Substrate-Dependent Crosslinking by the Cytochrome P450 From Aminopyruvatide Biosynthesis.

Cytochrome P450s catalyze an array of reactions including crosslinking of aromatic side chains in the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). ApyO is a cytochrome P450 that forms a C─C bond between two tyrosines in a YLY motif in the substrate ApyA, the precursor pept...

A New Enzyme Family Catalyzing Methyllanthionine Sulfoxide Formation in Anti-phage Lanthipeptides

Lanthipeptides are one of the largest classes of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). The coi biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) encodes a canonical class I lanthipeptide dehydratase (CoiB) and cyclase (CoiC), a bifunctional enzyme (CoiSA) with an O...

Unconventional Biocatalytic Strategies Orchestrate the Synthesis of the Nucleoside Analog Sinefungin

In vitro and in vivo analyses support a recent finding that the defining carbon-carbon bond is formed not by a long-hypothesized PLP-dependent process, but by a vitamin B12-dependent radical SAM enzyme, and expand upon the current knowledge of radical-mediated C-C bond formation and PEARL enzyme catalysis.

Mapping the sequence preference of the generalist class II lanthipeptide synthetase ProcM by mRNA display

This study uses the ultrahigh-throughput mRNA display technique to map the sequence compatibility of ProcM across a focused library and provides a high-throughput view of ProcM reactivity and highlights differences with previous high-throughput studies on substrate selectivity of RiPP modification enzymes.
