Streptomyces erythraeus trypsin (SET) is a serine protease that is secreted extracellularly by S. erythraeus. We investigated the inhibitory effect of α(1)-antitrypsin on the catalytic activity of SET. Intriguingly, we found that SET is not inhibited by α(1)-antitrypsin. Our investigations into the molecular mechanism underlying this observation revealed that SET hydrolyzes the Met-Ser bond in the reaction center loop of α(1)-antitrypsin. However, SET somehow avoids entrapment by α(1)-antitrypsin. We also confirmed that α(1)-antitrypsin loses its inhibitory activity after incubation with SET. Thus, our study demonstrates that SET is not only resistant to α(1)-antitrypsin but also inactivates α(1)-antitrypsin.

The cyclic structure of non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) is critical for enhancing their stability and bioactivity, which highlights the importance of exploring NRP cyclization enzymes for natural product discovery. Thioesterases (TEs) are crucial enzymes that catalyze the formation of various lactams, including macrolactams, β-lactams, and γ-lactams; however, their potential to produce other lactam types remains largely unexplored. In this study, we identified spinactin A () and novel derivatives, spinactin B-E (-), from NRRL 18395 and characterized the biosynthetic enzymes involved, particularly a unique TE SncF, responsible for δ-lactam formation.

As a novel protein post-translational modification, lysine succinylation is widely involved in metabolism regulation. To describe succinylated lysine's physiological functions and distribution patterns in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, a large and global protein succinylome was identified in a hypersuccinylated strain E3ΔsucC, using high-resolution 4D label-free mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic analysis was conducted to examine the succinylated proteins further in this study.

Metabolic blockade-based genome mining of the marine sediment-derived SCSIO 07745 led to the discovery of 11 novel aminoquinolinone alkaloids, oxazoquinolinones A-J (-), characterized by an oxazolidone[3,2-α]quinoline-5,8-dione scaffold, and oxazoquinolinone K (), featuring an unprecedented fused 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic core ring system. Additionally, 5 new biosynthetic intermediates or shunt products (-) and a known metabolite sannanine () were identified. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and a comparison of electronic circular dichroism and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
