Abstract
We report on the use of nitric oxide-mediated transcriptional activation (NOMETA) as an innovative means to detect and access new classes of microbial natural products encoded within silent biosynthetic gene clusters. A small library of termite nest- and mangrove-derived fungi and actinomyces was subjected to cultivation profiling using a miniaturized 24-well format approach (MATRIX) in the presence and absence of nitric oxide, with the resulting metabolomes subjected to comparative chemical analysis using UPLC-DAD and GNPS molecular networking. This strategy prompted study of Talaromyces sp. CMB-TN6F and Coccidiodes sp. CMB-TN39F, leading to discovery of the triterpene glycoside pullenvalenes A–D (1–4), featuring an unprecedented triterpene carbon skeleton and rare 6-O-methyl-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminyl glycoside residues. Structure elucidation of 1–4 was achieved by a combination of detailed spectroscopic analysis, chemical degradation, derivatization and synthesis, and biosynthetic considerations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
