Structure and Function of a Dehydrating Condensation Domain in Nonribosomal Peptide Biosynthesis

, 2022
Dehydroamino acids are important structural motifs and biosynthetic intermediates for natural products. Many bioactive natural products of nonribosomal origin contain dehydroamino acids; however, the biosynthesis of dehydroamino acids in most ...

Virulence, Host-Selective Toxin Production, and Development of Three Cochliobolus Phytopathogens Lacking the Sfp-Type 4′-Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase Ppt1

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015
The Sfp-type 4′-phosphopantetheinyl transferase Ppt1 is required for activation of nonribosomal peptide synthetases, including α-aminoadipate reductase (AAR) for lysine biosynthesis and polyketide synthases, enzymes that biosynthesize peptide and ...

Mining the Yucatan Coastal Microbiome for the Identification of Non-Ribosomal Peptides Synthetase (NRPS) Genes

Toxins, 2020
Prokaryotes represent a source of both biotechnological and pharmaceutical molecules of importance, such as nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). NRPs are secondary metabolites which their synthesis is independent of ribosomes.

Actinomycin Derivatives: Structural Diversification and Biological Activities

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Actinomycins are chromopeptide antibiotics exhibiting remarkable structural diversity and broad bioactivity. This review traces their development from naturally occurring D‐, X‐, A‐, G‐, Y‐, and Z‐type analogs to precursor‐directed, synthetic, and semisynthetic derivatives.

Structures of teixobactin-producing nonribosomal peptide synthetase condensation and adenylation domains

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2020
The recently discovered antibiotic teixobactin is produced by uncultured soil bacteria. The antibiotic inhibits cell wall synthesis of Gram-positive bacteria by binding to precursors of cell wall building blocks, and therefore it is thought to be less ...

Improved Incorporation of Arylglycines Into Ramoplanin Sequences via Solid‐Phase Peptide Synthesis

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 30, 12 August 2026.
The incorporation of arylglycines using solid‐phase peptide synthesis remains challenging due to the sensitivity of these residues for epimerization. Here, exploring multiple conditions for the incorporation of arylglycine residues into peptides using SPPS demonstrates how small changes to current synthesis protocols can lead to significant ...

Streptavidins Coordinate Biotin Sequestration and Self‐Resistance Within a Biotin‐Pathway Antibiotic Network

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.
A conserved genomic region between two streptavidin genes in Streptomyces packages biosynthetic gene clusters for diverse biotin‐pathway antibiotics: acidomycin, stravidin, the new non‐proteinogenic amino acid ANDA, and the new BioA inhibitor α‐methyl‐KAPA.

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

Exploring the Domain Structure of Modular Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases [PDF]

, 2001
Recently, considerable insight has been gained into the modular organization of nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). The three-dimensional structures of domains associated with substrate adenylation and covalent binding have been solved as well as ...
