Gladiolin

Gladiolin is a polyketide natural product produced by Burkholderia gladioli BCC0238 which is isolated from sputum of cystic fibrosis patients. It was found to be a novel macrolide antibiotic which presented an activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[1] Gladiolin is structurally much more stable than its analogue etnangien[2] as an efficient myxobacterial RNA polymerase inhibitor due to the lack of highly labile hexaene moiety in gladiolin.[1] The good activity and high stability of gladiolin offers it the potential for further development as an antibiotic against antibiotic-resistant M. tuberculosis.

Potential uses

Because of the structure similarity between gladiolin and etnangien, gladiolin was proved to inhibit RNA polymerase,[1] which is a validated drug target in M. tuberculosis including isoniazid- and rifampicin-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates.[3] Gladiolin also exhibits low mammalian cytotoxicity and high stability.

History

Burkholderia is a prolific producer of many antimicrobial compounds, for example, thailanstatin,[4] spliceostatin,[5] phytotoxin, rhizoxin,[6] and others. Gladiolin was also discovered in another Burkholderia species, Burkholderia gladioli BCC0238, which was first isolated in 1996 from the sputum of a child with cystic fibrosis. The discovery and biosynthesis of gladiolin was first reported in May 2017 by University of Warwick and Cardiff University.[1] They also claimed that gladiolin presents promising activity against M. tuberculosis.

Biosynthesis

Gladiolin is assembled by trans-acyltransferase polyketide synthase (PKS). The gladiolin PKS contains 20 KS domains, 17 of which are predicted to catalyze chain elongation, the rest of them act as transacylases. The initiation step was proposed to be transacylation of the succinyl moiety of succinyl-CoA onto the active site Cys residue in the N-terminal ketosynthase domain of GbnD1 and was supported by phylogenetic analyses.[1]

gollark: You should not, in fact, be trusting said giant profit-maximizing entity and every future version of it and everywhere they might be sending all the data.
gollark: And they probably can make money off it.
gollark: Your argument seems to just be "I totally trust this giant profit-maximizing entity composed of thousands of people and also everyone associated with it and everyone who might be associated with it in the future".
gollark: No, you're insufficiently paranoid.
gollark: If you're a political activist or something, they can dredge up old data to discredit you.
