Running rings around proteins: Protease-mediated biosynthesis of circular peptide and proteins Published abstract [PDF]
Ribosomally synthesized cyclic peptides ranging in size from 10-80 amino acids have been discovered in bacteria, plants and animals over the last decade [1]. Their head-totail cyclic peptide backbone, which means they are devoid of N- or C-termini, makes

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

Regulation of cyclic lipopeptide biosynthesis in Pseudomonas fluorescens by the ClpP protease [PDF]
Cyclic lipopeptides produced by Pseudomonas species exhibit potent surfactant and broad-spectrum antibiotic properties. Their biosynthesis is governed by large multimodular nonribosomal peptide synthetases, but little is known about the genetic ...

The benzodiazepine-like natural product tilivalline is produced by the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus eapokensis. [PDF]
The pyrrolobenzodiazepine tilivalline (1) was originally identified in the human gut pathobiont Klebsiella oxytoca, the causative agent of antibiotic-associated hemorrhagic colitis.

Put a Bow on It: Knotted Antibiotics Take Center Stage
Ribosomally-synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a large class of natural products produced across all domains of life. The lasso peptides, a subclass of RiPPs with a lasso-like structure, are structurally and functionally ...

Linking Peptide and Polyketide Biosynthesis.
organic chemist, natural chemistry within living organisms operates with protein catalysts. These catalysts assemble the reactants and perform their tasks in general in neutral aqueous media at ambient temperatures. To perform the synthesis of a complex metabolite, the proteins mayhave to interact in various ways.

Expression and purification of an adenylation domain from a eukaryotic nonribosomal peptide synthetase: Using structural genomics tools for a challenging target [PDF]
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are large multimodular and multidomain enzymes that are involved in synthesising an array of molecules that are important in human and animal health.
