Combining and approaches, we elucidated the phoslactomycin post-PKS tailoring pathway in . Gene inactivation of - revealed seven phoslactomycin derivatives (four novel). Two cytochrome P450s were identified: PnT3 (mediating dual-site, multistep C-8/C-25 oxidation) and PnT7 (catalyzing C-18 hydroxylation). Activity evaluation established essential C-9 phosphate and detrimental ε-lactone/C-3 malonyl effects. These findings bridge the gap in phoslactomycin modification, highlighting a versatile P450 PnT3, and provide SAR foundations for PP2A inhibitor design.

Background: The biosynthesis of the natural product family of the polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) employs an uncommon iterative polyketide synthase/non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (iPKS/NRPS). This machinery produces a universal PoTeM biosynthetic precursor that contains a tetramic acid moiety connected to two unsaturated polyene side chains. The enormous structural and hence functional diversity of PoTeMs is enabled by pathway-specific tailoring enzymes, particularly cyclization-catalyzing oxidases that process the polyene chains to form distinct ring systems, and further modifying enzymes.

Hexacosalactone A (1) is a polyene macrolide compound featuring a 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone (CN)-fumaryl moiety. While compound 1 has been proposed to be assembled via a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS) system, most of the putative biosynthetic steps lack experimental evidence. In this study, we elucidated the post-PKS tailoring steps of compound 1 through gene inactivation and biochemical assays.

Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952 is a well-known producer of important anticancer compounds, daunorubicin and doxorubicin. In this study, we successfully identified a new macrolide, 25-hydroxy peucemycin, that exhibited an antibacterial effect on some pathogens. Based on the structure of a newly identified compound and through the inactivation of a polyketide synthase gene, we successfully identified its biosynthetic gene cluster which was considered to be the cryptic biosynthetic gene cluster.
