Supramolecular Assembly of an Antimicrobial Peptide Into a Pore

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Supramolecular assembly of an AMP is linked to transport across the Staphylococcus aureus membrane. ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have long been ascribed the ability to form pores. These structures, some observed, others inferred, vary in their mechanisms of action, though most are associated with lysis.

Complete Pathway Refactoring and Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Anthracyclines for Modulation of Histone Eviction and DNA Damage Bioactivities

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic biology platform was established for the complete refactoring of complex anthracycline biosynthetic pathways in Streptomyces coelicolor using standardized, chemically synthetic DNA parts. This modular construction enabled streamlined combinatorial biosynthesis, yielding novel analogs that decouple DNA damage from chromatin damage (histone ...

Molecular Glue Degraders of TEM β‐Lactamases by Periplasmic Protease DegP

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Molecular glues are developed that target TEM‐family β‐lactamases to the bacterial protease DegP for degradation. β‐Lactamase inhibitor tazobactam is identified as accelerating TEM β‐lactamase degradation by DegP, which is further enhanced by linkerless incorporation of dipeptides enriched among DegP substrates.

Beyond Nature's Blueprint: Macrocyclic Peptides Containing Unnatural Amino Acids in Therapeutic Development

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Strategic incorporation of unnatural amino acids transforms macrocyclic peptides into drug‐like molecules capable of engaging challenging targets. These building blocks enhance stability, permeability, and bioavailability, accelerating the development of next‐generation peptide therapeutics.

Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

pH‐Driven Two‐Stage Conformational Switching Activates an Acid‐Responsive Chaperone

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
AchC is an ATP‐independent, pH‐responsive chaperone. AchC functions as a molecular switch, sensing pH changes and undergoing a two‐stage conformational transition: C‐terminal extension (colored in yellow) loosening at mild pH 4.0–5.5 and monomerization at strong acidic pH 3.0.
