteristics for their biological activities. Mac- rolides are biologically important for their uses in therapeutics as antibiotics, anti-tumor agents, immunosuppressants, anti-parasites and many more. Thus, precise genetic/metabolic engineering of actinobacteria along with the applica- tion of various chemical/biological approaches have made it plausible for production of macrolides in industrial scale or generation of their novel derivatives with more efective biological properties. In this review, we have discussed versatile -

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2004 Dedication To Yuri Acknowledgements I have been very lucky to be working in the Liu lab for all these years. When I was choosing the lab to work in back in Minnesota, a friend of mine advised me to join Ben’s (Hung-wen Liu’s) lab. He said that I may never be the best student in this lab, but I will learn from the best. He was right. Working with Ben and his team was certainly the best way to get the maximum out of my time in the Graduate School. I would like to thank Ben for his supervision and support. Not only did I learn from him a great deal about biochemistry in general and enzymes in particular, but also he was very supportive during my academic endeavors.
