Abstract
Covering: up to 2022Streptomyces are ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments, where they display a fascinating metabolic diversity. As a result, these bacteria are a prolific source of active natural products. One important class of these natural products is the nonribosomal lipopeptides, which have diverse biological activities and play important roles in the lifestyle of Streptomyces. The importance of this class is highlighted by the use of related antibiotics in the clinic, such as daptomycin (tradename Cubicin). By virtue of recent advances spanning chemistry and biology, significant progress has been made in biosynthetic studies on the lipopeptide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces. This review will serve as a comprehensive guide for researchers working in this multidisciplinary field, providing a summary of recent progress regarding the investigation of lipopeptides from Streptomyces. In particular, we highlight the structures, properties, biosynthetic mechanisms, chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis, and biological functions of lipopeptides. In addition, the application of genome mining techniques to Streptomyces that have led to the discovery of many novel lipopeptides is discussed, further demonstrating the potential of lipopeptides from Streptomyces for future development in modern medicine.

Scaling up a virginiamycin production by a high-yield Streptomyces virginiae VKM Ac-2738D strain using adsorbing resin addition and fed-batch fermentation under controlled conditions. 3 Biotech 2016; 6:240. [PMID: 28330311 PMCID: PMC5234532 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-016-0566-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2016] [Accepted: 11/04/2016] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Virginiamycin produced by Streptomyces virginiae as a natural mix of macrocyclic peptidolactones M and S is widely used in the industrial production of ethanol fuel and as an antibiotic feed additive for cattle and poultry. Its main antimicrobial components, M1 and S1 factors, act synergistically if the M1:S1 ratio in the final product is 70-75:25-30. This fact significantly complicates the development of stable high-yield strains suitable for industrial application. In the previous work, authors obtained a mutant S. virginiae VKM Ac-2738D strain, characterized by a high productivity in flasks and the optimum M1:S1 ratio (75:25) in the final product. In this study, the scale-up of the virginiamycin production by VKM AC-2738D from shake flasks to a pilot-scale (100 L) stirred fermentor was carried out and the possibility of the in situ use of synthetic adsorbing resins to remove virginiamycin from culture broth was assessed. After the optimization of pH and dissolved oxygen concentration (6.8-7.0 and 50%, respectively), the fed-batch fermentation of VKM Ac-2738D with continuous addition of 50% sucrose solution (5 g/L/day starting from 48 h of fermentation) resulted in a final virginiamycin titer of 4.9 g/L. Among four tested resins, Diaion® HP21 added to fermentation medium prior to sterilization absorbed 98.5% of the total virginiamycin that simplifies its further recovery procedure and increased its total titer to 5.6 g/L at the M1:S1 ratio of 74:26. The developed technology has several important advantages, which include (1) the optimum M1:S1 ratio in the final product, (2) the possibility to use sucrose as a carbon source instead of traditionally used and more expensive glucose or D-maltose, and (3) selective binding of up to 98.5% of produced virginiamycin on the adsorbing resin.

Abstract
The unique glycopeptide antibiotic A47934, produced by Streptomyces toyocaensis, possesses a nonglycosylated heptapeptide core that is sulfated on the phenolic hydroxyl of the N-terminal 4-hydroxy-L-phenylglycine residue. Genetic and biochemical experiments confirmed that StaL is a sulfotransferase capable of sulfating the predicted crosslinked heptapeptide substrate to produce A47934 both in vivo and in vitro. Incubation of purified His(6)-StaL with various substrates in vitro revealed substrate specificity and yielded two sulfo-glycopeptide antibiotics: sulfo-teicoplanin aglycone and sulfo-teicoplanin. Quantification of the antibacterial activity of desulfo-A47934, A47934, teicoplanin, and sulfo-teicoplanin demonstrated that sulfation slightly increased the minimum inhibitory concentration. This unique modification by sulfation expands glycopeptide diversity with potential application for the development of new antibiotics.

Abstract
To characterize induction of VanA resistance a plasmid was constructed in which the gene for firefly luciferase lucA was placed under the control of the promoter for the VanA resistance genes, the vanH promoter. This system afforded convenient quantitative measurement of induction of the VanA genes. Glycopeptide antibiotics and antibiotics representing 19 different mechanisms of action were evaluated for their ability to induce. Antibiotics that acted as inducers were all inhibitors of late steps of peptidoglycan synthesis. These included moenomycin, bacitracin, tunicamycin, ramoplanin and glycopeptides, but not penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Glycopeptide antibiotics were the most potent inducers. Both glycopeptides with little or no antimicrobial activity and semisynthetic glycopeptides active against VanA resistant enterococci were inducers. Overall, results suggest that an induction response may involve both an internal signal, such as precursor accumulation, and the glycopeptide molecule itself as a signal. The system may be useful as a screen for new antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The glycopeptide antibiotics vancomycin and teicoplanin are currently the last line of defence against some microorganisms that are resistant to many drugs. The emergence of vancomycin-resistant and teicoplanin-resistant enterococci underscores the need for more potent antibiotics. The glycosylation patterns of glycopeptides and chemical modifications of the glycosyl moieties have been shown to greatly influence their antibiotic activity, and certain combinations have resulted in highly active new compounds. To explore further the production of more potent glycopeptide antibiotics, we assessed whether glycosyltransferases could be used to produce hybrid compounds that contain various combinations of sugars and peptide cores. RESULTS We cloned five glycosyltransferase genes from Amycolatopsis orientalis strains that produce vancomycin or a related glycopeptide, A82846. The gtfB and gtfE' genes from A. orientalis strains expressed in Escherichia coli produced glucosyltransferase activities that added glucose or xylose to the vancomycin heptapeptide. The GtfE' protein added glucose efficiently to two other heptapeptides related to teicoplanin to produce hybrid glycopeptide antibiotics. The cloned gtfE' gene, driven by the strong constitutive promoter ermEp*, was introduced into Streptomyces toyocaensis, which produces the antibiotic A47934, a heptapeptide related to teicoplanin; recombinant organisms produced glucosyl A47934, a hybrid glycopeptide antibiotic. CONCLUSIONS Cloned glycosyltransferases from glycopeptide antibiotic producers can be used to produce novel hybrid antibiotics, both in vitro and in vivo. Because similar enzymes have differing degrees of substrate specificity, it is advantageous to characterize the substrate specificity with enzymes expressed in E. coli prior to constructing recombinant actinomycetes for production.

Abstract
We explored different methods of introducing DNA into 'Streptomyces toyocaensis' and Streptomyces virginiae to construct stable recombinant strains. Plasmid pIJ702 isolated from Streptomyces lividans transformed protoplasts of 'S. toyocaensis' at a frequency of 7 x 10(3) transformants (mu g DNA)-1. pIJ702 prepared from 'S. toyocaensis' transformed 'S. toyocaensis' protoplasts at a frequency of 1 center dot 5 x 10(5) (mu g DNA)-1, suggesting that 'S. toyocaensis' expresses restriction and modification. Plasmid pRHB126 was transduced by bacteriophage FP43 into 'S. toyocaensis' at a frequency of 1.2 x 10(-6) (p.f.u)-1. Plasmids pOJ436 and pRHB304 were introduced into 'S. toyocaensis' by conjugation from Escherichia coli S17-1 at frequencies of about 2 x 10(-4) and 1 x 10(-4) per recipient, respectively. Analysis of several exconjugants indicated that pOJ436 and pRHB304 inserted into a unique phiC31 attB site and that some of the insertions had minimal deleterious effects on glycopeptide A47934 production. The results indicate that 'S. toyocaensis' is a suitable host for gene cloning, whereas S. virginiae does not appear to be.

Abstract
In the field of natural peptides, beta-lactams, and related compounds, recent exciting developments are discussed. The increasing interest in this class of bioactive amino-acid derived structures has been attributed to the use of new directed screens (enzyme inhibition assays, beta-lactam detection, immunomodulator studies), new and improved applications (antibiotic, transplantation, and cancer chemotherapy), and advances in functional studies (DNA binding peptides, nucleotide complexones, cell wall and protein processing inhibitors). Peptides offer unique access to modifications and analog production by in vivo (directed biosynthesis) and in vitro procedures (enzymatic synthesis) due to their general linear precursors permitting point replacements. Of special interest are recent developments in the genetics of these compounds (cyclic peptides and beta-lactams), which will find applications in production methods in the near future.

Abstract
A47934, a peptide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces toyocaensis, belongs to the glycopeptide class of compounds which includes ristocetin and vancomycin. Incorporation studies with radioisotope-labeled substrates indicated that tyrosine, p-hydroxyphenylglycine, p-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate, acetate, and sulfate were efficiently incorporated into A47934. This is consistent with the reported biosynthesis of other glycopeptide antibiotics. Prototrophic mutants blocked in antibiotic biosynthesis were isolated at a low frequency (0.4%) after mutagenesis. Secretor-convertor pairings of the 36 mutants obtained demonstrated that they belonged to three classes: two groups of secretor-convertor pairs and a larger group of mutants that did not make antibiotic under any condition tested. Neither the secretor-convertor studies not supplementation of the cultures with putative biosynthetic intermediates was useful in identifying the location of the biosynthetic blocks. All studies to determine the timing of the sulfate addition step in the biosynthesis indicated that the sulfate is added prior to the formation of intermediates that possess antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
A fluorescent tripeptide, epsilon-N-acetyl-alpha-N-dansyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine, has been prepared in order to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of the binding of peptides and peptide analogs to the glycopeptide antibiotics. On titration of the tripeptide with typical examples of these antibiotics (vancomycin, ristocetin, alpha- and beta-avoparcin, and teichoplanin), a substantial increase in dansyl fluorescence intensity is observed, allowing the ready determination of binding constants. The binding constants of nonfluorescent ligands can be determined by titration in competition with the fluorescent compound. This new general method for the determination of ligand-binding constants is superior to previous methods in ease of performance, in its sensitivity at low antibiotic concentrations, and in its applicability to ultraviolet-light-absorbing ligands. Biphenomycin gave no indication of binding to D-alanyl-D-alanine-terminating peptides.
