Systematic analysis of the kalimantacin assembly line NRPS module using an adapted targeted mutagenesis approach

MicrobiologyOpen, 2016
Kalimantacin is an antimicrobial compound with strong antistaphylococcal activity that is produced by a hybrid trans‐acyltransferase polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthetase system in Pseudomonas fluorescens BCCM_ID9359.

Piecing together nonribosomal peptide synthesis

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2018
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) produce peptide products with wide-ranging biological activities. NRPSs are macromolecular machines with modular assembly-line logic, a complex catalytic cycle, moving parts and multiple active sites. They are organized into repeating sets of domains, called modules.

Dissecting and Exploiting Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases

Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2004
A large number of therapeutically useful cyclic and linear peptides of bacteria or fungal origin are synthesized via a template-directed, nucleic-acid-independent nonribosomal mechanism. This process is carried out by mega-enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs).

Sfp-type PPTase inactivation promotes bacterial biofilm formation and ability to enhance wheat drought tolerance

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Paenibacillus polymyxa is a common soil bacterium with broad range of practical applications. An important group of secondary metabolites in P. polymyxa are nonribosomal peptide and polyketide derived metabolites (NRP/PK).

Antibacterial Property of a Coral-Associated Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea Against Shrimp Pathogenic Vibrio harveyi (In Vitro Study)

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2005
A coral-associated bacterium was successfully screened for secondary metabolites production based on PCR amplification of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene and was identified as closely related to Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea based on its 16S ...

Prediction of monomer isomery in Florine: a workflow dedicated to nonribosomal peptide discovery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Nonribosomal peptides represent a large variety of natural active compounds produced by microorganisms. Due to their specific biosynthesis pathway through large assembly lines called NonRibosomal Peptide Synthetases (NRPSs), they often display complex ...

Norine: update of the nonribosomal peptide resource.

Nucleic acids research, 2019
Norine, the unique resource dedicated to nonribosomal peptides (NRPs), is now updated with a new pipeline to automate massive sourcing and enhance annotation. External databases are mined to extract NRPs that are not yet in Norine. To maintain a high data quality, successive filters are applied to automatically validate the NRP annotations and only ...
