The biosynthetic gene cluster of fungal bioactive sesterterpenoids, variecolin (1) and variecolactone (2), was identified in Aspergillus aculeatus ATCC 16872. Heterologous production of 1 and 2 was achieved in Aspergillus oryzae by expressing the sesterterpene synthase VrcA and the cytochrome P450 VrcB. Intriguingly, the replacement of VrcB with homologous P450s from other fungal terpenoid pathways yielded three new variecolin analogues, one of which exhibited potent anticancer activity comparable to that of 1.

Aborycin is a ribosomally synthesized member of the type I lasso peptide natural products. In the present study, aborycin was isolated and identified from the deep-sea-derived microbe Streptomyces sp. SCSIO ZS0098. The aborycin biosynthetic gene cluster (abo) was identified on the basis of genome sequence analyses and then heterologously expressed in Streptomyces coelicolor M1152 to effectively produce aborycin. Aborycin generated in this fashion exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against 13 Staphylococcus aureus strains from various sources with minimum inhibitory concentrations MICs = 8.0~128 µg/mL, against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 with an MIC = 8.0 µg/mL, and against Bacillus thuringiensis with MIC = 2.0 µg/mL. Additionally, aborycin displayed potent antibacterial activity (MIC = 0.5 µg/mL) against the poultry pathogen Enterococcus gallinarum 5F52C. The reported abo cluster clearly has the potential to provide a means of expanding the repertoire of anti-infective type I lasso peptides.

Abstract Bicyclic peptides, marinostatins, are protease inhibitors derived from the marine bacterium Algicola sagamiensis. The biosynthetic gene cluster of marinostatin was previously identified, although no heterologous production was reported. In this report, the biosynthetic gene cluster of marinostatin (mstA and mstB) was cloned into the expression vector pET-41a(+). As a result of the coexpression experiment, a new analogous peptide named marinostatin E was successfully produced using Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The structure of marinostatin E was determined by a combination of chemical treatments and tandem mass spectrometry experiments. Marinostatin E exhibited inhibitory activities against chymotrypsin and subtilisin with an IC50 of 4.0 and 39.6 μm, respectively.
