林可霉素的生物合成:两个小分子硫醇的故事

摘要
在生物体对抗各种内源性和外源性毒害的过程中,小分子硫醇因其氧化还原作用而扮演的保护性角色已广为人知。近期,在使用长达半个世纪、用于革兰氏阳性细菌感染治疗的林可酰胺类(八碳糖)抗生素林可霉素的生物合成途径中,我们发现两个小分子硫醇MSH和GST通过密切配合扮演了前所未有的建设性角色:GST作为载体介导了活性分子的体内组装,而MSH则在硫醇交换之后成为硫元素的供体。二者以两个罕见的S-糖苷化反应导演了林可酰胺八碳糖的转移、活化和修饰,不但为EGT参与的生化反应过程提供了首个范例,也在迄今为止知之甚少、由MSH介导的生物转化中,建立了广泛存在于生物体系中的必要元素硫原子的渗入机制。
We here report that the unprecedented coupling of two bacterial thiols mycothiol(MSH) and ergothioneine(EGT)plays a constructive role in the biosynthesis of lincomycin A,a sulfur-containing lincosamide(C8-sugar) antibiotic that has been widely used for half a century to treat gram-positive bacterial infections.EGT acts as a carrier to template the molecular assembly,and MSH is the sulfur donor for lincomycin maturation after thiol exchange.These thiols function through two unusual S-glycosylations that program lincosamide transfer,activation and modification,providing the first paradigm for EGT-associated biochemical processes,and for the poorly understood MSH-dependent biotransformations,a new paradigm that is potentially common in the incorporation of sulfur,an element essential for life and ubiquitous in living systems.
