Abstract

15

The major setback in natural product screening is the decreasing hit rate of novel bioactive compounds

16

containing new chemical skeletons. Here we report the identification and biosynthesis of isoindolinomycin

17

(Idm), an unprecedented bioactive polyketide with a novel isoindolinone-containing tetracyclic skeleton.

18

Idm was discovered through the screening of rifampicin-resistant (rif) mutants that were generated from 9

19

actinomycete strains used in this study. Of the 114 rif mutants isolated, the mutant S55-50-5 was found to

20

overproduce Idm, which is almost undetectable in the wild type Streptomyces sp. SoC090715LN-16. An in

21

silico analysis coupled with gene deletion experiments revealed a biosynthetic idmB gene cluster that is

22

responsible for the production of Idm. The biosynthetic studies of Idm primarily focused on the formation

23

of the 5-membered ring in the tetracyclic structure and the attachment of the methyl group to the core

24

structure. In addition, the malachite green phosphate assay performed using a stand-alone adenylation

25

domain (idmB21) demonstrated involvement of glycine in the formation of the isoindolinone-containing

26

skeleton. This study contributes to an increase in the structural diversity of polyketides and paves the way

27

toward an understanding of the complete biosynthetic pathway of a novel class of tetracyclic polyketides.

INTRODUCTION

30

For the past 50 years, antibiotic research has provided us with thousands of microbe-derived bioactive

31

compounds with a variety of chemical structures, such as polyketides, peptides and terpenes. Many of these

32

bioactive compounds are isolated from actinomycetes.1 In fact, actinomycetes are still an important source

33

for the production of clinically used naturally derived drugs.2 Nevertheless, the discovery of new bioactive

34

compounds from actinomycetes has been decreasing since the late 1970s.3 Moreover, despite the urgent need

35

for antibiotics to fight “superbugs”, many major pharmaceutical companies are abandoning antibiotic

36

research.4 One of the reasons is that antibiotic development is economically burdensome because finding a

37

lead compound that can act as an antibacterial agent is difficult.5

38

The genomic era has yielded many published genome sequences, which revealed that an

39

actinomycete strain contains more than 20 biosynthetic gene clusters predicted to encode different

40

structural classes of secondary metabolites.6-8 Only a small number of these biosynthetic gene clusters are,

41

however, expressed under standard culture conditions, and in many cases, they are involved in the

42

production of known compounds. The remaining gene clusters are classified as cryptic or orphan because

43

the metabolites produced by these gene clusters are unidentified. To address this problem, considerable

44

research has been dedicated to activating the cryptic gene clusters during culture.9 To identify new bioactive

45

compounds, we used a cryptic gene activation strategy based on screening for rifampicin-resistant (rif)

46

mutants.10 This method previously proved effective when we identified 2 novel methylbenzene-containing

47

polyenes.11 Using the same method, we continued to screen for rif mutants from 9 actinomycete strains with

48

known draft genome sequences. Here, we describe the screening of the rif mutants that led to the

49

identification of a novel isoindolinone-containing tetracyclic polyketide, named isoindolinomycin and its

50

biosynthetic pathway based on bioinformatics analysis coupled with gene deletion experiments.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

53

Isolation of rifampicin-resistant (rif) mutants and comparative metabolic screening. Nine

54

actinomycete strains with known draft genome sequences were used in this study (Table S1). The

55

generation of rif mutants was achieved at 5-fold, 10-fold, and 50-fold excesses of the minimum inhibitory

56

concentration (MIC) of rifampicin for each actinomycete strain. The MIC and rifampicin concentrations

57

used to generate mutants are summarized in Table S2. Rifampicin is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic that

58

inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA synthesis.12 Consistent with previous reports, rifampicin was found

59

to be potent against most of the actinomycete strains when used at or below 3.125 µg mL–1.

60

The generation of spontaneous rifampicin resistance in the 9 actinomycete strains resulted in the

61

isolation of a total of 114 rif mutants (Table S3). Of these rif mutants, only 36 mutants that developed at the

62

50-fold MIC level were selected for the following comparative metabolic screening process. This is based on

63

our previous work, where rif mutants that developed at high concentrations of rifampicin exhibited greater

64

overproduction than those that developed at lower concentrations.11 Additionally, Ochi et al. reported that

65

mutants resistant to high drug concentrations are more stable in their phenotype.13 The selected rif mutants

66

were screened for overproduced compounds by comparing their metabolic profiles with that of the parent

67

strain. Of them, a 50-fold MIC rif mutant (S55-50-5), derived from Streptomyces sp. SoC090715LN-16

68

(S55), produced some metabolites that were almost undetectable in the parent strain when cultivated in

69

different media (Figure 1A). Isolation and structural elucidation of these metabolites were performed, but

70

only the structure of metabolite 1 was successfully elucidated due to the low concentrations of the remaining

71

metabolites. Metabolite 1 was named isoindolinomycin (Idm) after confirming it as an unprecedented

72

bioactive compound (Figure 1B).

73

Additionally, mutation analysis of the rpoB gene of S55-50-5 identified a point mutation that

74

occurred in position C1309T (Figure S1A) that replaced the histidine residue at position 437 with tyrosine 4

75

(Figure S1B). Tanaka et al. list rpoB mutations that are effective for antibiotic overproduction.14 The report

76

emphasizes that mutations at amino acid residue 437, notably H437Y, are often effective in a wide variety of

77

actinomycetes.

78

Structural elucidation. Idm was isolated as a reddish orange amorphous solid with the molecular

79

formula C24H26NO8Cl, as determined by HRESI-MS (m/z 492.1417 [M+H]+ calculated for C24H27NO8Cl+:

80

492.1420). The presence of the M+2 signal in the mass spectrum for Idm indicated the presence of a

81

chlorine atom (Figure S2). The structure of Idm was then elucidated by extensive NMR spectral analyses

82

(Figure S3–S14). The 1H NMR spectrum (600 MHz, chloroform-d) of Idm showed 17 signals that were

83

assigned to 3 aliphatic methylene units, 5 methine signals (δ 2.67, 2.89, 3.72, 4.22 and 4.89), an aromatic

84

proton (δ 7.63), an exchangeable NH (δ 6.79), a hydrogen-bonded phenolic OH group at δ 14.37, two

85

aliphatic methyl signals (δ 0.98 and 1.41), an anomeric proton (δ 4.74), and a methoxy signal (δ 3.40)

86

(Table 1). The

87

(C-1 and C-9), an aromatic methine (C-5), and 10 aromatic quaternary carbons, 2 of which (C-10 and C-11)

88

could be assigned to aromatic carbons attached to oxygen atoms. In the aliphatic region, 3 methylenes (C-2,

89

C-7 and C2’), 5 methine carbons (C-3, C-3’ C-4, C-4’, and C-5’), 2 methyl carbons (C-12 and C-6’), an

90

anomeric carbon (C-1’), and a methoxy carbon (C-7’) were detected.

13

C NMR and HSQC spectra indicated the presence of 24 carbons, including 2 carbonyls

91

The structure of Idm was then determined by 2D NMR experiments (COSY, HSQC, HMBC and

92

NOESY). Analysis of the 1H-1H COSY spectrum showed the correlations of the proton sequence from H-1’

93

to H-6’ to be indicative of a deoxy sugar moiety (Figure S15). The HMBC correlations from H-4’ to the

94

methoxy carbon C-7’ then determined the deoxy sugar moiety to be 4-O-methyl-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose.

95

Another fragment of the H-2/H-3/H-4 and H-3/H-12 correlations was also observed in the 1H-1H

96

COSY spectrum. The HMBC correlations of this partial structure to a carbonyl group (H-2 to C-1), an

97

aromatic quaternary carbon (H-2 and H-4 to C-11a) and an aromatic methine (H-4 to C-5) indicated that it 5



98

was attached to an aromatic ring. The presence of the aromatic ring was confirmed by the HMBC

99

correlations observed from H-5 to C-11a and C-10a. HMBC correlations were also observed from the

100

highly de-shielded 11-OH to C-10a, C-11 and C-11a, indicating that it is a phenolic ring. However, the

101

HMBC connectivity observed in Idm ended at the correlation from H-5 to C-6 (Figure S15). Furthermore,

102

no correlation to H-7 was observed, leaving the structure only partially elucidated.

103

To solve this problem, NMR analyses for Idm in different solvents were performed. As a result,

104

the missing correlations from the H-7 signal were detected in NMR analyses performed using acetone-d6

105

(Table 1). The HMBC correlations from H-7 to C-6, C-6a, C-9 and C-9a established the presence of a

106

5-membered ring fused with the other 2 aromatic rings (Figure S15). Furthermore, the relatively

107

downfield-shifted signals of the methylene C-7 in both 1H and 13C-NMR indicated that it is attached to an

108

amine moiety within the ring system. The NOESY correlations were interpreted using the spectrum

109

recorded in chloroform-d, due to overlapping of the acetone-d6 solvent peak in the aliphatic region. Thus, a

110

planar structure of the aglycone of Idm was established and the relative stereochemistry of the aglycone

111

was further determined from the 3JH2,H3 and 3JH3,H4 coupling constants and NOE correlations among 2-Ha,

112

3-CH3, and 4-H (Figure 1B, Figure S16). The lack of NOE correlation between 2-Hb and 4-H supports this

113

relative stereochemistry assignment. The 3JH1’,H2’b coupling constant (9 Hz) indicates that a linkage between

114

the aglycone C4 and the deoxy sugar C1’ is a β-glycosidic bond. The NOE correlation observed between

115

1’-H and 4-H is consistent with the configuration of the C1’ anomeric carbon.

116

To the best of our knowledge, Idm represents the first isolated natural product having a

117

tetracyclic structure with a unique isoindolinone skeleton. Structure searches performed using SciFinder

118

(American Chemical Society) returned results indicating that this isoindolinone-containing tetracycle is a

119

novel natural product skeleton. Moreover, the linear 6-6-6-5 ring system coupled with the non-aromatic

120

D-ring of Idm is a rare feature for polyketides assembled by type II polyketide synthase (PKS) systems.

121

The compound with the most similar structure to the Idm core structure is lactonamycin, which was

122

isolated from Streptomyces rishiriensis MJ773-88K4 (Figure 1B).15

123

Biological activity. The isolated Idm was tested for cytotoxicity against the SKOV-3, Meso-1,

124

and Jurkat cell lines and for antimicrobial activity. Idm was cytotoxic to all the tested cell lines, the IC50

125

values in SKOV-3, Meso-1 and Jurkat cells were 19.2 µM, 7.35 µM and 8.33 µM, respectively (Figure

126

S17A). Idm also exhibited inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus at an IC50 of 11.6 µM (Figure

127

S17B), but showed no inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis or Micrococcus luteus

128

(Figure S17C). Tetracycles such as anthracycline and tetracycline are well-known classes of antibiotics.

129

Despite the potency of these drugs, which bind specifically to bacterial ribosomal subunits, they are

130

currently facing efflux pump type resistance as a consequence of their overuse.16 Idm has a unique

131

tetracyclic skeleton that may offer new binding possibilities in the active sites of the drug targets.

132

Identification of the isoindolinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster. A point of interest in the

133

biosynthesis of Idm is the formation of the unique isoindolinone-containing tetracyclic structure. Based on

134

the structure of Idm, an amino acid, presumably glycine, is predicted to act as the starter unit in the type II

135

PKS system. Precursor incorporation experiments of lactonamycin, the known compound most similar to

136

Idm, show that its biosynthesis involves glycine or its derivative.17 However, no further evidence was

137

provided for the enzyme or the actual substrate to support this observation. Therefore, to investigate this

138

6-6-6-5 tetracyclic ring system, an in silico analysis of the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp.

139

SoC090715LN-16 was performed. Use of a flavin-dependent halogenase homolog (Protein ID: AFV71318)

140

as a search query returned two biosynthetic gene clusters, each bearing a gene with close homology to

141

tryptophan halogenase (Figure S18). Analysis of the flanking regions in these gene clusters revealed that

142

the idmB gene cluster responsible for Idm production contains genes encoding type II PKS (idmB17, 18),

143

glycosyltransferase (idmB30) and methyltransferase (idmB4, 24, 39), the presence of which are highly

7



144

rational for the biosynthesis of Idm (Table 2, Figure 2). To confirm this assumption, we disrupted idmB32

145

in the gene cluster (Figure S19) because idmB32 shows close homology to tcmG, a dioxygenase

146

indispensable for the biosynthesis of tetracenomycin (Tcm) that catalyzes the triple hydroxylation of the

147

tetracyclic TcmA2 to TcmC.18 As expected, the deletion abolished the production of Idm, verifying that the

148

gene cluster is responsible for Idm biosynthesis (Figure S19). Analysis of the genes in the idmB

149

biosynthetic gene cluster revealed that many of them are homologous to those in the biosynthetic gene

150

cluster of lactonamycin (Table 2). We speculate that the identified homologous genes primarily encode

151

proteins that participate in the formation of the polyketide skeleton, such as type II PKS, polyketide cyclase,

152

and some of the tailoring enzymes. This speculation is based on the observation that Idm and lactonamycin

153

share some similarity in their core skeletons.

154

Loading of the starter unit. With the identified biosynthetic gene cluster in hand, we proceeded

155

to investigate the isoindolinone-containing core skeleton. We speculated that the starter unit glycine must

156

be adenylated prior to loading onto an acyl carrier protein (ACP) and is subsequently incorporated into the

157

polyketide chain backbone (Figure S20). A recent report on streptothricin biosynthesis revealed 2

158

stand-alone adenylation (A) domains that each catalyze a different type of reaction: the adenylation of the

159

starter unit L-β-lysine for PCP loading and the adenylation of L-β-lysine for the elongation of the

160

L-β-lysine peptide chain. Therefore, the adenylation reaction in Idm biosynthesis is most likely catalyzed

161

by the stand-alone adenylation domain (idmB21) found in the gene cluster. Sequence analysis of idmB21

162

revealed that the signature code for this gene product is “DLFFLCLLSK” and the web software

163

NRPSpredictor2 predicts the recognition of glycine or alanine residues.20 To determine the substrate for

164

IdmB21, the malachite green phosphate assay was performed. The recombinant IdmB21 protein was

165

purified (Figure S20) and used in the in vitro assay with 20 amino acids. The reaction products were then

166

tested with the malachite green phosphate kit to measure phosphate liberated from the degradation of ATP

167

during the adenylation reaction. IdmB21 displayed a strict specificity for glycine (Figure S20), confirming

168

the involvement of glycine as the likely starter unit for the polyketide chain backbone of Idm.

169 170

Methylation in isoindolinomycin biosynthesis. We were intrigued by the methylation of the

171

non-aromatic D-ring of Idm. To investigate the methylation mechanism, we deleted the three putative

172

methyltransferase genes (idmB4, idmB24, and idmB39) found in the idmB gene cluster (Figure 2, Figure

173

S21). The deletion of idmB4 abolished the production of both Idm and its aglycone (Figure 3A), indicating

174

that IdmB4 may be the enzyme catalyzing the transfer of the methyl substituent to the core structure. Using

175

this method, we expected the accumulation of an intermediate that allowed for the elucidation of the

176

reaction pathway, but no intermediate was detected. This result may be due to several factors, including the

177

potential instability of the intermediates, and that methylation by IdmB4 occurs during the generation of the

178

polyketide chain. If the latter reason is proven true, the reaction catalyzed by IdmB4 would represent an

179

unprecedented methylation mechanism in aromatic polyketide biosynthesis.

180

The deletion of idmB39 revealed that it may be responsible for the O-methylation of the sugar

181

moiety. This deduction is based on the observation that Idm production was abolished and an unknown

182

metabolite, most likely an Idm lacking a methyl group in its deoxy sugar moiety, was detected (Figure 3B).

183

Moreover, the detection of the Idm aglycone in the deletion mutant further confirmed that idmB39 is not

184

responsible for the transfer of a methyl moiety to the tetracyclic structure (Figure S22). The Idm aglycone

185

was detected in the culture extract of S55-50-5 but due to its low yield, the structure could only be

186

predicted from the LC-MS/MS spectra (Figure S23).

187

Unlike idmB4 and idmB39, the deletion of idmB24 did not terminate the production of Idm

188

(Figure S24A). Although this result suggests that idmB24 may not be related to the biosynthesis of Idm, an

189

unknown metabolite with the UV spectrum that is indicative of an Idm-related compound and putative

9



190

molecular formula C19H13NO6 was accumulated in the deletion mutant (Figure S24B and C). The isolation

191

and structural elucidation of this metabolite may provide information on the function of this enzyme.

192

Proposed biosynthetic pathway. In silico analysis combined with gene deletion experiments led

193

to the identification of the idmB gene cluster. Similar to all other type II PKS systems, idmB gene cluster

194

has a set of minimal PKS with β-ketoacyl synthases, IdmB17 (KSβ) and IdmB18 (KSα), and IdmB25

195

(ACP). IdmB18 has the acyltransferase GHSxG motif and a conserved Cys169 for acyl binding that are

196

both characteristic of KSα, whereas IdmB17 has Gln characteristic of KSβ instead of the Cys.21 The

197

biosynthesis of the isoindolinone-containing core structure is proposed to start with the adenylation of

198

glycine by IdmB21 before the condensation and extension of 7 acetate units by IdmB17 and IdmB18. After

199

the polyketide chain is assembled, cyclization reactions occur, presumably mediated by the polyketide

200

cyclases IdmB19, IdmB20 and IdmB22 (Figure 4). Among these cyclases, IdmB22 exhibits high similarity

201

to the N-terminal of the didomain cyclase TcmN, also known as an aromatase that catalyzes the cyclization

202

reaction and subsequent elimination of water to produce the first aromatic ring.22 Thus, we suspect that

203

IdmB22 functions as ketoreductase that is absent in the idmB gene cluster and that the remaining cyclases

204

are responsible for the introduction of the remaining rings. The idmB gene cluster contains two ACPs,

205

IdmB23 and IdmB25. IdmB25 exhibits higher identity (37%) to TcmM, an ACP from the minimal type II

206

PKS in the biosynthesis of tetracenomycin.23 This suggests that IdmB25 may be part of isoindolinomycin

207

minimal PKS. As IdmB23 shows only 21% identity to TcmM, we suspect that it is involved in the loading

208

of glycine onto IdmB18. The presence of a thioesterase (IdmB12) is rarely associated with type II PKS

209

systems. Such discrete thioesterases (TE), also known as type II TE, are typically found in modular type I

210

PKS and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) systems.24 However, there are also cases reported

211

where an acyltransferase homolog possessing thioesterase activity is involved in the type II PKS systems,

212

producing non-acetate-primed polyketides. These acyltransferase homologs, such as ZhuC from the R1128

213

PKS and EncL from the enterocin PKS, remove the usual acetate starter units that compete with the

alternate alkyl acyl primer units.25,26 Therefore, it is conceivable that IdmB12 may have a similar function

215

to type II thioesterases in preventing the initiation of Idm synthesis with acetate. Following the cyclization

216

reactions, a series of tailoring reactions including halogenation by IdmB26, dioxygenation by IdmB32,

217

quinone reduction by IdmB37, and methylation by IdmB4 are expected to occur to form the Idm aglycone.

218

The biosynthesis of the deoxy sugar moiety was also predicted by bioinformatics analysis. IdmB8,

219

9, 28, and 29 are likely involved in the formation of dTDP-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose from α-D-glucose

220

1-phosphate. The idmB gene cluster, however, lacks a dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase homolog.

221

dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase is a common enzyme involved in the irreversible deoxygenation at C6 to

222

produce the key intermediate, 4-keto-6-deoxy-D-hexose for the biosynthesis of all 6-deoxysugars.27

223

Although the idmB gene cluster does not possess 4,6-dehydratase, a putative dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase

224

was found in a different locus from the idm gene cluster on the S55-50-5 genome. Following the

225

biosynthesis of dTDP-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose, a glycosidic bond between the deoxy sugar moiety and

226

the Idm aglycone could be formed by the Idm30 glycosyltransferase. Finally, the IdmB39

227

O-methyltransferase catalyzes 4-O-methylation of the deoxy sugar moiety to produce Idm.

228

229

CONCLUSION

230

The aim of this study is to explore the hidden potential of actinomycetes via the activation of cryptic

231

gene clusters. The aim was achieved when Idm was isolated from the rif mutant S50-50-5. This

232

unprecedented compound possesses a novel skeleton with potent bioactivity and its chemical structure has

233

steered our research towards the discovery of possible new biosynthetic mechanisms. Although the full

234

biosynthetic pathway of the novel compound has yet to be elucidated, this report demonstrates the potential

235

of actinomycetes as a source for the discovery of natural products. Naturally, there is no single method that

11



Page 12 of 25

236

can unlock all cryptic pathways in actinomycetes. Advances in genome sequencing coupled with software

237

tools for genome annotation have allowed us to predict and identify potential novel natural products.

238

However, in many cases, in silico screening works only for well-established natural products and is unable to

239

recognize new types of biosynthetic assemblies. Moreover, the complex regulation of secondary metabolite

240

biosynthesis constantly reminds us that there is more to be studied before we can understand the full potential

241

of actinomycetes. The discovery of new synthetically challenging bioactive substances is expected from

242

these microorganisms, and with them, we can contribute to the development of better disease therapies.

METHODS

245

Strains and oligonucleotides used in this study are listed in Table S1 and S4 of the Supporting Information

246

section, respectively. The generation of rif mutants was performed on GYM agar containing different

247

concentrations of rifampicin according to the MIC of each strain (Table S3). Rif mutants were cultured in

248

A1-, GYM-, K- and A-94964-producing media for metabolite analysis. For large scale fermentation and

249

isolation of Idm, the S55-50-5 mutant was cultivated in A-94964-producing medium. The extracts and

250

fractions were analyzed using a UHPLC-PDA system (JASCO X-LCTM Systems, Tokyo, Japan) with a

251

CAPCELLPAK C18 column (2.0 × 50 mm, Shiseido, Tokyo, Japan). Idm was finally purified using a

252

preparative HPLC system (Senshu Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) with a Senshu Pak PEGASIL ODS column (20

253

× 250 mm, Senshu Scientific, Tokyo, Japan). A high-resolution Triple TOF 5600 MS (SCIEX, Tokyo,

254

Japan) equipped with a UFLC Nexera system (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) was used with a CAPCELL PAK

255

C18 column (2.0 × 50 mm, Shiseido, Tokyo, Japan) for HRESI-MS (positive mode). 1H, 13C and 2D NMR

256

spectra were recorded on a JEOL ECA-600 spectrometer (B0 = 14.01 T). Genome sequences were

257

annotated
