    Abstract Kidamycins belong to the pluramycin family of antitumor antibiotics that contain di-C-glycosylated angucycline. Owing to its interesting biological activity, several synthetic derivatives of kidamycins are currently being developed. However, the synthesis of these complex structural compounds with unusual C-glycosylated residues is difficult. In the kidamycin-producing

    Abstract Background: Excessive stress, a major problem in modern societies, affects people of all ages worldwide. Corticosterone is one of the most abundant hormones secreted during stressful conditions and is associated with various dysfunctions in the body. In particular, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of hygrolansamycin C (HYGC) against corticosterone-induced cellular stress, a manifestation of excessive stress prevalent in contemporary societies.
    Methods: We isolated HYGC from Streptomyces sp. KCB17JA11 and subjected PC12 cells to corticosterone-induced stress. The effects of HYGC were assessed by measuring autophagy and the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation-related genes. We used established cellular and molecular techniques to analyze protein levels and pathways.
    Results: HYGC effectively protected cells against corticosterone-induced injury. Specifically, it significantly reduced corticosterone-induced oxidative stress and inhibited the expression of autophagy-related proteins induced by corticosterone, which provided mechanistic insight into the protective effects of HYGC. At the signaling level, HYGC suppressed c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation and p38 activation.
    Conclusions: HYGC is a promising candidate to counteract corticosterone-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. Autophagy and MAPK pathway inhibition contribute to the protective effects of HYGC. Our findings highlight the potential of HYGC as a therapeutic agent for stress-related disorders and serve as a stepping stone for further exploration and development of stress management strategies.

    Abstract Agar is a galactan and a major component of the red algal cell wall. Agar is metabolized only by specific microorganisms. The final step of the β-agarolytic pathway is mediated by α-neoagarooligosaccharide hydrolase (α-NAOSH), which cleaves neoagarobiose to D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose. In the present study, two α-NAOSHs, SCO3481 and SCO3479, were identified in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). SCO3481 (370 amino acids, 41.12 kDa) and SCO3479 (995 amino acids, 108.8 kDa) catalyzed the hydrolysis of the α-(1,3) glycosidic bonds of neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose at the nonreducing ends, releasing 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose. Both were intracellular proteins without any signal peptides for secretion. Similar to all α-NAOSHs reported to date, SCO3481 belonged to the glycosyl hydrolase (GH) 117 family and formed dimers. On the other hand, SCO3479 was a large monomeric α-NAOSH belonging to the GH2 family with a β-galactosidase domain. SCO3479 also clearly showed β-galactosidase activity toward lactose and artificial substrates, but SCO3481 did not. The optimum conditions for α-NAOSH were pH 6.0 and 25 °C for SCO3481, and pH 6.0 and 30 °C for SCO3479. Enzymatic activity was enhanced by Co

    Abstract One of the optimization strategies of an artificial biosynthetic metabolic flux with a multienzyme pathway is when the enzyme concentrations are present at the appropriate ratios rather than at their maximum expression. Thus, many recent research efforts have focused on the development of tools that fine-tune the enzyme expression, and these research efforts have facilitated the search for the optimum balance between pathway expression and cell viability. However, the rational approach has some limitations in finding the most optimized expression ratio in in vivo systems. In our study, we focused on fine-tuning the expression level of a six-enzyme reaction for the artificial biosynthesis of curcumin by screening a library of 5'-untranslational region (UTR) sequence mutants made by a multiplex automatic genome engineering (MAGE) tool. From the screening results, a variant (6M08rv) showed about a 38.2-fold improvement in the production of curcumin compared to the parent strain, in which the calculated expression levels of 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) and phenyldiketide-CoA synthase (DCS), two of the six enzymes, were much lower than those of the parent strain.

    Abstract Although previous studies have examined the signaling pathway involved in melanogenesis through which ultraviolet (UV) or α-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-MSH) stimuli act as key inducers to produce melanin at the stratum basal layer of the epidermis, the signaling pathway regulating melanogenesis is still controversial. This study reports that α-MSH, not UVA and UVB, acted as a major stimulus of melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Signaling pathway analysis using gene knockdown technology and chemical inhibitors, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2) played an important role in melanogenesis. Unexpectedly, LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, increased melanogenesis without UV or α-MSH stimulation, suggesting that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway may not be a major signaling pathway for melanogenesis. Chemical inhibition of the MEKs/ERKs/RSK2 signaling pathway using U0126 or BI-D1870 suppressed melanogenesis by stimulation of UVA or α-MSH stimulation, or both. In particular, the genetic depletion of RSK2 or constitutive active (CA)-RSK2 overexpression showed that RSK2 plays a key role in melanogenesis. Interestingly, forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4) was phosphorylated by RSK2, resulting in the increase of FOXO4's transactivation activity. Notably, the FOXO4 mutant harboring serine-to-alanine replacement at the phosphorylation sites totally abrogated the transactivation activity and reduced melanin production, indicating that RSK2-mediated FOXO4 activity plays a key role in melanogenesis. Furthermore, kaempferol, a flavonoid inhibiting the RSK2 activity, suppressed melanogenesis. In addition, FOXO4-wt overexpression showed that FOXO4 enhance melanin synthesis. Overall, the RSK2-FOXO4 signaling pathway plays a key role in modulating melanogenesis.
