Chemical compound
Enterocin and its derivatives are bacteriocins synthesized by the lactic acid bacteria, Enterococcus . This class of polyketide antibiotics are effective against foodborne pathogens including L. monocytogenes , Listeria , and Bacillus .[ 1] Due to its proteolytic degradability in the gastrointestinal tract , enterocin is used for controlling foodborne pathogens via human consumption.[ 2]
History
Enterocin was discovered from soil and marine Streptomyces [ 3] strains as well as from marine ascidians of Didemnum [ 4] and it has also been found in a mangrove strains Streptomyces qinglanensis and Salinispora pacifica .[ 5]
Total synthesis
The total synthesis of enterocin has been reported.[ 6]
Biosynthesis
Enterocin has a caged, tricyclic, nonaromatic core and its formation undergoes a flavoenzyme (EncM) catalyzed Favorskii -like rearrangement of a poly(beta-carbonyl).[ 7] Studies done on enterocin have shown that it is biosynthesized from a type II polyketide synthase (PKS) pathway, starting with a structure derived from phenylalanine or activation of benzoic acid followed by the EncM catalyzed rearrangement.
Proposed biosynthetic pathway of enterocin.[ 8]
The enzyme EncN catalyzes the ATP -dependent transfer of the benzoate to EncC, the acyl carrier protein . EncC transfers the aromatic unit to EncA-EncB, the ketosynthase in order for malonation via FabD, the malonyl-CoA :ACP transacylase. A Claisen condensation occurs between the benzoyl and malonyl groups and occurs six more times followed by reaction with EncD, a ketoreductase; the intermediate undergoes the EncM catalyzed oxidative rearrangement to form the enterocin tricyclic core. Further reaction with O -methyltransferase , EncK and cytochrome P450 hydroxylase, EncR yields enterocin.[ 9]
