Structure elucidation and biological activities of two classes of peptides produced by the actinomycete, Kitasatospora cystarginea
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Kitasatospora is a rare genus of Actinobacteria that represents an underexplored resource for the discovery of structurally diverse natural products. To highlight the production of unique metabolites produced by twelve members of this genus, the chemical screening method that combines LC-HRMS with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used. This approach identified the production of three novel compounds by K. cystarginea; which were determined to be a lipopeptide and two β-lactone containing peptide analogs, referred to as cystargamide and cystargolides A and B. Their structures were elucidated using NMR and MS/MS, and absolute configurations using advanced Marfey's Method. The therapeutic potential of cystargamide and cystargolides A and B were evaluated in several bioassays. Most notably, cystargolides A and B displayed inhibition of human 20S proteasome with IC50 values of 0.35 and 0.93µM respectively.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
