Four tunicamycin class compounds, tunicamycin VII (), tunicamycin VIII (), corynetoxin U17a (), and tunicamycin IX (), were isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived actinomycete sp. MBTG32. The strain was identified using the 16S rDNA sequencing technique, and the isolated strain was closely related to . The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic data and comparisons with previously reported NMR data. Compounds - showed potent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, especially with MIC values of 0.13-0.25 µg/mL. Through a recombinant enzyme assay and overexpression analysis, we found that the isolated compounds exerted potent inhibitory effects on MurNAc-pentapeptide translocase (MraY), with IC values of 0.08-0.21 µg/mL. The present results support that the underlying mechanism of action of tunicamycins isolated from marine-derived sp. is also associated with the inhibition of MraY enzyme activity in .
从海洋来源放线菌 sp. MBTG32 的发酵液中分离得到了 4 种衣霉素类化合物,包括衣霉素 VII()、衣霉素 VIII()、棒曲霉素 U17a()和衣霉素 IX()。通过 16S rDNA 测序技术对该菌株进行了鉴定,分离出的菌株与 密切相关。根据光谱数据和与先前报道的 NMR 数据的比较,解析了分离化合物的结构。化合物 - 对革兰氏阳性菌表现出很强的抗菌活性,特别是对 的 MIC 值为 0.13-0.25 µg/mL。通过重组酶测定和过表达分析,我们发现分离出的化合物对 MurNAc-五肽转位酶(MraY)表现出很强的抑制作用,IC 值为 0.08-0.21 µg/mL。这些结果表明,来源于海洋来源 sp. 的衣霉素的作用机制也与抑制 MraY 酶活性有关。
