    Abstract Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci ATCC 11528 produces tabtoxin, a β-lactam-containing dipeptide phytotoxin. Tabtoxinine-β-lactam (TβL), one of tabtoxin's constituent amino acids, structurally mimics lysine, and many of the proteins encoded by the tabtoxin biosynthetic gene cluster are homologs of lysine biosynthetic enzymes, suggesting that the tabtoxin and lysine biosynthetic routes parallel one another. We cloned and expressed TabB and TabD, predicted homologs of tetrahydrodipicolinate (THDPA)-N-acyltransferase and N-acyl-THDPA aminotransferase, respectively, to determine their activities in vitro. We confirmed that TabB succinylates THDPA and that TabD is a PLP-dependent aminotransferase that utilizes glutamate as an amine donor. Surprisingly, we also found that though TabD could utilize the TabB product N-succinyl-THDPA as a substrate, THDPA itself was also recognized. These observations reveal that TabB functionally duplicates DapD, the THDPA-N-succinyltransferase involved in lysine biosynthesis, and reinforce the close relationship between the metabolic logics underpinning the respective biosynthetic pathways.

    Abstract Polyketides are secondary metabolites biosynthesized by the iterative Claisen condensation of malonate units. Despite utilizing only a small set of biochemical transformations, the polyketide biosynthetic machinery yields products of striking structural complexity and diversity. Recently, a new polyketide alkylation pathway was characterized that allows access to "beta-branched" structures. This Highlight will describe this alkylation sequence, with special emphasis on its parallels to isoprenoid biosynthesis from primary metabolism and the scope of structures accessible via this pathway.

    Abstract The translation of nucleic acids into synthetic structures with expanded functional potential has been the subject of considerable research, with applications including small-molecule and polymer evolution, reaction discovery and sensing. Here, we review properties of nucleic-acid-templated synthesis in the context of requirements for prebiotic translation. This analysis highlights the chemical possibilities of ancient translation systems, as well as challenges that these systems may have faced.

    Abstract Polyketide biosynthesis is typically directed by cis-acting catalytic domains. In the case of the Bacillus subtilis secondary metabolite dihydrobacillaene, the cis-acting domains are not sufficient to generate the saturated C14'-C15' bond. In this communication, we identify PksE as a trans-acting enoyl reductase utilized in the biosynthesis of this portion of dihydrobacillaene. PksE is homologous to the enzymes predicted to serve as enoyl reductases in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis, and we confirmed this functional assignment in vitro. These results suggest a general enoyl reduction pathway in polyketide biosynthesis and a means by which PUFA-like biosynthetic machinery can modulate small-molecule function.

    Abstract The polyketide signaling metabolites bacillaene and dihydrobacillaene are biosynthesized in Bacillus subtilis on an enzymatic assembly line with both nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) modules acting along with catalytic domains servicing the assembly line in trans. These signaling metabolites possess the unusual starter unit alpha-hydroxyisocaproate (alpha-HIC). We show here that it arises from initial activation of alpha-ketoisocaproate (alpha-KIC) by the first adenylation domain of PksJ (a hybrid PKS/NRPS) and installation on the pantetheinyl arm of the adjacent thiolation (T) domain. The alpha-KIC unit is elongated to alpha-KIC-Gly by the second NRPS module in PksJ as demonstrated by mass spectrometric analysis. The third module of PksJ uses PKS logic and contains an embedded ketoreductase (KR) domain along with two adjacent T domains. We show that this KR domain reduces canonical 3-ketobutyryl chains but also the alpha-keto group of alpha-KIC-containing intermediates on the PksJ T-domain doublet. This KR activity accounts for the alpha-HIC moiety found in the dihydrobacillaene/bacillaene pair and represents an example of an assembly-line dual-function alpha- and beta-KR acting on disparate positions of a growing chain intermediate.
