Abstract
Pseudoalteromonas are abundant in the oceans and possess great potential in the synthesis of bioactive natural products. Although many secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters have been identified from Pseudoalteromonas genomes, most of their products have not been characterized. In this study, endogenous constitutive promoters with high transcriptional activity were obtained from Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra S16 through RNA-seq and a fluorescence assay of luciferase gene expression. Through in situ promoter replacement two silent biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were successfully activated, leading to production of intramolecular cyclized alteramides and two novel ureido-containing linear peptides, alteropeptilides. This study provides a feasible approach for the activation of silent BGCs and the mining of novel compounds from marine bacteria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
