Characterization of a Fungal Modular Polyketide Synthase System Reveals an Unusual Strategy for Polyketide Chain Initiation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fungal modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) remain largely unexplored. Functional characterization of the LasC/LasD assembly line established its role in strasseriolide C biosynthesis and suggested an unexpected strategy for chain initiation, in which a malonyl unit is transferred from the module 2 acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains to the loading ACP ...

Broad‐Spectrum, Cell Envelope‐Active Marinocyclin Antibiotics From a Coral‐Derived Bacterium Are Effective Against Colistin‐Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

Heterologous immunity revisited

open access: yes, 2015
Heterologous immunity, or protection by one invading organism against another across phylogenetic divides, has been recognised for decades. It was initially thought to operate largely through enhancement of phagocytosis, but this explanation became ...

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...

Gain‐of‐Function Engineering of the NifEN Scaffold Into a Self‐Assembling Nitrogenase

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
From scaffold to enzyme: Systematic engineering of the cofactor maturation scaffold NifEN reconstructs the P→M electron relay along with cofactor coordination and proton gating at the S2B site, converting NifEN into a functional nitrogenase capable of ATP‐dependent N2 reduction both in vitro and in vivo.
