    Abstract Aurachins are farnesylated quinolone alkaloids of bacterial origin and excellent inhibitors of the respiratory chain in pro- and eukaryotes. Therefore, they have become important tool compounds for the investigation of electron transport processes and they also serve as lead structures for the development of antibacterial and antiprotozoal drugs. Especially aurachin D proved to be a valuable starting point for structure-activity relationship studies. Aurachin D is a selective inhibitor of the cytochrome

    Abstract As a robust, fast growing and genetically tractable organism, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most widely used hosts in biotechnology. Its applications range from the manufacturing of vaccines and hormones to bulk chemicals and biofuels. In recent years, major efforts have been undertaken to expand this portfolio to include structurally complex natural products, such as polyketides and nonribosomally synthesized peptides. These compounds often have useful pharmacological properties, which make them valuable drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancer, or autoimmune disorders. In nature, polyketides and nonribosomal peptides are generated by consecutive condensation reactions of short chain acyl-CoAs or amino acids, respectively, with the substrates and reaction intermediates being bound to large, multidomain enzymes. For the reconstitution of these multistep catalytic processes, the enzymatic assembly lines need to be functionally expressed and the required substrates must be supplied in reasonable quantities. Furthermore, the production hosts need to be protected from the toxicity of the biosynthetic products. In this review, we will summarize and evaluate the status quo regarding the heterologous production of polyketides and nonribosomal peptides in S. cerevisiae. Based on a comprehensive literature analysis, prerequisites for a successful pathway reconstitution could be deduced, as well as recurring bottlenecks in this microbial host.

    Abstract Siderophores are small molecules secreted by microorganisms in order to scavenge iron from the environment. An example is the thiazoline-containing natural product massiliachelin, which is produced by Massilia sp. NR 4-1 under iron-deficient conditions. Based on experimental evidence and genome analysis, it was suspected that this bacterium synthesizes further iron-chelating molecules. After a thorough inspection of its metabolic profile, six previously overlooked compounds were isolated that were active in the chrome azurol S (CAS) assay. Mass spectrometric measurements and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses identified these compounds as possible biosynthetic intermediates or shunt products of massiliachelin. Their bioactivity was tested against one Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria.

    Abstract Natural products have greatly influenced the development of drugs to combat infectious diseases, cancer, and other disorders affecting human well-being. Only rarely, a natural product is used in an unmodified form for therapeutic purposes. More often, natural product derivatives are preferred due to improved activity or toxicity profiles. These compounds are usually produced using 'hybrid' processes that integrate organic synthesis and biosynthesis. Either a natural product is isolated from a biological source and then converted into the final drug by semisynthesis or a synthetically prepared precursor is introduced into the engineered biosynthesis of a living cell in a procedure called mutasynthesis. In this review, we will present recent developments in these two research areas, which take advantage of heterologous biosynthesis.

    Abstract Aurachin D is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome bd oxidases, which are potential targets in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this study, our aim was to improve the biocatalytic production of aurachin D from a quinolone precursor molecule with recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing the biosynthesis enzyme AuaA. In order to achieve a high-level production of this membrane-bound farnesyltransferase in E. coli, the expression of the auaA gene was translationally coupled to an upstream cistron in accordance with a bicistronic design (BCD) strategy. Screening of various BCD elements led to the identification of optimized auaA expression cassettes, which increased the aurachin D titer in E. coli up to 29-fold in comparison to T7-mediated expression. This titer could be further raised by codon optimization of auaA and by introducing the mevalonate pathway into the production strain. The latter measure was intended to improve the availability of farnesyl pyrophosphate, which is needed as a cosubstrate for the AuaA-catalyzed reaction. In sum, the described efforts resulted in a strain producing aurachin D with a titer that is 424 times higher than that obtained with the original, non-optimized expression host.

    Abstract Four new phenolic siderophores were isolated from the actinomycete Nocardia altamirensis along with the known natural product amamistatin B and a putative biosynthetic shunt product. The structures of all compounds were elucidated through 1D and 2D NMR analyses as well as mass spectrometry. The iron-chelating properties of the retrieved metabolites were evaluated in a chrome azurol S assay.
