Why we need new bioactive compound ?Why we need new bioactive compound ?

Drug resistance: can emerge and disseminate rapidlyIn France, penicillin-resistant isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae

has increased from 5% to 25% within five years.

Emerging diseases Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory illness that has recently been reported in Asia, North America, and Europe.

To overcome drug resistance

Develop new drug: is one approach- natural screening- artificial synthesizing

Polyketides (compound of choice)

Filamentous fungi (organism of choice)

Why polyketides ? Why polyketides ?

• Diverse structure and function.

• Synthesized by a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, marine organisms (mollusks, sponges) and plants.

• Known to possess a wealth of pharmacologically important activities.

• Great commercial interest for drug discovery and account for medicinal sales exceeding $20 billion per year.

High diversity of molecular structure

Diverse range of metabolites, potent biological activitiesAntibiotics, toxins, dyes, anticancer drugs, immunosuppressants

Many of filamentous fungi can produce polyketides such asAspergillus sp.Penicillium sp.Cochliobolus heterostrophusXylariaceae

The polyketides are the large group of fungal metabolites.

ObjectivesObjectives- Identify and clone novel polyketide synthase genes

from filamentous fungi- Express the cloned gene in a well-defiend heterologous host

e.g., Pichia pastoris

AimAim- Increase accessibility to novel polyketide structure in nature and

by combinatorial biosynthesis using gene technology- Produce valuable polyketide compounds with enhanced biological

activities

Fungi: sources of polyketides

Not all of fungi can produce diverse polyketides

Recent study by genome search and PCR of each group of fungi shows that

“Subphylum Pezizomycotina” (Phylum Acomycota)=

a diverse group of fungi, has most potential to produce wide array of polyketides

There are 3 genes from marine endophyte that locate in novel clade.

These genes are organized with non-reduced PKS

while they were amplified by reducing primers.

They might lose some domains during evolution

and interesting metabolites might be produced Combinatorial biosynthesis laboratory, 2005

Page 42: Accessing the diversity of PKS genes in fungi isolates of Thailand … · 2011-06-02 · Accessing the diversity of PKS genes in fungi isolates of Thailand: potential use in production

Interesting point of insect pathogenic fungi PKS was the group in clade 3 PKS.

These genes have high identity together.

Hypothesized that these genes may produce the

same metabolites which are important among insect

pathogenic fungi

Interesting point from insect pathogenic PKS phylogeny

• Further increase the diversity of polyketides(via combinatorial biosynthesis using gene technology)

• Create a large pool of polyketides• Generate more natural drugs with enhanced pharmacological properties

Future prospectsFuture prospects

Applications:•Antibacterial, antifungal•Anticancer drugs•Insecticides•Cosmetic use, food coloring•Engineer plants for self production of fungicides and pesticides
