Title: Structure, Biosynthesis, and Bioactivity of Photoditritide from Photorhabdus temperata Meg1.
Authors: Zhao L, Awori RM, Kaiser M, Groß J, Opatz T, Bode HB.
Abstract: A new cyclic peptide photoditritide (1), containing two rare amino acid d-homoarginine residues, was isolated from Photorhabdus temperata Meg1 after the nonribosomal peptide synthetase encoding gene pdtS was activated via promoter exchange. The structure of 1 was elucidated by HR-MS and NMR experiments. The absolute configurations of amino acids were determined according to the advanced Marfey's method after hydrolysis of 1. Bioactivity testing of 1 revealed potent antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus luteus with an MIC value of 3.0 μM and weak antiprotozoal activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense with an IC50 value of 13 μM. Additionally, the biosynthetic pathway of 1 was also proposed.
