    Abstract Enzymatic modifications of small molecules are a common phenomenon in natural product biosynthesis, leading to the production of diverse bioactive compounds. In polyketide biosynthesis, modifications commonly take place after the completion of the polyketide backbone assembly by the polyketide synthases and the mature products are released from the acyl-carrier protein (ACP). However, exceptions to this rule appear to be widespread, as on-line hydroxylation, methyl transfer, and cyclization during polyketide assembly process are common, particularly in trans-AT PKS systems. Many of these modifications are catalyzed by specific domains within the modular PKS systems. However, several of the on-line modifications are catalyzed by stand-alone proteins. Those include the on-line Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, α-hydroxylation, halogenation, epoxidation, and methyl esterification during polyketide assembly, dehydrogenation of ACP-bound short fatty acids by acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-like enzymes, and glycosylation of ACP-bound intermediates by discrete glycosyltransferase enzymes. This review article highlights some of these trans-acting proteins that catalyze enzymatic modifications of ACP-bound small molecules in natural product biosynthesis.

    Abstract Acarbose is a well-known microbial specialized metabolite used clinically to treat type 2 diabetes. This natural pseudo-oligosaccharide (PsOS) shows potent inhibitory activity toward various glycosyl hydrolases, including α-glucosidases and α-amylases. While acarbose and other PsOSs are produced by many different bacteria, their ecological or biological role in microbial communities is still an open question. Here, we show that several PsOS-producing actinobacteria, i.e.,

    Abstract The potent antitumor antibiotic pactamycin is an aminocyclopentitol-containing natural product produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces pactum. Recent studies showed that the aminocyclopentitol unit is derived from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, which is attached to an acyl carrier protein (ACP)-bound polyketide by a glycosyltransferase enzyme, PtmJ. Here, we report a series of post-glycosylation modifications of the sugar moiety of the glycosylated polyketide while it is still attached to the carrier protein. In vitro reconstitution of PtmS (an AMP-ligase), PtmI (an ACP), PtmJ, PtmN (an oxidoreductase), PtmA (an aminotransferase), and PtmB (a putative carbamoyltransferase) showed that the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine moiety of the glycosylated polyketide is first oxidized by PtmN and then transaminated by PtmA to give ACP-bound 3-amino-3-deoxy-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl polyketide. The amino group is then coupled with carbamoyl phosphate by PtmB to give a urea functionality. We also show that PtmG is a deacetylase that hydrolyses the C-2 N-acetyl group to give a free amine.
