Further Observations on the Source of Nitrogen in Phenazine Biosynthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is concluded from experiments with (S)-[C015NH2]glutamine and [15N]ammonium sulphate that the biosynthesis of iodinin (1), in Brevibacterium iodinum, and of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (7), in Pseudomonas aureofaciens, is primarily from a single nitrogen source (glutamine) and that the phenazines are constituted by combination of two units of the same precursor, as 5. Some observations are made on the inhibition and triggering of iodinin biosynthesis.

The structural biology of phenazine biosynthesis.
The phenazines are a class of over 150 nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds of bacterial and archeal origin. Their redox properties not only explain their activity as broad-specificity antibiotics and virulence factors but also enable them to function as respiratory pigments, thus extending their importance to the primary metabolism of phenazine-producing species. Despite their discovery in t...
متن کاملiTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis reveals potential factors associated with the enhancement of phenazine-1-carboxamide production in Pseudomonas chlororaphis P3
Phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN), a phenazine derivative, is strongly antagonistic to fungal phytopathogens. Pseudomonas chlororaphis HT66 is a PCN-producing, non-pathogenic biocontrol strain, and we obtained the mutant P. chlororaphis P3, which produces 4.7 times more PCN than the wild-type HT66 strain. To reveal the cause of PCN production enhancement in P3 and find potential factors related to ...
متن کاملIdentification of the Lomofungin Biosynthesis Gene Cluster and Associated Flavin-Dependent Monooxygenase Gene in Streptomyces lomondensis S015
Streptomyces lomondensis S015 synthesizes the broad-spectrum phenazine antibiotic lomofungin. Whole genome sequencing of this strain revealed a genomic locus consisting of 23 open reading frames that includes the core phenazine biosynthesis gene cluster lphzGFEDCB. lomo10, encoding a putative flavin-dependent monooxygenase, was also identified in this locus. Inactivation of lomo10 by in-frame p...
متن کاملPhzA/B catalyzes the formation of the tricycle in phenazine biosynthesis.
Phenazines are redox-active bacterial secondary metabolites that participate in important biological processes such as the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species and the reduction of environmental iron. Their biosynthesis from chorismic acid depends on enzymes encoded by the phz operon, but many details of the pathway remain unclear. It previously was shown that phenazine biosynthesis invo...
متن کاملMutational analysis of a phenazine biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces anulatus 9663
The biosynthetic gene cluster for endophenazines, i.e., prenylated phenazines from Streptomyces anulatus 9663, was heterologously expressed in several engineered host strains derived from Streptomyces coelicolor M145. The highest production levels were obtained in strain M512. Mutations in the rpoB and rpsL genes of the host, which result in increased production of other secondary metabolites, ...
