    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00439-1 OPEN Biosynthesis of the nosiheptide indole side ring centers on a cryptic carrier protein NosJ Wei Ding1,2,3,4, Wenjuan Ji2, Yujie Wu2,3, Runze Wu2, Wan-Qiu Liu2, Tianlu Mo2, Junfeng Zhao2, Xiaoyan Ma2,3, Wei Zhang4, Ping Xu5, Zixin Deng6, Boping Tang1,YiYu6 & Qi Zhang 2 Nosiheptide is a prototypal thiopeptide antibiotic, containing an indole side ring in addition to its thiopeptide-characteristic macrocylic scaffold. This indole ring is derived from 3-methyl-2- indolic acid (MIA), a product of the radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme NosL, but how MIA is incorporated into nosiheptide biosynthesis remains to be investigated. Here we report functional dissection of a series of enzymes involved in nosiheptide biosynthesis. We show NosI activates MIA and transfers it to the phosphopantetheinyl arm of a carrier protein NosJ. NosN then acts on the NosJ-bound MIA and installs a methyl group on the indole C4, and the resulting dimethylindolyl moiety is released from NosJ by a hydrolase-like enzyme NosK. Surface plasmon resonance analysis show that the molecular complex of NosJ with NosN is much more stable than those with other enzymes, revealing an elegant biosynthetic strategy in which the reaction flux is controlled by protein–protein interactions with different binding affinities. 1 Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Bioresources of Saline Soils, Jiangsu Synthetic Innovation Center for Coastal Bioagriculture, Yancheng Teachers University, Yancheng 224002, China. 2 Department of Chemistry, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China. 3 Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Cell Activities and Stress Adaptations, School of Life Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China.

They possess a single large mitochondrion, essential for the parasite survival2. In kinetoplastids mitochondrion, most of the molecular machineries and gene expression processes have significantly diverged and specialized, with an extreme example being their mitochondrial ribosomes3. These large complexes are in charge of translating the few essential mRNAs encoded by mitochondrial genomes4,5. Structural studies performed in Trypanosoma brucei already highlighted the numerous peculiarities of these mitoribosomes and the maturation of their small subunit3,6. However, several important aspects mainly related to the large subunit remain elusive, such as the structure and maturation of its ribosomal RNA3. Here, we present a cryo-electron microscopy study of the protozoans Leishmania tarentolae and Trypanosoma cruzi mitoribosomes.

  • Complete Genome Sequencing and Antibiotics Biosynthesis Pathways
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete genome sequencing and antibiotics biosynthesis pathways analysis of Streptomyces lydicus Received: 14 December 2016 Accepted: 13 February 2017 103 Published: 20 March 2017 Nan Jia1,2, Ming-Zhu Ding1,2, Hao Luo1,2,3, Feng Gao1,2,3 & Ying-Jin Yuan1,2 More and more new natural products have been found in Streptomyces species, which become the significant resource for antibiotics production. Among them,Streptomyces lydicus has been known as its ability of streptolydigin biosynthesis. Herein, we present the genome analysis of S. lydicus based on the complete genome sequencing. The circular chromosome of S. lydicus 103 comprises 8,201,357 base pairs with average GC content 72.22%. With the aid of KEGG analysis, we found that S. lydicus 103 can transfer propanoate to succinate, glutamine or glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate, CO2 and L-glutamate to ammonia, which are conducive to the the supply of amino acids. S. lydicus 103 encodes acyl-CoA thioesterase II that takes part in biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and harbors the complete biosynthesis pathways of lysine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and isoleucine. Furthermore, a total of 27 putative gene clusters have been predicted to be involved in secondary metabolism, including biosynthesis of streptolydigin, erythromycin, mannopeptimycin, ectoine and desferrioxamine B. Comparative genome analysis of S. lydicus 103 will help us deeply understand its metabolic pathways, which is essential for enhancing the antibiotic production through metabolic engineering. Streptomyces species are high-GC Gram-positive bacteria found predominantly in soil1. Through a complex pro- cess of morphological and physiological differentiation, Streptomyces species could produce many specialized metabolites used for agricultural antibiotics2.

  • Tackling Antibiotic Resistance with Compounds of Natural Origin: a Comprehensive Review

Current antibiotics are losing efficacy and new antimicrobial agents are urgently needed. Living organisms are an invaluable source of antimicrobial compounds. The antimicrobial activity of the most representative natural products of animal, bacterial, fungal and plant origin are reviewed in this paper. Their activity against drug-resistant bacteria, their mechanisms of action, the possible development of resistance against them, their role in current medicine and their future perspectives are discussed. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect were used to search scientific contributions until September 2020, using relevant keywords. Natural compounds of heterogeneous origins have been shown to possess antimicrobial capabilities, including against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The most commonly found mechanisms of antimicrobial action are related to protein biosynthesis and alteration of cell walls and membranes. Various natural compounds, especially phytochemicals, have shown synergistic capacity with antibiotics. There is little literature on the development of specific resistance mechanisms against natural antimicrobial compounds.
