研究目的
Investigating the functional characterization of the halogenase SpmH and the discovery of new deschloro-tryptophan dimers from deep-sea-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 03032.
研究成果
The study successfully characterized SpmH as an L-tryptophan 5-halogenase and discovered new deschloro-tryptophan dimers with moderate cytotoxic activities. This highlights the potential of gene inactivation in marine actinomycetes for discovering novel natural products.
研究不足
The study was limited to the characterization of SpmH and the discovery of deschloro-tryptophan dimers from a single Streptomyces sp. strain. The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were only moderate, indicating potential areas for optimization.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the inactivation of the spmH gene in Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 03032 to investigate its role in the biosynthesis of chlorinated tryptophan dimers.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Fermentation cultures of the ΔspmH mutant were collected and subjected to acetone extraction and macroporous resin absorption for compound isolation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
HPLC, HRESIMS, NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical ECD calculations were used for structural elucidation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The ΔspmH mutant was generated via insertional mutation. Compounds were isolated through chromatographic separation and their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The cytotoxic activities of compounds were evaluated against four cancer cell lines, and SpmH was biochemically characterized in vitro.
