Chirality plays a crucial role in the iron uptake process, influencing the configuration of Fe(iii) complexes. Synthesizing different diastereomers of ferric complexes of triscatechol siderophores helped define the impact of Lys and Ser residues on the configuration of the complexes. Genomic searches in microbes identified biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for producing these diastereomers, with relevant genes found in plant and opportunistic pathogens.
Ferric complexes of triscatechol siderophores may assume one of two enantiomeric configurations at the iron site. Chirality is known to be important in the iron uptake process, however an understanding of the molecular features directing stereospecific coordination remains ambiguous. Synthesis of the full suite of (DHB(L/D)Lys(L/D)Ser)(3) macrolactone diastereomers, which includes the siderophore cyclic trichrysobactin (CTC), enables the effects that the chirality of Lys and Ser residues exert on the configuration of the Fe(iii) complex to be defined. Computationally optimized geometries indicate that the ?/Delta configurational preferences are set by steric interactions between the Lys sidechains and the peptide backbone. The ability of each (DHB(L/D)Lys(L/D)Ser)(3) diastereomer to form a stable Fe(iii) complex prompted a genomic search for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the synthesis of these diastereomers in microbes. The genome of the plant pathogen Dickeya chrysanthemi EC16 was sequenced and the genes responsible for the biosynthesis of CTC were identified. A related but distinct BGC was identified in the genome of the opportunistic pathogen Yersinia frederiksenii ATCC 33641; isolation of the siderophore from Y. frederiksenii ATCC 33641, named frederiksenibactin (FSB), revealed the triscatechol oligoester, linear-(DHB(L)Lys(L)Ser)(3). Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy establishes that Fe(iii)-CTC and Fe(iii)-FSB are formed in opposite enantiomeric configuration, consistent with the results of the ferric complexes of the cyclic (DHB(L/D)Lys(L/D)Ser)(3) diastereomers.
