摘要:

WS9326A是一个从链霉菌中发现的速激肽受体拮抗剂和细菌群体感应抑制剂。WS9326A的结构为一个戊烯肉桂酰取代的环肽。其生物合成由非核糖体肽合成酶(NRPS)完成。其NRPS最后一个模块中的硫酯酶(TE)功能域被推测催化了WS9326A生物合成中的最后一步反应-位置选择性的环化反应。目前还未见对此TE的催化功能的研究报道。本文报道了运用固相多肽合成(SPPS)法合成了WS9326A生物合成中TE(WS9326A-TE)的两个底物类似物12。化合物12均为新化合物, 它们的结构经NMRHRESIMS分析得到了确证。化合物2N末端的肉桂酰片段和C末端甲基化的丝氨酸残基的合成均在SPPS温和的条件下完成。由于WS9326A-TE的底物或底物类似物很难从产WS9326A的野生链霉菌中分离得到, 本研究对12的合成为将来开展WS9326A-TE的体外催化表征打下了基础。

Abstract:

WS9326A is a tachykinin receptor antagonist and quorum sensing inhibitor discovered from several Streptomyces strains. The structure of WS9326A features a (Z)-pentenylcinnamoyl moiety attached on a cyclic depsipeptide skeleton, which is biosynthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). The regioselective cyclization in the last step of NRPS catalysis, which is proposed to be catalyzed by a thioesterase (TE) domain in the last module, has not been experimentally characterized. We here reportthe synthesis of two substrate mimics (1 and 2) of the TE (WS9326A-TE) in WS9326A biosynthesis, by using Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method. Compounds 1 and 2 are new compounds whose structures have been elucidated based on NMR and HRESIMS analyses. The N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety and C-terminal methylated l-Ser moiety in 2 were incorporated under the mild SPPS conditions. Given the isolation difficulties of substrate of WS9326A-TE from the Streptomyces producers of WS9326A, our synthesis of 1 and 2 set the stage for the reconstitution of WS9326A-TE’s catalytic reaction in vitro in the future.
