Discovery of diketopiperazine alkaloids from an endophytic Kitasatospora sp. by heterologous expression
摘要
Heterologous expression of a tRNA-dependent cyclodipeptide synthase (CDPS)-containing biosynthetic gene cluster from the endophytic Kitasatospora sp. CPCC204717 resulted in the discovery of two novel diastereoisomeric 3-hydroxy-2-oxindole diketopiperazine alkaloids (1–2) along with three known congeners cyclo-l-tryptophan-l-tryptophan (3), guanitrypmycin C3-2 (4), and guanitrypmycin C3-1 (5). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses combined with ECD calculations. Compound 2 exhibited antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureusa while 1–5 displayed binding affinities and inhibitory effects against CYP121.
