| Abstract | Genome mining is a promising avenue for expanding the repertoire of microbial natural products, which are important for drug development. This approach involves predicting genetically encoded small molecules by examining bacterial genomes via accumulated knowledge of microbial biosynthesis. However, it is also important that the microbes produce the predicted molecule in practice. Here, we introduce an endophytic Streptomyces sp. N50, which was isolated from the medicinal plant Selaginella tamariscina. Upon sequencing its entire genome, 33 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were identified in a chromosome and a megaplasmid. Subsequent genome mining revealed that the new 15-deoxynaphthomycin could be produced due to the presence of an enoyl reductase domain, which is absent in the known BGC of naphthomycin, a type of ansamycin antibiotics. In addition, the engineered strain with the introduction of the global regulatory gene afsR2 into N50 successfully produced 15-deoxynaphthomycins. Furthermore, molecular network analysis via MS/MS selectively confirmed the presence of additional sulfur-containing 15-deoxynaphthomycin congeners. Eventually, six new 15-deoxynaphthomycins were isolated and elucidated from the engineered strain N50. This family of compounds is known to exhibit various biological activities. Also, the presence of quinone moieties in these compounds, which are known to activate NRF2, they were tested for their ability to activate NRF2. Among the new compounds, three (1, 5, and 6) activated the antioxidant NRF2-ARE signaling pathway. Treatment with these compounds significantly elevated NRF2 levels in HepG2 cells and further induced the expression of NRF2 target genes associated with the antioxidant response. This study suggests that the combination of genome mining, gene engineering and molecular networking is helpful for generating new small molecules as pharmaceutical candidates from microorganisms. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
