Abstrakt: Derivatizing natural products (NPs) is essential in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, compound optimization, and drug development. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) represent one of the major classes of natural products. Thioholgamide represents thioamitide - a recently emerged family of RiPPs with unique structures and great potential in anticancer drug development. Although the method for generating the RiPP library by codon substitutions in the precursor peptide gene is straightforward, the techniques to perform RiPP derivatization in Actinobacteria remain limited and time-consuming. Here, we report a facile system for producing a library of randomized thioholgamide derivatives utilizing an optimized Streptomyces host. This technique enabled us to access all possible amino acid substitutions of the thioholgamide molecule, one position at a time. Out of 152 potential derivatives, 85 were successfully detected, revealing the impact of amino acid substitutions on thioholgamide post-translational modifications (PTMs). Moreover, new PTMs were observed among thioholgamide derivatives: thiazoline heterocycles, which have not yet been reported for thioamitides, and S-methylmethionine, which is very rare in nature. The obtained library was subsequently used for thioholgamide SAR studies and stability assays.
