The bengamides, sponge‐derived natural products that have been characterized as inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), have been intensively investigated as anticancer compounds. We embarked on a multidisciplinary project to supply bengamides by fermentation of the terrestrial myxobacterium M. virescens, decipher their biosynthesis, and optimize their properties as drug leads. The characterization
苯甲酰胺是海绵衍生的天然产物,已被表征为蛋氨酸氨基肽酶(MetAPs)的抑制剂,已被作为抗癌化合物进行了深入研究。我们着手开展一项多学科项目,通过发酵陆地粘杆菌M. virescens提供苯甲酰胺,破译它们的生物合成,并优化其作为药物线索的性能。生物合成途径的特征表明,粘菌MetAP蛋白的Leu 154赋予了细菌对苯甲酰胺的抗性,并使整个基因簇转移到更合适的生产宿主黄单胞菌DK1622中。
