Evolution-guided adaptation of an adenylation domain substrate specificity to an unusual amino acid
Adenylation domains CcbC and LmbC control the specific incorporation of amino acid precursors in the biosynthesis of lincosamide antibiotics celesticetin and lincomycin. Both proteins originate from a common L-proline-specific ancestor, but LmbC was evolutionary adapted to use an unusual substrate, (2S,4R)-4-propyl-proline (PPL). Using site-directed mutagenesis of the LmbC substrate binding poc...
متن کاملNRPSpredictor2—a web server for predicting NRPS adenylation domain specificity
The products of many bacterial non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) are highly important secondary metabolites, including vancomycin and other antibiotics. The ability to predict substrate specificity of newly detected NRPS Adenylation (A-) domains by genome sequencing efforts is of great importance to identify and annotate new gene clusters that produce secondary metabolites. Prediction of...
متن کاملThe specificity-conferring code of adenylation domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases.
BACKGROUND Many pharmacologically important peptides are synthesized nonribosomally by multimodular peptide synthetases (NRPSs). These enzyme templates consist of iterated modules that, in their number and organization, determine the primary structure of the corresponding peptide products. At the core of each module is an adenylation domain that recognizes the cognate substrate and activates it...
متن کاملDirected Chemical Evolution with an Outsized Genetic Code
The first demonstration that macromolecules could be evolved in a test tube was reported twenty-five years ago. That breakthrough meant that billions of years of chance discovery and refinement could be compressed into a few weeks, and provided a powerful tool that now dominates all aspects of protein engineering. A challenge has been to extend this scientific advance into synthetic chemical sp...
متن کاملDirected evolution of the site specificity of Cre recombinase.
Cre recombinase from bacteriophage P1 recognizes a 34-bp recombination site, loxP, with exquisite sequence specificity and catalyzes the site-specific insertion, excision, or rearrangement of DNA. To better understand the molecular basis of protein-DNA recognition and generate recombinases with altered specificities, we have developed a directed evolution strategy that can be used to identify r...
