| Abstract | Bottromycins are unique peptide antibiotics that contain a macrolactamidine, several non-proteinogenic amino acids and a thiazole. We hypothesised that the bottromycins originate from a ribosomally biosynthesised precursor that is elaborated to the mature antibiotics via a series of unusual posttranslational modifications, including β-methylation of Phe, Val and Pro residues, and proteolytic macrolactamidine formation. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated a draft genome sequence of the bottromycin producer Streptomyces bottropensis DSM 40262 in which we identified a gene encoding a polypeptide containing a sequence corresponding to the putative precursor of the bottromycins. Deletion of the gene encoding this putative precursor peptide abolished production of bottromycins in S. bottropensis. Bottromycin production was restored in the resulting mutant by in trans expression of the entire operon containing the precursor peptide gene. In contrast to other posttranslationally modified ribosomal peptide antibiotics, the bottromycin precursor peptide lacks an N-terminal “leader” sequence. Instead, it contains a C-terminal “follower” sequence that is removed during post-translational processing and that is presumably required for correct maturation of the antibiotic. Comparative sequence analyses of the proteins encoded by the genes flanking the precursor peptide gene identified ten enzymes that are likely to catalyse the posttranslational modifications required for bottromycin assembly. A gene cluster that is essentially identical to the S. bottropensis bottromycin biosynthetic gene cluster was identified in the complete genome sequence of the plant pathogen Streptomyces scabies 87.22 and LC-MS analyses confirmed that S. scabies is a novel producer of bottromycins. Our findings set the stage for engineered biosynthesis of novel bottromycin analogues and delineate a plausible pathway for bottromycin biosynthesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
