Abstrakt: Naturally occurring hydrazones are rare despite the ubiquitous usage of synthetic hydrazones in the preparation of organic compounds and functional materials. In this study, we discovered a family of novel microbial metabolites (tasikamides) that share a unique cyclic pentapeptide scaffold. Surprisingly, tasikamides A-C ( 1 - 3 ) contain a hydrazone group (C═N─N) that joins the cyclic peptide scaffold to an alkyl 5-hydroxylanthranilate (AHA) moiety. We discovered that the biosynthesis of 1 - 3 requires two discrete gene clusters, with one encoding a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) pathway for assembling the cyclic peptide scaffold and another encoding the AHA-synthesizing pathway. The AHA gene cluster encodes three ancillary enzymes that catalyze the diazotization of AHA to yield an aryl diazonium species (diazo-AHA). The electrophilic diazo-AHA undergoes nonenzymatic Japp-Klingemann coupling with a β-keto aldehyde-containing cyclic peptide precursor to furnish the hydrazone group and yield 1 - 3 . The studies together unraveled a novel mechanism whereby specialized metabolites are formed by the coupling of two biosynthetic pathways via an unprecedented in vivo Japp-Klingemann reaction. The findings raise the prospect of exploiting the arylamine-diazotizing enzymes (AAD) for the in vivo synthesis of aryl compounds and modification of biological macromolecules.
