Structures and function of a tailoring oxidase in complex with a nonribosomal peptide synthetase module

Nature Communications, 2022
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases work with additional enzymes to synthesise secondary metabolites and therapeutics. Here, the authors explore bacillamide D synthesis and show the oxidase action is done while the intermediate is attached to the synthetase

Nonribosomal Peptide Synthesis and Toxigenicity of Cyanobacteria [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1999
ABSTRACT Nonribosomal peptide synthesis is achieved in prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes by the thiotemplate function of large, modular enzyme complexes known collectively as peptide synthetases. These and other multifunctional enzyme complexes, such as polyketide synthases, are of interest due to their use in unnatural-product or ...

Genetic and functional characterization of the gene cluster directing the biosynthesis of putisolvin I and II in Pseudomonas putida strain PCL1445 [PDF]

, 2008
Pseudomonas putida PCL1445 secretes two cyclic lipopeptides, putisolvin I and putisolvin II, which possess a surface-tension-reducing ability, and are able to inhibit biofilm formation and to break down biofilms of Pseudomonas species including ...

Unveiling the Complete Biosynthetic Pathway of Azacitidine: A Rare 1,3,5‐Triazine Nucleoside Derived From GTP

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The azacitidine biosynthetic gene cluster (aza BGC) was identified by the resistance‐gene‐guided comparative genomics method in Streptomyces mobaraensis IPIO2. The complete biosynthetic pathway of azacitidine, which follows a “base‐first‐then‐glycosylation” logic, was elucidated through in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Catalytic trajectory of a dimeric nonribosomal peptide synthetase subunit with an inserted epimerase domain

Nature Communications, 2022
The catalytic domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are responsible for a choreography of events that elongates substrates into natural products.

Noncanonical Peloruside A Biosynthesis by an Uncultivated Verrucomicrobiota Symbiont

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Noncanonical biochemistry of the peloruside PKS characterized in this work, comprising double bond generation by a noncanonical tridomain (blue), acetyl‐CoA recycling (orange), and proofreading systems (purple and yellow). The Z‐double bond is installed by TEB1 through O‐acetylation and acetate elimination. The acyl ligase PelB (AL, orange) selectively

Resurrecting ancestral antibiotics: unveiling the origins of modern lipid II targeting glycopeptides

Nature Communications, 2023
Antibiotics are central to modern medicine, and yet they are mainly the products of intra and inter-kingdom evolutionary warfare. To understand how nature evolves antibiotics around a common mechanism of action, we investigated the origins of an ...

ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF A SECONDARY METABOLITE-PRODUCING CORAL BACTERIUM Pseudoalteromonas SPECIES [PDF]

, 2004
A bacterium, collected at the surface of coral Acropora sp., TAB4.2 was successfully screened for secondary metabolites production based on PCR amplification of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene.

Structure and Biosynthesis of Mangotoxin Produced by the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The structure of mangotoxin remained elusive for over two decades. Here, mangotoxin was isolated from the native producer, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, and was determined to be an alkyne‐containing dipeptide. Mangotoxin inhibited the growth of multidrug‐resistant human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae.

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

Angewandte 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.
