Substrate Flexibility of Vicenisaminyltransferase VinC Involved in the Biosynthesis of Vicenistatin
摘要:
A glycosyltransferase VinC is involved in the biosynthesis of antitumor beta-glycoside antibiotic vicenistatin. It catalyzes a glycosyl transfer reaction between dTDP-alpha-D-vicenisamine and vicenilactam. Previous identification of its broad substrate specificity toward various glycosyl acceptors enabled us to explore the potential of VinC for glycodiversification. In vitro study of the substrate specificity toward several dTDP-sugars with vicenilactam established that VinC displayed activities with alpha-anomers of several dTDP-2-deoxy-D-sugars such as mycarose, digitoxose, olivose, and 2-deoxyglucose to afford respective beta-glycosides. Notably, beta-anomers of dTDP-2-deoxy-D-sugars also appeared to be accepted by VinC to form alpha-glycosides. Furthermore, VinC is capable of catalyzing glycosyl transfer reactions from both the alpha-anomer and beta-anomer of dTDP-L-mycarose, respectively, into beta-glycoside and alpha-glycoside. These results indicate that VinC is a unique glycosyltransferase possessing broad substrate specificity. The mechanism of this axially oriented glycosidic bond formation from the equatorially oriented dTDP-sugar might be explained by conformational change of dTDP-sugar to a boat conformation during the glycosyl transfer reaction. To apply these features of VinC for glycodiversification, 22 sets of structurally diverse glycosides were constructed using unnatural glycosyl donors and acceptors.

The absolutestereochemistry of the aglycon part of an antitumor antibiotic vicenistatin (1) was determined by a synthetic approach. Two relevant components degradatively derived from natural 1 were compared with the corresponding synthetic standards prepared from known compounds by stereochemically defined chemistry. The absolute configuration of 1 turned out to be 6S,7S,18S.
generate the desired 20‐membered macrolactam. This second‐generation strategy made it possible to prepare synthetic analogues of vicenistatin, including the C20‐ and/or C23‐demethyl analogues. Evaluation of the cytotoxic effect of these analogues indicated the importance of the fixed conformation of aglycon for determining the biological activity of the vicenistatins.
A highly convergent total synthesis of macrocyclic lactam glycoside vicenistatin is described. Key features of the synthesis include rapid assembly of the macrolactam part and macrocyclic ring closure via intramolecular Stille coupling.

Macrolactam antibiotics are an important class of macrocyclic polyketides that contain a unique nitrogen-containing starterunit. In the present study, a set of starter biosynthetic enzymes in the macrolactam antibiotic vicenistatin was characterized. We found that the protection-deprotection strategy of the aminoacyl-ACP intermediate was critical in this system. On the basis of bioinformatics, the
A new analogue of Vicenistatin was isolated from the producing strain Streptomyces sp. HC-34. A characteristic of the elucidated structure involved the existence of a neutral sugar mycarose instead of an aminosugar vicenisamine of Vicenistatin. The absolute stereochemistry of the new analogue (named as Vicenistatin M) was determined by the synthesis of D-mycarose and of vicenistatin M itself. Biological testing of Vicenistatin M suggested the importance of vicenisamine for exerting the cytotoxicity of vicenistatin.
