Abstract Lantibiotics are a type of ribosomally synthesized and post‐translationally modified peptides (termed lanthipeptides) with often potent antimicrobial activity. Herein, we report the discovery new lantibiotic, lexapeptide, using library expression analysis system (LEXAS) approach. Lexapeptide has rare structural modifications, including N‐terminal ( N , )‐dimethyl phenylalanine, C‐terminal (2‐aminovinyl)‐3‐methyl‐cysteine, d ‐Ala. The characteristic lanthionine moiety in lexapeptide...

Streptomyces lividans is a suitable host for the heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from actinomycetes to discover "cryptic" secondary metabolites. To improve BGCs, herein we optimized S. strain SBT5 via stepwise integration three global regulatory genes and two codon-optimized multi-drug efflux pump deletion negative gene, yielding four engineered strains. All optimization steps were observed promote production polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides, hybrid...

Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract, and this condition has a rather dismal prognosis, with an extremely low five-year survival rate. To improve outcome unresectable recurrent gallbladder cancer, it necessary to develop new effective treatments drugs. The purpose present study was evaluate effects cordycepin on human cells uncover molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) colony formation assays revealed that affected...

Abstract Biobattery, a kind of enzymatic fuel cells, can convert organic compounds (e.g., glucose, starch) to electricity in closed system without moving parts. Inspired by natural starch metabolism catalyzed phosphorylase, isoamylase is essential debranch alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds starch, yielding linear amylodextrin – the best for sugar-powered biobattery. However, there no thermostable stable enough simultaneous gelatinization and hydrolysis, different from case alpha-amylase. A putative...

Five new perylenequinone derivatives, altertoxins VIII–XII (1–5), as well one known compound cladosporol I (6), were isolated from the fermentation broth of marine-derived fungus Cladosporium sp. KFD33 a blood cockle Haikou Bay, China. Their structures determined based on spectroscopic methods and ECD spectra analysis along with quantum calculations. Compounds 1–6 exhibited quorum sensing inhibitory activities against Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 MIC values 30, 20, 20 30 μg/well, respectively.
