L1: Julian Davies – Small is beautiful Antibiotic history Modes of action Production and resistance The age of streptomycetes The parvome: chemical ecology Cooperation vs. competition Thoughts on evolution L2: Flavia Marinelli - Isolation and screening of secondary metabolite-producing microorganisms How many microbial secondary metabolites (potential drugs) are known? Who are the microbial producers (ABL database)? Overview of products on the market from ascomycota, actinomycetes, myxobacteria and cyanobacteria Novel antiinfectives, antitumor, statins and immunosuppressive agents Isolation methods focusing on our experience in rare actinomycetes: challenges of rare actinomycetes Comparison of different methods of screening A screening case history: lantibiotics L3: Lutz Heide - Secondary metabolites: structure, biosynthesis, enzymology and genetics 1) Most frequently used classes of antibiotics 2) How antibiotics kill bacteria: Antibiotic targets 3) Chemical classes of secondary metabolites: β-Lactam antibiotics (Penicillins, Aminopenicillins, Cephalosporins) Peptide antibiotics Glycopeptide antibiotics Lipopeptide antibiotics Aminocoumarins Tetracyclines Macrolides Polyene antibiotics Aminoglycosides Lincosamides Synthetic antibacterials: Fluorquinolones, Oxazolidinones, Sulfonamides, Nitroimidazoles 4) Principles of biosynthesis and enzymology: polyketide synthases, non-ribosomal peptide synthases and beyond L4: Greg Challis and Govind Chandra: - Introduction to the computer workshops L5: Mervyn Bibb - Regulation of secondary metabolism and its analysis 1. Overview of regulation of secondary metabolism – pathway-specific and pleiotropic regulatory genes 2. Specific examples – A-factor (refer to Kenji), tylosin, Ser-Thr protein kinases (refer to Duska), DasR, ppGpp etc 3. Genomic approaches to regulation of secondary metabolism a. Transcriptomics & defining regulons (arrays, RNA-seq, ChIP-on-Chip, ChIP-seq) b. Proteomics (2D gels and MALDI-ToF; mass spec-based proteomics) 4. Targeted approaches (Northern’s, SI nuclease protection analysis, primer extension, RT –PCR & qRT-PCR) 5. Identifying genes involved in secondary metabolism (& making defined mutants) L6: Roberto Kolter - Microbial chemical ecology: Secondary metabolites as signals and killing agents - quorum sensing: history and examples - rethinking quorum sensing - the case of Bacillus subtilis and paracrine signaling - secondary metabolites in symbioses vibrio squid attine ants L7: Kenji Ueda - Microbial chemical ecology: Bacterial hormone-sensing rediscovered in applied microbiology - brief introduction to the unique development of applied microbiology in Japan - overviewing the A-factor story - gamma-butyrolactones in actinomycete communities L8: Duška Vujaklija - Old concepts/new insights in bacterial phosphorylation Introduction to phosphorylation: Reversible phosphorylation of proteins occurs in all organisms and possesses crucial regulatory roles in a broad spectrum of biological processes. Retrospective: It was discovered in the mid 1950s and for many years it was tought to exist only in eukaryotes. Period of controversy: Serine, threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation is the most common type of phosphorylation in eukaryotes, on contrary, in bacteria phosphorylation occurs predominantly on histidine and aspartate (two-component system). Until the early 1990s it was largely considered that these two phosphorylation systems are mutually exclusive. Two-component systems: Crucial bacterial regulatory mechanism for sensing and responding to internal and extranal signals. It also regulates different functions related to bacterial pathogenicity: including toxin production, cell adhesion, quorum sensing, capsule synthesis, motility, and drug resistance. More recent data: Genome sequencing confirmed the widespread presence of genes encoding eukaryotic like Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases. Tyrosine phosphorylation in bacteria: The first studies only suggested tyrosine kinase activities in bacteria, but the first conclusive evidence of bacterial tyrosine phosphorylation came only a decade ago. Bacterial tyrosine kinases exibit unexpected features and have been identified in a variety of bacteria. The list of substrates of BY-kinases is increasing and will be discussed with emphasis on tyrosine phosphorylation of bacterial single stranded DNA binding proteins, particularly SSB proteins from Streptomyces sp. Powerful new methods: the number of serine-threonine- and tyrosinephosphorylated proteins have been discovered recently by mass spectrometry-based gel-free phosphoproteomics. L9: Flavia Marinelli - Industrial fermentation and strain improvement of secondary metabolite-producing microorganisms Strain maintenance Fermentation process Optimization of medium components and physico-chemical parameters Examples from our recent works: modulation of teicoplanin complex, influence of process parameters on sirolimus production Strain improvement Mutagenesis (recent examples on sirolimus and cyclosporin) Ribosome engineering (Ochi work and one application to rare actinos) Protoplast transformation and fusion (genome shuffling and our example of Nonomuraea manipulation) Link between production and resistance: examples in glycopeptide producers Heterologous expression L10: Greg Challis and Mervyn Bibb - Activation of cryptic pathways for drug discovery Greg Challis: 1. Brief overview to different approaches for identifying the metabolic products of cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters. 2. Example of gene knockout/comparative metabolic profiling - coelichelin (and the "answer" to the computer workshop). 3. Example of heterologous expression comparative metabolic profiling methylenomycin furans. 4. Example of induction of gene expression/comparative metabolic profiling. 5. Potential for new metabolite discovery in the genomics age. Mervyn Bibb: 1. Identification and analysis of secondary metabolic gene clusters by “genome scanning” – microbisporicin, cypemycin and tunicamycin 2. In vitro reconstitution of a cryptic secondary metabolic pathway - venezuelin L11: Roberto Kolter - Microbial chemical ecology: Interspecies interactions as a biological discovery tool - on the need for thinking outside the box for understanding the role of secondary metabolites - a couple of examples: cholesterol lowering drugs and new targets in bacteria global warming and a novel algicide L12: Kenji Ueda - Microbial chemical ecology: Interspecies interactions as a fundamental of community structuring - rethinking the role of secondary metabolism: the case of three Streptomyces metabolites (polyethers, ferrioxamines and cobalamin) - the pivotal role of carbon dioxide L13: Lutz Heide - Combinatorial biosynthesis of novel natural products 1) Development of new antibiotics: Natural product screening Chemical synthesis/Combichem New target identification using pathogenomics Natural product sceening + genetic/genomic techniques 2) Combinatorial biosynthesis in vivo by gene inactivation/gene expression a) in original producer strain b) after heterologous expression of the clusters, including in “super-hosts” 3) Mutasynthesis: combining microbial genetics and synthetic chemistry 4) Chemoenzymatic synthesis: combining microbial genetics, synthetic chemistry and enzymology Examples will be used from aminocoumarins and other classes of antibiotics.
