Abstract
Fengycin is an important member of the lipopeptide family with a wide range of applications in the agricultural, food, medical and cosmetic industries. However, its commercial application is severely hindered by low productivity and high cost. Therefore, numerous studies have been devoted to improving the production of fengycin. We summarize these studies in this review with the aim of providing a reference and guidance for future researchers. This review begins with an overview of the synthesis mechanism of fengycin via the non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS), and then delves into the strategies for improving the fengycin production in recent years. These strategies mainly include fermentation optimization and metabolic engineering, and the metabolic engineering encompasses enhancement of precursor supply, application of regulatory factors, promoter engineering, and application of genome-engineering (genome shuffling and genome-scale metabolic network model). Finally, we conclude this review with a prospect of fengycin production.

[PMID: 37233756 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12585-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases are mega-enzyme assembly lines that synthesize many clinically useful compounds. As a gatekeeper, they have an adenylation (A)-domain that controls substrate specificity and plays an important role in product structural diversity. This review summarizes the natural distribution, catalytic mechanism, substrate prediction methods, and in vitro biochemical analysis of the A-domain. Taking genome mining of polyamino acid synthetases as an example, we introduce research on mining non-ribosomal peptides based on A-domains. We discuss how non-ribosomal peptide synthetases can be engineered based on the A-domain to obtain novel non-ribosomal peptides. This work provides guidance for screening non-ribosomal peptide-producing strains, offers a method to discover and identify A-domain functions, and will accelerate the engineering and genome mining of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases. KEY POINTS: • Introducing adenylation domain structure, substrate prediction, and biochemical analysis methods • Advances in mining homo polyamino acids based on adenylation domain analysis • Creating new non-ribosomal peptides by engineering adenylation domains.

Mar Drugs 2023; 21:md21040217. [PMID: 37103356 PMCID: PMC10143770 DOI: 10.3390/md21040217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Aeruginosins, a family of nonribosomal linear tetrapeptides discovered from cyanobacteria and sponges, exhibit in vitro inhibitory activity on various types of serine proteases. This family is characterized by the existence of the 2-carboxy-6-hydroxy-octahydroindole (Choi) moiety occupied at the central position of the tetrapeptide. Aeruginosins have attracted much attention due to their special structures and unique bioactivities. Although many studies on aeruginosins have been published, there has not yet been a comprehensive review that summarizes the diverse research ranging from biogenesis, structural characterization and biosynthesis to bioactivity. In this review, we provide an overview of the source, chemical structure as well as spectrum of bioactivities of aeruginosins. Furthermore, possible opportunities for future research and development of aeruginosins were discussed.

Abstract
Two potential non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) were identified in the genome of a guanophilic fungus Amphichorda guana by bioinformatics analysis and gene knockout experiments. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) guided isolation led to the discovery of a new cyclodepsipeptide isaridin H (1) and seven known analogs, desmethylisaridin E (2), isaridin E (3), isariin A (4), iso-isariin B (5), iso-isariin D (6), isariin E (7), and nodupetide (8). The absolute configuration of isaridin H (1) was achieved by Marfey's method. Isaridin H (1) showed significant antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria solani.
