Macrocyclization is an important process that affords morphed scaffold in biosynthesis of bioactive natural products. Nature has adapted diverse biosynthetic strategies to form macrocycles. In this work, we report the identification and characterization of a small enzyme AvmM that can catalyze the construction of a 16-membered macrocyclic ring in the biosynthesis of alchivemycin A (1). We show through in vivo gene deletion, in vitro biochemical assay and isotope labelling experiments that AvmM catalyzes tandem dehydration and Michael-type addition to generate the core scaffold of 1. Mechanistic studies by crystallography, DFT calculations and MD simulations of AvmM reveal that the reactions are achieved with assistance from the special tenuazonic acid like moiety of substrate. Our results thus uncover an uncharacterized macrocyclization strategy in natural product biosynthesis.

There is an urgent need for precise diagnosis to distinguish nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and other respiratory diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) release assays (IGRAs), including antigen-specific peripheral blood-based quantitative T cell assay (T-SPOT.TB) and QuantiFERON-TB-Gold-Test (QFT-G), in differentiating NTM infections ( = 1,407) from culture-confirmed PTB ( = 1,828) and other respiratory diseases ( = 2,652).

In this paper we consider the nearness symmetric solution of the matrix equation AXB = C to a given matrix [Formula: see text] in the sense of the Frobenius norm. By discussing equivalent form of the considered problem, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrix [Formula: see text] is a solution of the considered problem. Based on the idea of the alternating variable minimization with multiplier method, we propose two iterative methods to compute the solution of the considered problem, and analyze the global convergence results of the proposed algorithms.
