Discovery and Structure Elucidation of Glycosyl and 5-Hydroxy Migrastatins from Dung Beetle Gut Kitasatospora sp

J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Dec 13:kuad046. doi: 10.1093/jimb/kuad046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo new macrocyclic secondary metabolites, glycosyl-migrastatin (1) and 5-hydroxy-migrastatin (2), were isolated from a gut bacterium Kitasatospora sp. JL24 in dung beetle Onthophagus lenzii. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the NMR, MS, and UV spectroscopic data, the planar structures of 1 and 2 were successfully identified as new candidates for migrastatin. Compound 1 was the first glycosylated member of the migrastatin family. The absolute configuration of the sugar moiety was determined to be d-glucose through the analysis of coupling constants and ROESY correlations, followed by chromatographic chemical derivatization and comparison with authentic d- and l-glucose. Compound 2, identified as 5-hydroxy-migrastatin possessing an additional hydroxy group with a previously unreported chiral center, was assigned using Mosher's method through 19F NMR chemical shifts and confirmed with the modified Mosher's method. Genomic analysis of Kitasatospora sp. strain JL24 revealed a putative biosynthetic pathway involving an acyltransferase-less type I polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster.PMID:38093455 | DOI:10.1093/jimb/kuad046
