Structure and Function of a Dual Reductase-Dehydratase Enzyme System Involved in p-Terphenyl Biosynthesis

Jonathan A. Clinger et al.

Summary: This study identified the ter gene cluster in the Appalachian Streptomyces strain RM-S-8 responsible for producing terfestatins B and C, as well as echoside B. It characterizes the dual enzyme system of TerB/C, with TerB acting as a reductase and TerC as a dehydratase in the biosynthesis of natural terphenyls. X-ray crystallography of both enzymes provides mechanistic insights, while mutagenesis validation of the TerC structural model highlights the critical role of arginine 143 and aspartate 173 in catalysis. Overall, this work advances our understanding of early steps in terphenyl biosynthesis.

Regiospecific Synthesis of Calcium-Independent Daptomycin Antibiotics using a Chemoenzymatic Method

Nagaraju Mupparapu et al.

Summary: Daptomycin (DAP) is a calcium (Ca2+)-dependent FDA-approved antibiotic drug for the treatment of Gram-positive infections. The modified DAP analogues showed significantly increased activity against both antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, without the need for calcium or other additional elements for activity.

Negishi Cross-Coupling Provides Alkylated Tryptophans and Tryptophan Regioisomers

Steffen Dachwitz et al.

Summary: Mild transition-metal catalysed cross-couplings allow for direct functionalization of biocatalytically halogenated tryptophans and provide a simple way to synthesize (homo)tryptophan regioisomers. This method offers non-canonical constitutional surrogates of tryptophan for use in peptide synthesis.
