Metal-dependent enzyme symmetry guides the biosynthetic flux of terpene precursors

Felix Ecker et al.

Summary: In this study, a metal-dependent, bifunctional isoprenyl diphosphate synthase from the leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae was characterized. The cooperative effects within the homodimer strongly depend on the provided metal ions and regulate the biosynthetic flux of terpene precursors. A unique chain length determination domain adapts to form geranyl or farnesyl pyrophosphate by altering enzyme symmetry and ligand affinity between both subunits. Additionally, an allosteric geranyl-pyrophosphate-specific binding site similar to end-product inhibition in human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase was identified. The findings reveal a deeply intertwined reaction mechanism in the P. cochleariae isoprenyl diphosphate synthase.

antiSMASH 7.0: new and improved predictions for detection, regulation, chemical structures and visualisation

Kai Blin et al.

Summary: Microorganisms produce small bioactive compounds that have antimicrobial, anticancer, antifungal, antiviral, or other bio-activities, making them important for medicine and agriculture. Genome mining is a widely-used method to explore and analyze the biodiversity of these compounds, and the 'antibiotics and secondary metabolite analysis shell-antiSMASH' is the most widely used tool for this purpose. The updated version 7 of antiSMASH, with improvements in cluster types, chemical structure prediction, enzymatic assembly-line visualization, and gene cluster regulation, is presented here.

Catalysts for the Enzymatic Lipidation of Peptides

Yiwu Zheng et al.

Summary: Biologically active peptides, such as cyanobactins, are modified with lipids to enhance therapeutic potential. The F family of peptide prenyltransferases have diverse acceptor residue specificities, making them suitable for enzymatic prenylation of peptide substrates. These enzymes are attractive catalysts for synthetic biology approaches in generating high-value peptidic therapeutics.

LimF is a versatile prenyltransferase for histidine-C-geranylation on diverse non-natural substrates

Yuchen Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reports a new prenyltransferase, LimF, which geranylates the electron-deficient C2 atom of His imidazole and modifies diverse exotic peptides. Crystallographic analysis provides structural insights into the bifunctionality of LimF and its recognition of substrates. Moreover, the study shows the prenylation ability of LimF on various bioactive molecules containing an imidazole group.

Post-translational modification of RAS proteins

Sharon L. Campbell et al.

Summary: Mutations in RAS genes are the most common driving force behind cancer development. RAS proteins, acting as binary molecular switches, control cellular growth through a complex signaling pathway. In addition to nucleotide-binding properties, RAS proteins are also regulated by numerous post-translational modifications, which are currently a high priority for drug discovery research in the field of RAS biology.

Genome-Mining-Based Discovery of the Cyclic Peptide Tolypamide and TolF, a Ser/Thr Forward O-Prenyltransferase

Mugilarasi Purushothaman et al.

Summary: Genome mining was used to identify a novel cyanobactin metabolite tolypamide from the freshwater cyanobacterium Tolypothrix sp., which features an unprecedented post-translational prenylation modification on a threonine residue. The enzyme TolF shows strict selectivity for prenylation of serine or threonine, providing potential as a robust tool for synthetic biology.

Argicyclamides A-C Unveil Enzymatic Basis for Guanidine Bis-prenylation

Chin-Soon Phan et al.

Summary: The study identified a new class of cyanobactins called argicyclamides from Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-88, which exhibit unique mono- and bis-prenylations on guanidine moieties. By isolating and characterizing biosynthetic enzymes, including a new guanidine prenyltransferase AgcF, the genetic basis of argicyclamide biosynthesis was established, shedding light on the biosynthesis of prenylated guanidines and providing a new toolkit for peptide modification.

New developments in RiPP discovery, enzymology and engineering

Manuel Montalban-Lopez et al.

Summary: This article reviews the research progress of ribosomally-synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) as of June 2020, including the discovery of new RiPP classes, deeper understanding of the mechanisms for the installation of post-translational modifications, and the mechanisms by which enzymes recognize leader peptides. Additionally, genome mining tools and strategies for RiPP engineering are also discussed in the review.
