Mixing Up the Pieces of the Desferrioxamine B Jigsaw Defines the Biosynthetic Sequence Catalyzed by DesD
2016
Late-stage assembly of the trimeric linear siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB) native to Streptomyces pilosus involves two DesD-catalyzed condensation reactions between one N-acetyl-N-hydroxy-1,5-diaminopentane (AHDP) unit and two N-succinyl-N-hydroxy-1,5-diaminopentane (SHDP) units. AHDP and SHDP are products of DesBC-catalyzed reactions of the native diamine substrate 1,5-diaminopentane (DP). The sequence of DesD-catalyzed DFOB biosynthesis was delineated by analyzing the distribution of DFOB analogues and dimeric precursors assembled by S. pilosus in medium containing 1,4-diamino-2(E)-butene (E-DBE). Seven unsaturated DFOB analogues were produced that were partially resolved by liquid chromatography (LC). Mass spectrometry (MS) measurements reported on the combination of E-DBE- and DP-derived substrates in each trimer (uDFOA1 series, 1:2; uDFOA2 series, 2:1; uDFOA3, 3:0). MS/MS fragmentation patterns reported on the absolute position of the substrate derivative at the N-acetylated terminus, the intern...
