Heterologous expression has emerged as an effective strategy in activating Streptomyces cryptic gene clusters or improving yield. Eight compounds were successfully obtained by heterologous expression of the type II PKS gene cluster spi derived from marine Streptomyces sp. HDN155000 in the chassis host Streptomyces albus J1074. The structures with absolute configurations were elucidated using extensive MS and NMR spectroscopic methods, as well as theoretical NMR calculations and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Interestingly, compound WS009 Z (2) contains a rare thiomethyl group, angumycinone T (4) has a novel oxo-bridge formed between C12a and C4, and angumycinone X (3) showed cytotoxicity toward K562 and NCI-H446/EP cell lines.
