Active site-directed proteomic probes for adenylation domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases.
We describe a general strategy for selective chemical labeling of individual adenylation (A) domains in nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) using active site-directed proteomic probes coupled to the 5'-O-N-(aminoacyl)sulfamoyladenosine (AMS) scaffold with a clickable benzophenone functionality. These proteomic tools can greatly facilitate the molecular identification, functional characteri...
متن کاملDissecting and exploiting nonribosomal peptide synthetases.
A large number of therapeutically useful cyclic and linear peptides of bacteria or fungal origin are synthesized via a template-directed, nucleic-acid-independent nonribosomal mechanism. This process is carried out by mega-enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). NRPSs contain repeated coordinated groups of active sites called modules, and each module is composed of several doma...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of condensation domains in the nonribosomal peptide synthetases.
Condensation (C) domains in the nonribosomal peptide synthetases are capable of catalyzing peptide bond formation between two consecutively bound various amino acids. C-domains coincide in frequency with the number of peptide bonds in the product peptide. In this study, a phylogenetic approach was used to investigate structural diversity of bacterial C-domains. Phylogenetic trees show that the ...
متن کاملExploring the Adenylation Domain Repertoire of Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases Using an Ensemble of Sequence-Search Methods
The introduction of two-dimension (2D) graphs and their numerical characterization for comparative analyses of DNA/RNA and protein sequences without the need of sequence alignments is an active yet recent research topic in bioinformatics. Here, we used a 2D artificial representation (four-color maps) with a simple numerical characterization through topological indices (TIs) to aid the discoveri...
متن کاملSpecific disulfide cross-linking to constrict the mobile carrier domain of nonribosomal peptide synthetases.
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases are large, multi-domain enzymes that produce peptide molecules with important biological activity such as antibiotic, antiviral, anti-tumor, siderophore and immunosuppressant action. The adenylation (A) domain catalyzes two reactions in the biosynthetic pathway. In the first reaction, it activates the substrate amino acid by adenylation and in the second reactio...
