An Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Fingerprint Matching Approach for the Identification and Structural Re-Evaluation of Pseudomonas Lipopeptides

ABSTRACT Cyclic lipopeptides (CLiPs) are secondary metabolites secreted by a range of bacterial phyla. CLiPs from Pseudomonas in particular, display diverse structural variations in terms of the number of amino acid residues, macrocycle size, amino acid identity, and stereochemistry (e.g., d- versus...

description ABSTRACT Cyclic lipopeptides (CLiPs) are secondary metabolites secreted by a range of bacterial phyla. CLiPs from Pseudomonas in particular, display diverse structural variations in terms of the number of amino acid residues, macrocycle size, amino acid identity, and stereochemistry (e.g., d- versus l-amino acids). Reports detailing the discovery of novel or already characterized CLiPs from new sources appear regularly in literature. Increasingly, however, the lack of detailed characterization threatens to cause considerable confusion, especially if configurational heterogeneity is present for one or more amino acids. Using Pseudomonas CLiPs from the Bananamide, Orfamide, and Xantholysin groups as test cases, we demonstrate and validate that the combined 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of CLiPs constitute a spectral fingerprint that is sufficiently sensitive to differentiate between possible diastereomers of a particular sequence even when they only differ in a single d/l configuration. Rapid screening, involving simple matching of the NMR fingerprint of a newly isolated CLiP with that of a reference CLiP of known stereochemistry, can then be applied to resolve dead-ends in configurational characterization and avoid the much more cumbersome chemical characterization protocols. Even when the stereochemistry of a particular reference CLiP remains to be established, its spectral fingerprint allows to quickly verify whether a newly isolated CLiP is novel or already present in the reference collection. We show NMR fingerprinting leads to a simple approach for early on dereplication which should become more effective as more fingerprints are collected. To benefit research involving CLiPs, we have made a publicly available data repository accompanied by a ‘knowledge base’ at https://www.rhizoclip.be, where we present an overview of published NMR fingerprint data of characterized CLiPs, together with literature data on the originally determined structures. IMPORTANCE Pseudomonas CLiPs are ubiquitous specialized metabolites, impacting the producer’s lifestyle and interactions with the (a)biotic environment. Consequently, they generate interest for agricultural and clinical applications. Establishing structure-activity relationships as a premise to their development is hindered because full structural characterization including stereochemical information requires labor-intensive analyses, without guarantee for success. Moreover, increasing use of superficial comparison with previously characterized CLiPs introduces or propagates erroneous attributions, clouding further scientific progress. We provide a generally applicable characterization methodology based on matching NMR spectral fingerprints of newly isolated CLiPs to natural and synthetic reference compounds with (un)known stereochemistry. In addition, NMR fingerprinting is shown to provide a suitable basis for structural dereplication. A publicly available reference compound repository promises to facilitate participation of the lipopeptide research community in structural assessment and dereplication of newly isolated CLiPs, which should also support further developments in genome mining for novel CLiPs.
