Nobachelins, new siderophores from Nocardiopsis baichengensis protecting Caenorhabditis elegans from Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology(2023)
Abstract
The biosynthetic potential of actinobacteria to produce novel natural products is still regarded as immense. In this paper, we correlated a cryptic biosynthetic gene cluster to chemical molecules by genome mining and chemical analyses, leading to the discovery of a new group of catecholate-hydroxamate siderophores, nobachelins, from Nocardiopsis baichengensis DSM 44845. Nobachelin biosynthesis genes are conserved in several bacteria from the family Nocardiopsidaceae. Structurally, nobachelins feature fatty-acylated hydroxy-ornithine and a rare chlorinated catecholate group. Intriguingly, nobachelins rescued Caenorhabditis elegans from Pseudomonas aeruginosa-mediated killing.
