Prodiginines, which are tripyrrole alkaloids displaying a wide array of bioactivities, occur as linear and cyclic congeners. Identification of an unclustered biosynthetic gene led to the discovery of the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the regiospecific C-H activation and cyclization of prodigiosin to cycloprodigiosin in Pseudoalteromonas rubra. This enzyme is related to alkylglycerol monooxygenase and unrelated to RedG, the Rieske oxygenase that produces cyclized prodiginines in Streptomyces, implying convergent evolution.

The Prodiginins (PGs) natural pigments are secondary metabolites produced by a broad spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, notably by species within the Serratia and Streptomyces genera. These compounds exhibit diverse and potent biological activities, including anticancer, immunosuppressive, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antiviral effects. Structurally, PGs share a common tripyrrolic core but possess variable side chains and undergo cyclization, resulting in structural diversity.

The rph gene cluster for prodigiosin biosynthesis has been identified in Streptomyces griseoviridis 2464-S5, which produces cyclic prodigiosin derivatives including roseophilin (2), prodigiosin R1 (3) and prodigiosin R2 (4). A new cyclic prodigiosin, prodigiosin R3 (1), was produced by the redG redP double disruptant of Streptomyces coelicolor M511 expressing four cyclization gene candidates (rphG, rphG2, rphG3 and rphG4) in the rph cluster. The same compound was isolated from Streptomyces griseoviridis 2464-S5.

A wide range of prescreening tests for antimicrobial activity of 59 bacterial isolates from sediments of Ria Formosa Lagoon (Algarve, Portugal) disclosed 3.6 as the most active antibacterial producing strain. This bacterial strain, which has not previously been submitted for chemical profiling, was subjected to whole genome sequencing, which aided in the discovery and elucidation of a prodigiosin biosynthetic gene cluster that was predicted by the bioinformatic tool KEGG BlastKoala.

Covering: up to the end of 2017 The roles played by Rieske non-heme iron-dependent oxygenases in natural product biosynthesis are reviewed, with particular focus on experimentally characterised examples. Enzymes belonging to this class are known to catalyse a range of transformations, including oxidative carbocyclisation, N-oxygenation, C-hydroxylation and C-C desaturation. Examples of such enzymes that have yet to be experimentally investigated are also briefly described and their likely functions are discussed.
