[PMID: 38719066 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
This experiment prepared magnetic composite siderophores (DMPs) with strong magnetism, excellent adsorption capacity, and high specific surface area. Exploring the synergistic effect of magnetic nanoparticles and siderophores on Microcystis aeruginosa growth under iron-deficient condition, by utilizing the characteristics of the three-layer core-shell structure of DMPs. This study elucidated the potential mechanism by which DMPs promote the cyanobacterial growth through physiological indicators and transcriptome analysis. On the experiment's final day, cell density in DMPs treatment group at 2, 4, and 8 mg/L were 1.10, 1.14 and 1.16 times higher than those in the control group (Ct), respectively. Similarly, chlorophyll and photosynthetic efficiency results showed improved algae growth with increasing DMPs dosage. The microcystin content in DMPs experimental groups at low, medium, and high concentration were 0.91, 0.86, and 0.83 times that of Ct, indicating alleviation of iron deficiency stress. Additionally, based on extracellular polymers, intracellular and extracellular siderophores, and visualization techniques, DMPs nanoparticles captured free iron sources in the environment, promoting algae growth by entering algal cells and facilitating the uptake and utilization of free iron ions from the solution. During the experiment, the iron uptake and transport genes (feoA and feoB) were significantly upregulated, whereas the algal siderophore synthesis gene (pchF) and the TonB-dependent transport system gene (TonB_C) were significantly downregulated, suggesting heightened activity in intracellular iron uptake and transport. This indicates an abundance of intracellular iron, eliminating the need for secrete siderophores to overcome iron deficiency. Microcystis aeruginosa increased iron bioavailability by using iron transported through DMPs in the environment while internalizing these DMPs. This study explored the mechanism of this synergistic effect to boost algal growth, and provided new ideas for elucidating the mechanism of cyanobacterial bloom outbreaks as well as the innovative application of biotechnology.

Abstract
89Zr-immunoPET is a hot topic as 89Zr cumulates the advantages of 64Cu and 124I without their drawbacks. We report the synthesis of a model ligand of a chiral bioconjugable tetrahydroxamic chelator combining the desferriferrioxamine B siderophore and 1-hydroxy-2-piperidone ((PIPO)H), a chiral cyclic hydroxamic acid derivative, and the study by NMR spectroscopy of its zirconium complex. Nuclear Overhauser effect measurements (ROESY) indicated that the complex exists in the form of two diastereomers, in 77 : 23 ratio, resulting from the combination of the central chiralities at the 3-C of the (PIPO)H component and at the Zr4+ cation. The 44 lowest energy structures out of more than 1000 configurations/conformations returned by calculations based on density functional theory were examined. Comparison of the ROESY data and the calculated interatomic H⋅⋅⋅H distances allowed us to select the most probable configuration and conformations of the major complex.

Abstract
A mild and modular approach to the total synthesis of the WHO-listed essential medicine desferrioxamine B is described. Hydroxamic acid fragments were installed under mild conditions, a generalized divergent acylation procedure used to access two monomer precursors, and a transfer hydrogenation reaction used to unmask the hydroxamic acid moieties. Desferrioxamine B was generated over ten linear steps as the formate salt in 17% overall yield using standard amide coupling conditions or in 13% overall yield using microwave-assisted amide coupling conditions.

Abstract
The Amazon rainforest, an incredibly biodiverse ecosystem, has been increasingly vulnerable to deforestation. Despite its undeniable importance and potential, the Amazonian microbiome has historically received limited study, particularly in relation to its unique arsenal of specialized metabolites. Therefore, in this study our aim was to assess the metabolic diversity and the antifungal activity of actinobacterial strains isolated from the bulk soil of Paullinia cupana, a native crop, in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. Extracts from 24 strains were subjected to UPLC-MS/MS analysis using an integrative approach that relied on the Chemical Structural and Compositional Similarity (CSCS) metric, GNPS molecular networking, and in silico dereplication tools. This procedure allowed the comprehensive understanding of the chemical space encompassed by these actinobacteria, which consists of features belonging to known bioactive metabolite classes and several unannotated molecular families. Among the evaluated strains, five isolates exhibited bioactivity against a panel of soybean fungal phytopathogens (Rhizoctonia solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum). A focused inspection led to the annotation of pepstatins, oligomycins, hydroxamate siderophores and dorrigocins as metabolites produced by these bioactive strains, with potentially unknown compounds also comprising their metabolomes. This study introduces a pragmatic protocol grounded in established and readily available tools for the annotation of metabolites and the prioritization of strains to optimize further isolation of specialized metabolites. Conclusively, we demonstrate the relevance of the Amazonian actinobacteria as sources for bioactive metabolites useful for agriculture. We also emphasize the importance of preserving this biome and conducting more in-depth studies on its microbiota.

Abstract
Two trinuclear oxo-centred iron(III) coordination compounds of monensic and salinomycinic acids (HL) were synthesized and their spectral properties were studied using physicochemical/thermal methods (FT-IR, TG-DTA, TG-MS, EPR, Mössbauer spectroscopy, powder XRD) and elemental analysis. The data suggested the formation of [Fe3(µ3-O)L3(OH)4] and the probable complex structures were modelled using the DFT method. The computed spectral parameters of the optimized constructs were compared to the experimentally measured ones. In each complex, three metal centres were joined together at the axial position by a μ3-O unit to form a {Fe3O}7+ core. The antibiotics monoanions served as bidentate ligands through the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups located at the termini. The carboxylate moieties played a dual role bridging each two metal centres. Hydroxide anions secured the overall neutral character of the coordination species. Mössbauer spectra displayed asymmetric quadrupole doublets that were consistent with the existence of two types of high-spin iron(III) sites with different environments-two Fe[O5] and one Fe[O6] centres. The solid-state EPR studies confirmed the +3 oxidation state of iron with a total spin St = 5/2 per trinuclear cluster. The studied complexes are the first iron(III) coordination compounds of monensin and salinomycin reported so far.

Abstract
Two resins with the hydroxamic acid siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) immobilised as a free ligand or its Fe(iii) complex were prepared to screen the Streptomyces pilosus proteome for proteins involved in siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake. The resin design included a disulfide bond to enable the release of bound proteins under mild reducing conditions. Proteomics analysis of the bound fractions did not identify proteins associated with siderophore-mediated Fe(iii) uptake, but identified nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD), which was enriched on the apo-DFOB-resin but not the Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the control resin. While DFOB is unable to sequester Fe(iii) from sites deeply buried in metalloproteins, the coordinatively unsaturated Ni(ii) ion in NiSOD is present in a surface-exposed loop region at the N-terminus, which might enable partial chelation. The results were consistent with the notion that the apo-DFOB-resin formed a ternary complex with NiSOD, which was not possible for either the coordinatively saturated Fe(iii)-DFOB-resin or the non-coordinating control resin systems. In support, ESI-TOF-MS measurements from a solution of a model Ni(ii)-SOD peptide and DFOB showed signals that correlated with a ternary Ni(ii)-SOD peptide-DFOB complex. Although any biological implications of a DFOB-NiSOD complex are unclear, the work shows that the metal coordination properties of siderophores might influence an array of metal-dependent biological processes beyond those established in iron uptake.

Abstract
Microbial biotechnology plays a crucial role in improving industrial processes, particularly in the production of compounds with diverse applications. In this study, we used bioinformatic approaches to analyze the genomic architecture of Streptomyces albidoflavus MGMM6 and identify genes involved in various metabolic pathways that have significant biotechnological potential. Genome mining revealed that MGMM6 consists of a linear chromosome of 6,932,303 bp, with a high G+C content of 73.5%, lacking any plasmid contigs. Among the annotated genes, several are predicted to encode enzymes such as dye peroxidase, aromatic ring-opening dioxygenase, multicopper oxidase, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, and aromatic ring hydroxylating dioxygenases which are responsible for the biodegradation of numerous endogenous and xenobiotic pollutants. In addition, we identified genes associated with heavy metal resistance, such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium, tellurium, antimony, and bismuth, suggesting the potential of MGMM6 for environmental remediation purposes. The analysis of secondary metabolites revealed the presence of multiple biosynthesis gene clusters responsible for producing compounds with potent antimicrobial and metal-chelating activities. Furthermore, laboratory tests conducted under controlled conditions demonstrated the effectiveness of MGMM6 in inhibiting phytopathogenic microbes, decolorizing and degrading aromatic triphenylmethane dyes, particularly Blue Brilliant G250, from wastewater by up to 98 ± 0.15%. Overall, the results of our study highlight the promising biotechnological potential of S. albidoflavus MGMM6.

Abstract
In vivo and in vitro studies demonstrate that mitochondria in the oocyte, are susceptible to damage by suboptimal pre/pregnancy conditions, such as obesity. These suboptimal conditions have been shown to induce mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) in multiple tissues of the offspring, suggesting that mitochondria of oocytes that pass from mother to offspring, can carry information that can programme mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction of the next generation. They also suggest that transmission of MD could increase the risk of obesity and other metabolic diseases in the population inter- and trans-generationally. In this review, we examined whether MD observed in offspring tissues of high energetic demand, is the result of the transmission of damaged mitochondria from obese mothers' oocytes to the offspring. The contribution of genome-independent mechanisms (namely mitophagy) in this transmission were also explored. Finally, potential interventions aimed at improving oocyte/embryo health were investigated, to see if they may provide an opportunity to halter the generational effects of MD.

Abstract
The natural siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) has been used for targeted PET imaging with 89 Zr before. However, Zr-DFOB has a limited stability and a number of derivatives have been developed with improved chelation properties for zirconium. We describe the synthesis of pseudopeptidic analogues of DFOB with azido side chains. These are termed AZA-DFO (hexadentate) and AZA-DFO* (octadentate) and are assembled via a modular synthesis from Orn-β-Ala and Lys-β-Ala. Nine different chelators have been conjugated to zwitterionic moieties by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The resulting water-soluble chelators form Zr complexes under mild conditions (room temperature for 90 min). Transchelation assays with 1000-fold excess of EDTA and 300-fold excess of DFOB revealed that a short spacing of hydroxamates in (Orn-β-Ala)3-4 leads to improved complex stability compared to a longer spacing in (Lys-β-Ala)3-4 . We found that the alignment of amide groups in the pseudopeptide backbone and the presence of zwitterionic sidechains did not compromise the stability of the Zr-complexes with our chelators. We believe that the octadentate derivative AZA-DFO* is particularly valuable for the preparation of new Zr-chelators for targeted imaging which combine tunable pharmacokinetic properties with high complex stability and fast Zr-complexation kinetics.

Abstract
Desferrioxamine siderophores are assembled by the nonribosomal-peptide-synthetase-independent siderophore (NIS) synthetase enzyme DesD via ATP-dependent iterative condensation of three N1-hydroxy-N1-succinyl-cadaverine (HSC) units. Current knowledge of NIS enzymology and the desferrioxamine biosynthetic pathway does not account for the existence of most known members of this natural product family, which differ in substitution patterns of the N- and C-termini. The directionality of desferrioxamine biosynthetic assembly, N-to-C versus C-to-N, is a longstanding knowledge gap that is limiting further progress in understanding the origins of natural products in this structural family. Here, we establish the directionality of desferrioxamine biosynthesis using a chemoenzymatic approach with stable isotope incorporation and dimeric substrates. We propose a mechanism where DesD catalyzes the N-to-C condensation of HSC units to establish a unifying biosynthetic paradigm for desferrioxamine natural products in Streptomyces.

Abstract
Cancer is the primary cause of human mortality in Japan since 1981. Although numerous novel therapies have been developed and applied in clinics, the number of deaths from cancer is still increasing worldwide. It is time to consider the strategy of cancer prevention more seriously. Here we propose a hypothesis that cancer can be side effects of long time-use of iron and oxygen and that carcinogenesis is an evolution-like cellular events to obtain "iron addiction with ferroptosis-resistance" where genes and environment interact each other. Among the recognized genetic risk factors for carcinogenesis, we here focus on BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene and how environmental factors, including daily life exposure and diets, may impact toward carcinogenesis under BRCA1 haploinsufficiency. Although mice models of BRCA1 mutants have not been successful for decades in generating phenotype mimicking the human counterparts, a rat model of BRCA1 mutant was recently established that reasonably mimics the human phenotype. Two distinct categories of oxidative stress, one by radiation and one by iron-catalyzed Fenton reaction, promoted carcinogenesis in Brca1 rat mutants. Furthermore, mitochondrial damage followed by alteration of iron metabolism finally resulted in ferroptosis-resistance of target cells in carcinogenesis. These suggest a possibility that cancer prevention by active pharmacological intervention may be possible for BRCA1 mutants to increase the quality of their life rather than preventive mastectomy and/or oophorectomy.

Abstract
During the wide utilization of the actinides in medicine, energy, military, and other fields, internal contaminations can profoundly endanger human health and public security. Chelating decorporation agents are the most effective therapies to reduce internal contamination that includes radiological and chemical toxicities. This review introduces the structures of chelating decorporation agents including inorganic salts, polyaminocarboxylic acids, peptides, polyphosphonates, siderophores, calixarenes, polyethylenimines, and fullerenes, and highlights ongoing advances in their designs and mechanisms. However, there are still numerous challenges that block their applications including coordination properties, pharmacokinetic properties, oral bioavailability, limited timing of administration, and toxicity. Therefore, additional efforts are needed to push novel decorporation agents with high efficiency and low toxicity for the treatment of internal contamination by actinides.

Abstract
Severe imbalance in iron metabolism among SARS-CoV-2 infected patients is prominent in every symptomatic (mild, moderate to severe) clinical phase of COVID-19. Phase-I - Hypoxia correlates with reduced O2 transport by erythrocytes, overexpression of HIF-1α, altered mitochondrial bioenergetics with host metabolic reprogramming (HMR). Phase-II - Hyperferritinemia results from an increased iron overload, which triggers a fulminant proinflammatory response - the acute cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Elevated cytokine levels (i.e. IL6, TNFα and CRP) strongly correlates with altered ferritin/TF ratios in COVID-19 patients. Phase-III - Thromboembolism is consequential to erythrocyte dysfunction with heme release, increased prothrombin time and elevated D-dimers, cumulatively linked to severe coagulopathies with life-threatening outcomes such as ARDS, and multi-organ failure. Taken together, Fe-R-H dysregulation is implicated in every symptomatic phase of COVID-19. Fe-R-H regulators such as lactoferrin (LF), hemoxygenase-1 (HO-1), erythropoietin (EPO) and hepcidin modulators are innate bio-replenishments that sequester iron, neutralize iron-mediated free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and improve host defense by optimizing iron metabolism. Due to its pivotal role in 'cytokine storm', ferroptosis is a potential intervention target. Ferroptosis inhibitors such as ferrostatin-1, liproxstatin-1, quercetin, and melatonin could prevent mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, up-regulate antioxidant/GSH levels and abrogate iron overload-induced apoptosis through activation of Nrf2 and HO-1 signaling pathways. Iron chelators such as heparin, deferoxamine, caffeic acid, curcumin, α-lipoic acid, and phytic acid could protect against ferroptosis and restore mitochondrial function, iron-redox potential, and rebalance Fe-R-H status. Therefore, Fe-R-H restoration is a host biomarker-driven potential combat strategy for an effective clinical and post-recovery management of COVID-19.

Abstract
Pyoverdines (PVDs) are a class of siderophores produced mostly by members of the genus Pseudomonas. Their primary function is to accumulate, mobilize, and transport iron necessary for cell metabolism. Moreover, PVDs also play a crucial role in microbes’ survival by mediating biofilm formation and virulence. In this review, we reorganize the information produced in recent years regarding PVDs biosynthesis and pathogenic mechanisms, since PVDs are extremely valuable compounds. Additionally, we summarize the therapeutic applications deriving from the PVDs’ use and focus on their role as therapeutic target themselves. We assess the current biotechnological applications of different sectors and evaluate the state-of-the-art technology relating to the use of synthetic biology tools for pathway engineering. Finally, we review the most recent methods and techniques capable of identifying such molecules in complex matrices for drug-discovery purposes.

Abstract
Background Previous meta-analysis had concluded that desferrioxamine mesylate (DFO) could effectively treat intracerebral hematoma (ICH) in animal models. We hope to confirm that DFO could treat ICH patients effectively through the systemic review and meta-analysis of clinical researches. Method Data extraction included hematoma volume (HV), reduction of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, and relative perihematomal edema (RPHE). The standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated by fixed effects model. I-square (I2) statistic was used to test the heterogeneity. All p values were two-side with a significant level at 0.05. Results Five randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis, which included 239 patients. At 7 days after onset, there was significant difference of RPHE development (− 1.87 (− 2.22, − 1.51) (I2 = 0, p = 0.639)) and significant difference of HV absorption (− 0.71 (− 1.06, 0.36) (I2 = 17.5%, p = 0.271)) between DFO and control groups. There was significant difference of reduction of NHISS scores (0.25 (0.05, 0.46) (I2 = 0, p = 0.992)) between DFO and control groups at 30 days after onset. Conclusion DFO reduced HV and perihematomal edema in ICH patients at 7 days after onset and improve neurological function at 30 days after onset efficiently and safely. DFO might be a new route of improving treatment of ICH.

Abstract
Siderophores are conditionally essential metabolites used by microbes for environmental iron sequestration. Most Streptomyces strains produce hydroxamate-based desferrioxamine (DFO) siderophores composed of repeating units of N1-hydroxy-cadaverine (or N1-hydroxy-putrescine) and succinate. The DFO biosynthetic operon, desABCD, is highly conserved in Streptomyces; however, expression of desABCD alone does not account for the vast structural diversity within this natural product class. Here, we report the in vitro reconstitution and biochemical characterization of four DesD orthologs from Streptomyces strains that produce unique DFO siderophores. Under in vitro conditions, all four DesD orthologs displayed similar saturation steady-state kinetics (Vmax = 0.9–2.5 μM⋅min−1) and produced the macrocyclic trimer DFOE as the favored product, suggesting a conserved role for DesD in the biosynthesis of DFO siderophores. We further synthesized a structural mimic of N1-hydroxy-N1-succinyl-cadaverine (HSC)-acyl-adenylate, the HSC-acyl sulfamoyl adenosine analog (HSC-AMS), and obtained crystal structures of DesD in the ATP-bound, AMP/PPi-bound, and HSC-AMS/Pi-bound forms. We found HSC-AMS inhibited DesD orthologs (IC50 values = 48–53 μM) leading to accumulation of linear trimeric DFOG and di-HSC at the expense of macrocyclic DFOE. Addition of exogenous PPi enhanced DesD inhibition by HSC-AMS, presumably via stabilization of the DesD–HSC-AMS complex, similar to the proposed mode of adenylate stabilization where PPi remains buried in the active site. In conclusion, our data suggest that acyl-AMS derivatives may have utility as chemical probes and bisubstrate inhibitors to reveal valuable mechanistic and structural insight for this unique family of adenylating enzymes.

Abstract
Two endophytic actinobacteria, strains SBTS01T and W18L9T, were isolated from leaf sheath and leaf tissue, respectively, of Jasmine rice (Oryza sativa KDML 105) grown in a rice paddy field in Roi Et Province, Thailand. A polyphasic taxonomic study showed that both strains belong to the genus Streptomyces; they are aerobic, forming well-developed substrate mycelia and aerial mycelia with long chains of spores. Strain SBTS01T shares high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Streptomyces rochei NRRL B-2410 T (99.0%) and Streptomyces naganishii NRRL ISP-5282 T (99.0%). Strain W18L9T shares high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Streptomyces shenzhenensis DSM 42034 T (99.7%). The genotypic and phenotypic properties of strains SBTS01T and W18L9T distinguish these two strains from the closely related species with validly published names. The genome analysis showed the dDDH, ANIb and ANIm values of the draft genome between strain SBTS01T and its close neighbour in the phylogenomic tree, Streptomyces corchorusii DSM 40340T to be 54.1, 92.6, and 94.3%, respectively; similarly for strain W18L9T and the closely related species S. shenzhenensis DSM 42034 T values were 72.5, 95.1 and 97.0%. The name proposed for the new species represented by the type strain SBTS01T is Streptomyces spinosus (= NRRL B-65636 T = TBRC 15052T). The name proposed for the novel subspecies of strain W18L9T is Streptomyces shenzhenensis subsp. oryzicola (= NRRL B-65635 T = TBRC 15051T). Recognition of this subspecies also permits the description of Streptomyces shenzhenensis subsp. shenzhenensis. Strains SBTS01T and W18L9T can produce antibiotic against rice and human pathogens and showed plant growth promoting properties such as production of indole acetic acid, cytokinin, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, siderophores and cellulase. Genomic data mining of these two strains confirmed their potential as antibiotic producers and plant growth promoters. Their genomes contain multiple biosynthetic gene clusters including those for terpene, type 1, 2 and 3 polyketide synthase, Non-ribosomal peptide synthetase and lanthipeptides. Genes encoding plant growth promoting traits such; nitrogen fixation, ACC deaminase, siderophore production and stress-related adaption may have ecological significance.

Synergistic use of siderophores and weak organic ligands during zinc transport in the rhizosphere controlled by pH and ion strength gradients. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6774.

Abstract
Citrate (Cit) and Deferoxamine B (DFOB) are two important organic ligands coexisting in soils with distinct different affinities for metal ions. It has been theorized that siderophores and weak organic ligands play a synergistic role during the transport of micronutrients in the rhizosphere, but the geochemical controls of this process remain unknown. Here we test the hypothesis that gradients in pH and ion strength regulate and enable the cooperation. To this end, first we use potentiometric titrations to identify the dominant Zn(II)–Cit and Zn(II)–DFOB complexes and to determine their ionic strength dependent stability constants between 0 and 1 mol dm−3. We parametrise the Extended Debye-Hückel (EDH) equation and determine accurate intrinsic association constants (logβ0) for the formation of the complexes present. The speciation model developed confirms the presence of [Zn(Cit)]−, [Zn(HCit)], [Zn2(Cit)2(OH)2]4−, and [Zn(Cit)2]4−, with [Zn(Cit)]− and [Zn2(Cit)2(OH)2]4− the dominant species in the pH range relevant to rhizosphere. We propose the existence of a new [Zn(Cit)(OH)3]4− complex above pH 10. We also verify the existence of two hexadentate Zn(II)–DFOB species, i.e., [Zn(DFOB)]− and [Zn(HDFOB)], and of one tetradentate species [Zn(H2DFOB)]+. Second, we identify the pH and ionic strength dependent ligand exchange points (LEP) of Zn with citrate and DFOB and the stability windows for Zn(II)–Cit and Zn(II)–DFOB complexes in NaCl and rice soil solutions. We find that the LEPs fall within the pH and ionic strength gradients expected in rhizospheres and that the stability windows for Zn(II)–citrate and Zn(II)–DFOB, i.e., low and high affinity ligands, can be distinctly set off. This suggests that pH and ion strength gradients allow for Zn(II) complexes with citrate and DFOB to dominate in different parts of the rhizosphere and this explains why mixtures of low and high affinity ligands increase leaching of micronutrients in soils. Speciation models of soil solutions using newly determined association constants demonstrate that the presence of dissolved organic matter and inorganic ligands (i.e., bicarbonate, phosphate, sulphate, or chlorides) do neither affect the position of the LEP nor the width of the stability windows significantly. In conclusion, we demonstrate that cooperative and synergistic ligand interaction between low and high affinity ligands is a valid mechanism for controlling zinc transport in the rhizosphere and possibly in other environmental reservoirs such as in the phycosphere. Multiple production of weak and strong ligands is therefore a valid strategy of plants and other soil organisms to improve access to micronutrients.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of the hydroxamic acid siderophore desferrioxamine D1 (DFOD1, 6), which is the N-acetylated analogue of desferrioxamine B (DFOB, 5), has been delineated. Enzyme-independent Ac-CoA-mediated N-acetylation of 5 produced 6, in addition to three constitutional isomers containing an N-O-acetyl group installed at either one of the three hydroxamic acid groups of 5. The formation of N-Ac-DFOB (DFOD1, 6) and the composite of N-O-acetylated isomers N-O-Ac-DFOB[001] (6a), N-O-Ac-DFOB[010] (6b), and N-O-Ac-DFOB[100] (6c) (defined as the N-O-Ac motif positioned within the terminal amine, internal, or N-acetylated region of 5, respectively), was pH-dependent, with 6a-6c dominant at pH < 8.5 and 6 dominant at pH > 8.5. The trend in the pH dependence was consistent with the pKa values of the NH3+ (pKa ∼ 10) and N-OH (pKa ∼ 8.5-9) groups in 5. The N- and N-O-acetyl motifs can be conceived as a post-biosynthetic modification (PBM) of a nonproteinaceous secondary metabolite, akin to a post-translational modification (PTM) of a protein. The pH-labile N-O-acetyl group could act as a reversible switch to modulate the properties and functions of secondary metabolites, including hydroxamic acid siderophores. An alternative (most likely minor) biosynthetic pathway for 6 showed that the nonribosomal peptide synthetase-independent siderophore synthetase DesD was competent in condensing N'-acetyl-N-succinyl-N-hydroxy-1,5-diaminopentane (N'-Ac-SHDP, 7) with the dimeric hydroxamic acid precursor (AHDP-SHDP, 4) native to 5 biosynthesis to generate 6. The strategy of diversifying protein structure and function using PTMs could be paralleled in secondary metabolites with the use of PBMs.

Abstract
Beneficial interactions between plants and some bacterial species have been long recognized, as they proved to exert various growth-promoting and health-protective activities on economically relevant crops. In this study, the growth promoting and antifungal activity of six bacterial strains, Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens, Beijerinckia fluminensis, Pseudomonas protegens, Arthrobacter sp., Arthrobacter defluii, and Arthrobacter nicotinovorans, were investigated. The tested strains resulted positive for some plant growth promoting (PGP) traits, such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate-deaminase (ACC-deaminase), siderophore production, and solubilization of phosphates. The effect of the selected bacteria on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings growth was assessed using different morphological parameters. Bacterial activity against the phytopathogenic fungal species Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium proliferatum, and Fusarium verticillioides was also assessed, since these cause major yield losses in cereal crops and are well-known mycotoxin producers. Strains Pvr_9 (B. fluminensis) and PHA_1 (P. protegens) showed an important growth-promoting effect on A. thaliana coupled with a high antifungal activity on all the three fungal species. The analysis of bacterial broths through ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) confirmed the presence of potential PGP-compounds, among these are desferrioxamine B, aminochelin, asperchrome B, quinolobactin siderophores, and salicylic acid.

Abstract
A reduction in blood supply to any limb causes ischaemia, pain and morbidity. Critical limb ischaemia is the most serious presentation of peripheral vascular disease. One in five patients with critical limb ischaemia will die within six months of diagnosis and one in three will require amputation in this time. Improving blood flow to the limb, via the administration of angiogenic agents, could relieve pain and avoid amputation. Herein, chitosan is combined with β-glycerophosphate to form a thermoresponsive formulation (chitosan/β-GP) that will flow through a syringe and needle at room temperature but will form a gel at body temperature. The chitosan/β-GP hydrogel, with or without the angiogenic molecule desferrioxamine (DFO), was injected into the mouse hind limb, following vessel ligation, to test the ability of the formulations to induce angiogenesis. The effects of the formulations were measured using laser Doppler imaging to determine limb perfusion and CD31 staining to quantify the number of blood vessels. Twenty-eight days following induction of ischaemia, the chitosan/β-GP and chitosan/β-GP + 100 µM DFO formulations had significantly (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively) improved blood flow in the ischaemic limb compared with an untreated control. Chitosan/β-GP increased vessel number by 1.7-fold in the thigh of the ischaemic limb compared with an untreated control, while chitosan/β-GP + 100 µM DFO increased vessel number 1.8-fold. Chitosan/β-GP represents a potential minimally invasive treatment for critical limb ischaemia.

Abstract
Anthropogenic radionuclides, including long-lived heavy actinides such as americium and curium, represent the primary long-term challenge for management of nuclear waste. The potential release of these wastes into the environment necessitates understanding their interactions with biogeochemical compounds present in nature. Here, we characterize the interactions between the heavy actinides, Am3+ and Cm3+, and the natural lanthanide-binding protein, lanmodulin (LanM). LanM is produced abundantly by methylotrophic bacteria, including Methylorubrum extorquens, that are widespread in the environment. We determine the first stability constant for an Am3+-protein complex (Am3LanM) and confirm the results with Cm3LanM, indicating a ∼5-fold higher affinity than that for lanthanides with most similar ionic radius, Nd3+ and Sm3+, and making LanM the strongest known heavy actinide-binding protein. The protein's high selectivity over 243Am's daughter nuclide 239Np enables lab-scale actinide-actinide separations as well as provides insight into potential protein-driven mobilization for these actinides in the environment. The luminescence properties of the Cm3+-LanM complex, and NMR studies of Gd3+-LanM, reveal that lanmodulin-bound f-elements possess two coordinated solvent molecules across a range of metal ionic radii. Finally, we show under a wide range of environmentally relevant conditions that lanmodulin effectively outcompetes desferrioxamine B, a hydroxamate siderophore previously proposed to be important in trivalent actinide mobility. These results suggest that natural lanthanide-binding proteins such as lanmodulin may play important roles in speciation and mobility of actinides in the environment; it also suggests that protein-based biotechnologies may provide a new frontier in actinide remediation, detection, and separations.

Abstract
Deferoxamine B is an outstanding molecule which has been widely studied in the past decade for its ability to bind iron and many other metal ions. The versatility of this metal chelator makes it suitable for a number of medicinal and analytical applications, from the well-known iron chelation therapy to the most recent use in sensor devices. The three bidentate hydroxamic functional groups of deferoxamine B are the centerpiece of its metal binding ability, which allows the formation of stable complexes with many transition, lanthanoid and actinoid metal ions. In addition to the ferric ion, in fact, more than 20 different metal complexes of deferoxamine b have been characterized in terms of their chemical speciation in solution. In addition, the availability of a terminal amino group, most often not involved in complexation, opens the way to deferoxamine B modification and functionalization. This review aims to collect and summarize the available data concerning the complex-formation equilibria in solutions of deferoxamine B with different metal ions. A general overview of the progress of its applications over the past decade is also discussed, including the treatment of iron overload-associated diseases, its clinical use against cancer and neurodegenerative disorders and its role as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
An endophytic actinobacterium, strain CAP261T was isolated from the surface sterilized root of Callitris preissii (Australian native pine tree). As a result of a polyphasic taxonomy study, this strain was identified as a member of the genus Streptomyces. This strain was an aerobic actinobacterium with well-developed substrate mycelia with loop spore chains and the spore surfaces are verrucose. The closest phylogenetic members which shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity was Streptomyces bottropensis ATCC 25435 T at 98.1%. Chemotaxonomic data including cell wall components, major menaquinones, and major fatty acids confirmed the affiliation of strain CAP261T to the genus Streptomyces. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, including physiological and biochemical studies in combination with genome comparison study, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain CAP261T and the closest species with validly published names. ANIb, ANIm and dDDH values of strain CAP261T and S. bottropensis ATCC 25435 T were 86.7%, 89.2% and 33.9%, respectively. The name proposed for the new species is Streptomyces adelaidensis sp. nov. The type strain is CAP261T (= DSM 42026 T = NRRL B-24814 T).

Abstract
N-hydroxylating flavin-dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) are involved in the biosynthesis of hydroxamate siderophores, playing a key role in microbial virulence. Herein, we report the first structural and kinetic characterization of a novel alkyl diamine N-hydroxylase DesB from Streptomyces sviceus (SsDesB). This enzyme catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of desferrioxamine B, a clinical drug used to treat iron overload disorders. X-ray crystal structures of the SsDesB holoenzyme with FAD and the ternary complex with bound NADP+ were solved at 2.86 Å and 2.37 Å resolution, respectively, providing a structural view of the active site environment. SsDesB crystallized as a tetramer and the structure of the individual protomers closely resembles the structures of homologous N-hydroxylating FMOs from Erwinia amylovora (DfoA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PvdA), and Aspergillus fumigatus (SidA). Using NADPH oxidation, oxygen consumption, and product formation assays, kinetic parameters were determined for various substrates with SsDesB. SsDesB exhibited typical saturation kinetics with substrate inhibition at high concentrations of NAD(P)H as well as cadaverine. The apparent kcat values for NADPH in steady-state NADPH oxidation and oxygen consumption assays were 0.28 ± 0.01 s-1 and 0.24 ± 0.01 s-1, respectively. However, in product formation assays used to measure the rate of N-hydroxylation, the apparent kcat for NADPH (0.034 ± 0.008 s-1) was almost 10-fold lower under saturating FAD and cadaverine concentrations, reflecting an uncoupled reaction, and the apparent NADPH KM was 33 ± 24 μM. Under saturating FAD and NADPH concentrations, the apparent kcat and KM for cadaverine in Csaky assays were 0.048 ± 0.004 s-1 and 19 ± 9 μM, respectively. SsDesB also N-hydroxylated putrescine, spermidine, and L-lysine substrates but not alkyl (di)amines that were branched or had fewer than four methylene units in an alkyl chain. These data demonstrate that SsDesB has wider substrate scope compared to other well-studied ornithine and lysine N-hydroxylases, making it an amenable biocatalyst for the production of desferrioxamine B, derivatives, and other N-substituted products.

Abstract
![]()
Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one was identified through high-throughput whole-cell
screening
as a potential antituberculosis lead. The core of this scaffold has
been identified several times previously and has been associated with
various modes of action against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We explored this scaffold through the synthesis
of a focused library of analogues and identified key features of the
pharmacophore while achieving substantial improvements in antitubercular
activity. Our best hits had low cytotoxicity and showed promising
activity against Mtb within macrophages. The mechanism
of action of these compounds was not related to cell-wall biosynthesis,
isoprene biosynthesis, or iron uptake as has been found for other
compounds sharing this core structure. Resistance to these compounds
was conferred by mutation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent
hydroxylase (Rv1751) that promoted compound catabolism by hydroxylation
from molecular oxygen. Our results highlight the risks of chemical
clustering without establishing mechanistic similarity of chemically
related growth inhibitors.

Abstract
As bacteria readily convert simple starting materials into a diverse array of complex molecules with useful bioactivities, these microorganisms and their biosynthetic machinery represent attractive alternatives to traditional chemical syntheses. While the well-documented divergent evolution of biosynthesis has allowed bacteria to explore wide swaths of natural product chemical space, the convergent evolution of these pathways remains a comparably rare phenomenon. The emergence of similar phenotypes within disparate genetic contexts provides a unique opportunity to probe the limitations of natural selection and the predictability and reproducibility of evolution under different constraints. Here, we report several recent examples of functional and structural convergence of bacterial natural products, as well as intra- and inter-domain convergence of bacterial biosynthetic machinery. While the genetic underpinnings of biosynthetic pathway evolution are of fundamental interest, the evolutionary constraints exemplified by phenotypic convergence also have immediate implications for efforts to engineer microorganisms for therapeutic small molecule production.

Abstract
The siderophore rhizoferrin (N1,N4-dicitrylputrescine) is produced in fungi and bacteria to scavenge iron. Putrescine-producing bacterium Ralstonia pickettii synthesizes rhizoferrin and encodes a single nonribosomal peptide synthetase-independent siderophore (NIS) synthetase. From biosynthetic logic, we hypothesized that this single enzyme is sufficient for rhizoferrin biosynthesis. We confirmed this by expression of R. pickettii NIS synthetase in Escherichia coli, resulting in rhizoferrin production. This was further confirmed in vitro using the recombinant NIS synthetase, synthesizing rhizoferrin from putrescine and citrate. Heterologous expression of homologous lbtA from Legionella pneumophila, required for rhizoferrin biosynthesis in that species, produced siderophore activity in E. coli. Rhizoferrin is also synthesized by Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida, but unlike R. pickettii or L. pneumophila, Francisella species lack putrescine biosynthetic pathways because of genomic decay. Francisella encodes a NIS synthetase FslA/FigA and an ornithine decarboxylase homolog FslC/FigC, required for rhizoferrin biosynthesis. Ornithine decarboxylase produces putrescine from ornithine, but we show here in vitro that FigA synthesizes N-citrylornithine, and FigC is an N-citrylornithine decarboxylase that together synthesize rhizoferrin without using putrescine. We co-expressed F. novicida figA and figC in E. coli and produced rhizoferrin. A 2.1 Å X-ray crystal structure of the FigC N-citrylornithine decarboxylase reveals how the larger substrate is accommodated and how active site residues have changed to recognize N-citrylornithine. FigC belongs to a new subfamily of alanine racemase-fold PLP-dependent decarboxylases that are not involved in polyamine biosynthesis. These data reveal a natural product biosynthetic workaround that evolved to bypass a missing precursor and re-establish it in the final structure.

Abstract
Iron plays an essential role in all living cells because of its unique chemical properties. It is also the most abundant trace element in mammals. However, when iron is present in excess or inappropriately located, it becomes toxic. Excess iron can become involved in free radical formation, resulting in oxidative stress and cellular damage. Iron chelators are used to treat serious pathological disorders associated with systemic iron overload. Hydroxypyridinones stand out for their outstanding chelation properties, including high selectivity for Fe3+ in the biological environment, ease of derivatization, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we overview the potential for multifunctional hydroxypyridinone-based chelators to be used as therapeutic agents against a wide range of diseases associated either with systemic or local elevated iron levels.

Abstract
Because of the numerous industrial applications of lead (Pb), Pb poisoning is an important public health threat in the world particularly in developing and industrialized countries. Oxidative stress is one of the important mechanisms of Pb-mediated toxicity. Deferoxamine (DFO) is an iron chelating agent that has recently shown antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects. This study investigated the protective capacity of DFO against Pb-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. We used five groups in this study: control, DFO (300 mg/kg), Pb (50 mg/kg), DFO (150 mg/kg) + Pb, DFO (300 mg/kg) + Pb. DFO was administered intraperitoneally 30 min before intraperitoneal injection of Pb for 5 days. After drug treatment, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH), and antioxidant enzymes were measured in serum and heart samples. The results showed that pretreatment with DFO reduced Pb-induced oxidative stress markers in serum and cardiac tissues. We found that LDH and LPO levels were significantly increased in Pb-treated rats and decreased with DFO pre-administration. Furthermore, the decreased activities of total antioxidant capacity, and GSH were observed after Pb treatment. However, DFO administration effectively prevented the Pb-induced alterations of these antioxidant enzymes activities. In conclusion, the results presented here indicate that DFO has protective effects in Pb-induced cardiotoxicity in rats, probably due to its antioxidant action and inhibition of oxidative stress.

Zheng J, Guo Y, Hu B, Zhu L, Yang Y, Li S, Li N, Liu H. Serum metabolomic profiles reveal the impact of BuZangTongLuo formula on metabolic pathways in diabetic mice with hindlimb ischemia. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 258:112928. [PMID: 32371144 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE BuZangTongLuo Formula (BZTLF) was the decoction of eight traditional Chinese medicines including Astragalus membranaceus, Dioscorea opposita, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, Panax ginseng, Fritillariae cirrhosae and Whitmania pigra. This formula has been used as an effective remedy for treatment of diabetic ischemia clinically. AIM OF THE STUDY In previous study, we have reported the therapeutic effect of BZTLF on diabetic vascular dysfunction. However, it remains obscure about the role of metabolic pathways in BZTLF-initiated improvement on hindlimb ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetic mice with hindlimb ischemia were orally administrated with BZTLF by gavage. The serum samples were prepared for untargeted metabolomic analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer. The metabolic network was built by integrating metabolite data with the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset (GSE3313). Further, quantitative PCR was used to confirm the key target genes. RESULTS BZTLF treatment remarkably led to the reversal of changed metabolite levels in serum of diabetic mice with hindlimb ischemia, which mainly derived from bacteria, plant and signaling molecules. Also, BZTLF reshaped the metabolic pathways, especially those responsible for metabolism of lipid, gluthanine and tryptophan. In addition, BZTLF led to the reduction of lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) and increment of triglycerides (TGs) conjugation with non-saturated fatty acids in serum. BZTLF significantly restored the down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or the up-regulation of interleukin 4-induced 1 (IL4I1) and cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily B member 1 (CYP1B1) at mRNA level, which were key regulatory genes located in metabolic pathways of glutamate and tryptophan. CONCLUSIONS BZTLF improved hindlimb ischemia in diabetic mice by the positive regulation of metabolome changes in serum.

Abstract
The traditional iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) has been widely used in the treatment of iron overload disease. However, DFO has congenital disadvantages, including a very short circular time and non-negligible toxicity. Herein, we designed a novel multi-arm conjugate for prolonging DFO duration in vivo and reducing cytotoxicity. The star-like 8-arm-polyethylene glycol (8-arm-PEG) was used as the macromolecular scaffold, and DFO molecules were bound to the terminals of the PEG branches via amide bonds. The conjugates displayed comparable iron binding ability to the free DFO. Furthermore, these macromolecule conjugates could significantly reduce the cytotoxicity of the free DFO, and showed satisfactory iron clearance capability in the iron overloaded macrophage RAW 246.7. The plasma half-life of the 8-arm-PEG-DFO conjugate was about 190 times than that of DFO when applied to an intravenously administered rat model. In conclusion, research indicated that these star-like PEG-based conjugates could be promising candidates as long circulating, less toxic iron chelators.

Abstract
Covering: 2008 up to 2019The forces of biochemical adaptive evolution operate at the level of genes, manifesting in complex phenotypes and the global biodiversity of proteins and metabolites. While evolutionary histories have been deciphered for some other complex traits, the origins of natural product biosynthesis largely remain a mystery. This fundamental knowledge gap is surprising given the many decades of research probing the genetic, chemical, and biophysical mechanisms of bacterial natural product biosynthesis. Recently, evolutionary thinking has begun to permeate this otherwise mechanistically dominated field. Natural products are now sometimes referred to as 'specialized' rather than 'secondary' metabolites, reinforcing the importance of their biological and ecological functions. Here, we review known evolutionary mechanisms underlying the overwhelming chemical diversity of bacterial secondary metabolism, focusing on enzyme promiscuity and the evolution of enzymatic domains that enable metabolic traits. We discuss the mechanisms that drive the assembly of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters and propose formal definitions for 'specialized' and 'secondary' metabolism. We further explore how biosynthetic gene clusters evolve to synthesize related molecular species, and in turn how the biological and ecological roles that emerge from metabolic diversity are acted on by selection. Finally, we reconcile chemical, functional, and genetic data into an evolutionary model, the dynamic chemical matrix evolutionary hypothesis, in which the relationships between chemical distance, biomolecular activity, and relative fitness shape adaptive landscapes.

Abstract
Substituted hydroxamic acid is one of the most extensively studied pharmacophores because of their ability to chelate biologically important metal ions to modulate various enzymes, such as HDACs, urease, metallopeptidase, and carbonic anhydrase. Syntheses and biological studies of various classes of hydroxamic acid derivatives have been reported in numerous research articles in recent years but this is the first review article dedicated to their synthetic methods and their application for the synthesis of these novel molecules. In this review article, commercially available reagents and preparation of hydroxylamine donating reagents have also been described.

Analogues of desferrioxamine B (DFOB) with new properties and new functions generated using precursor-directed biosynthesis. Biometals 2019; 32:395-408.

Abstract
Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) is a siderophore native to Streptomyces pilosus biosynthesised by the DesABCD enzyme cluster as a high affinity Fe(III) chelator. Although DFOB has a long clinical history for the treatment of chronic iron overload, limitations encourage the development of new analogues. This review describes a recent body of work that has used precursor-directed biosynthesis (PDB) to access new DFOB analogues. PDB exploits the native biosynthetic machinery of a producing organism in culture medium augmented with non-native substrates that compete against native substrates during metabolite assembly. The method allows access to analogues of natural products using benign methods, compared to multistep organic synthesis. The disadvantages of PDB are the production of metabolites in low yield and the need to purify complex mixtures. Streptomyces pilosus medium was supplemented with different types of non-native diamine substrates to compete against native 1,5-diaminopentane to generate DFOB analogues containing alkene bonds, fluorine atoms, ether or thioether functional groups, or a disulfide bond. All analogues retained function as Fe(III) chelators and have properties that could broaden the utility of DFOB. These PDB studies have also added knowledge to the understanding of DFOB biosynthesis.

Abstract
Most of the phylogenetic diversity of life is found in bacteria and archaea, and is reflected in the diverse metabolism and functions of bacterial and archaeal polyamines. The polyamine spermidine was probably present in the last universal common ancestor, and polyamines are known to be necessary for critical physiological functions in bacteria, such as growth, biofilm formation, and other surface behaviors, and production of natural products, such as siderophores. There is also phylogenetic diversity of function, indicated by the role of polyamines in planktonic growth of different species, ranging from absolutely essential to entirely dispensable. However, the cellular molecular mechanisms responsible for polyamine function in bacterial growth are almost entirely unknown. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms of essential polyamine functions in archaea are better understood: covalent modification by polyamines of translation factor aIF5A and the agmatine modification of tRNAIle As with bacterial hyperthermophiles, archaeal thermophiles require long-chain and branched polyamines for growth at high temperatures. For bacterial species in which polyamines are essential for growth, it is still unknown whether the molecular mechanisms underpinning polyamine function involve covalent or noncovalent interactions. Understanding the cellular molecular mechanisms of polyamine function in bacterial growth and physiology remains one of the great challenges for future polyamine research.

Abstract
The siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB, 1) native to Streptomyces pilosus is biosynthesized by the DesABCD enzyme cluster. DesA-mediated decarboxylation of l-lysine gives 1,5-diaminopentane (DP) for processing by DesBCD. S. pilosus culture medium was supplemented with rac-1,4-diamino-2-fluorobutane ( rac-FDB) to compete against DP to generate fluorinated analogues of DFOB, as agents of potential clinical interest. LC-MS/MS analysis identified fluorinated analogues of DFOB with one, two, or three DP units (binary notation: 0) exchanged for one (DFOA-F1[001] (2), DFOA-F1[010] (3), DFOA-F1[100] (4)), two (DFOA-F2[011] (5), DFOA-F2[110] (6), DFOA-F2[101] (7)), or three (DFOA-F3[111] (8)) rac-FDB units (binary notation: 1). The two sets of constitutional isomers 2-4 and 5-7 arose from the position of the substrates in the N-acetyl, internal, or amine-containing regions of the DFOB trimer. N-Acetylated fluorinated DFOB analogues were formed where the rac-FDB substrate was positioned in the amine region ( e.g., N-Ac-DFOA-F1[001] (2a)). Other analogues contained two hydroxamic acid groups and three amide bonds. Experiments using rac-FDB, R-FDB, or S-FDB showed a similar species profile between rac-FDB and R-FDB. These data are consistent with the following. (i) DesB can act on rac-FDB. (ii) DesC can act directly on rac-FDB. (iii) The products of DesBC or DesC catalysis of rac-FDB can undergo a second round of DesC catalysis at the free amine. (iv) DesD catalysis of these products gives N, N'-diacetylated compounds. (v) A minimum of two hydroxamic acid groups is required to form a viable DesD-substrate(s) precomplex. (vi) One or more DesBCD-catalyzed steps in DFOB biosynthesis is enantioselective. This work has provided a potential path to access fluorinated analogues of DFOB and new insight into its biosynthesis.

Abstract
Siderophores are a structurally diverse class of natural products common to most bacteria and fungi as iron(III)-chelating ligands. Siderophores, including trihydroxamate ferrioxamines, are used clinically to treat iron overload diseases and show promising activity against many other iron-related human diseases. Here, we present a new method for the isolation of ferrioxamine siderophores from complex mixtures using affinity chromatography based on resin-immobilized FhuD2, a siderophore-binding protein (SBP) from Staphylococcus aureus. The SBP-resin enabled purification of charge positive, charge negative, and neutral ferrioxamine siderophores. Treatment of culture supernatants from Streptomyces violaceus DSM 8286 with SBP-resin provided an analytically pure sample of the salmycins, a mixture of structurally complex glycosylated sideromycins (siderophore-antibiotic conjugates) with potent antibacterial activity toward human pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 7 nM). Siderophore affinity chromatography could enable the rapid discovery of new siderophore and sideromycin natural products from complex mixtures to aid drug discovery and metabolite identification efforts in a broad range of therapeutic areas.

Abstract
Fe(II)-coordinating hexapeptides containing three 2,2'-bipyridine moieties as side chains were designed and synthesized. A cyclic hexapeptide having three [(2,2'-bipyridin)-5-yl]-d-alanine (d-Bpa5) residues, in which d-Bpa5 and Gly are alternately arranged with 3-fold rotational symmetry, coordinated with Fe(II) to form a 1:1 octahedral Fe(II)-peptide complex with a single facial-Λ configuration of the metal-centered chirality. NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the Fe(II)-peptide complex has an apparent C3-symmetric conformations on the NMR time scale, while the peptide backbone is subject to dynamic conformational exchange between three asymmetric β/γ conformations and one C3-symmetric γ/γ/γ conformation. The semirigid cyclic hexapeptide preferentially arranged these conformations of the small octahedral Fe(II)-bipyridine complex, as well as the Ru(II) congener, to underpin the single configuration of the metal-centered chirality.
