Chlorotonil A is a polyketide natural product produced by the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum So ce1525.[2] It displays antimalarial activity in an animal model,[3] and has in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity.[citation needed] The activity of chlorotonil A has been attributed to the gem-dichloro-1,3-dione moiety, which is a unique functionality in polyketides. In addition to its unique halogenation, the structure of chlorotonil A has also garnered interest due to its similarity to anthracimycin, a polyketide natural product with antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
Biosynthesis
Chlorotonil A is synthesized from a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS). This gene cluster does not have any acyltransferase (AT) domains, indicating that it is a trans-AT PKS; in these systems, there is a tandem-AT domain that loads the extender subunits onto the acyl carrier protein (ACP) and checks the intermediates, rather than individual AT domains in each module. The gene cluster of chlorotonil A is organized so that the initiator, acetyl-CoA, is loaded onto the tandem-AT domain, then is iteratively elongated with malonyl-CoA units to construct the macrolactone backbone. At modules 3 and 7, a double bond shift occurs in the elongation module to allow for the β,γ-unsaturation and α-methylation. There is a spontaneous, non-enzymatic intramolecular Diels-Alder-like [4+2] cycloaddition at module 8 to furnish the decalin motif.
Following macrolactonization by the thioesterase domain of module 10, the premature chlorotonil A core is chlorinated twice by CtoA, a flavin-dependent halogenase. The halogenated core is then methylated by the standalone SAM-dependent methyltransferase CtoF to yield chlorotonil A.[4]
