Here we report the biosynthetic pathway for the neoantimycin and present three novel neoantimycin analogues, neoantimycin D (1), E (2) and F (3), from this assembly system from Streptoverticillium orinoci. Identification of these novel neoantimycin variants was achieved by selective MS/MS interrogation of natural product extracts using diagnostic fragments of the known neoantimycins. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated using a combination of NMR experiments, detailed MS/MS experiments and the advanced Marfey's method. The biosynthetic pathway of neoantimycin was dissected by genome sequencing data analysis for the first time, which includes a hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthetase (PKS) assembly lines.

S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) is an important compound with significant pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Currently, microbial fermentation is dominant in SAM production, which remains challenging due to its complex biosynthetic pathway and insufficient precursor availability. In this study, a multimodule engineering strategy based on CRISPR/Cas9 was established to improve the SAM productivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

MecA is a broadly conserved adaptor protein in Gram-positive bacteria, mediating the recognition and degradation of specific target proteins by ClpCP protease complexes. MecA binds target proteins, often through recognition of degradation tags or motifs, and delivers them to the ClpC ATPase, which unfolds and translocates the substrates into the ClpP protease barrel for degradation. MecA activity is tightly regulated through interactions with ClpC ATPase and other factors, ensuring precise control over protein degradation and cellular homeostasis.

Background: Given the global rise in antimicrobial resistance, the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents and production processes thereof are of utmost importance. To this end we have activated the gene cluster encoding for the biosynthesis of the potent antifungal compound ilicicolin H in the fungus Trichoderma reesei. While the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) is silent under standard cultivation conditions, we achieved BGC activation by genetically overexpressing the transcription factor TriliR.

Background: Ganoderic acids (GAs), recognized as significant triterpenoid bioactive components in Ganoderma lucidum, exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including immunomodulation, anti-cancer, and anti-aging properties. Despite their significant pharmacological potential, the low yield of GAs from natural sources has emerged as a critical bottleneck hindering their broader application in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. Previous studies have suggested that environmental perturbations can influence energy metabolism, potentially impacting the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.
