Mechanism of pyranopterin ring formation in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis.
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is essential for all kingdoms of life, plays central roles in various biological processes, and must be biosynthesized de novo. During Moco biosynthesis, the characteristic pyranopterin ring is constructed by a complex rearrangement of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) into cyclic pyranopterin (cPMP) through the action of two enzymes, MoaA and MoaC (molybdenum cofac...
متن کاملEnzymology of Pyran Ring A Formation in Salinomycin Biosynthesis
Tetrahydropyran rings are a common feature of complex polyketide natural products, but much remains to be learned about the enzymology of their formation. The enzyme SalBIII from the salinomycin biosynthetic pathway resembles other polyether epoxide hydrolases/cyclases of the MonB family, but SalBIII plays no role in the conventional cascade of ring opening/closing. Mutation in the salBIII gene...
متن کاملFormation of Bacitracin by Washed Cell Suspensions of Bacillus Licheniformis.
Although the microbial formation of a variety of polypeptides possessing antibiotic activities has been known for some time, the biosynthesis of these compounds has as yet received little attention. Not only is the mechatnism of formation of these biologically active compounds of interest in itself, but the biosyntheses of these polypeptides are potential systems for investigating the general p...
متن کاملEXAFS study of zinc coordination in bacitracin A.
Bacitracin is a dodecapeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus sp. The antibacterial activity depends upon the peptide binding a divalent metal. Hitherto, the exact coordination of the cation has not been established. In particular the role played by the sulphur and nitrogen atoms of the thiazoline ring of bacitracin A has not been clear. Here the coordination of Zn2+ by bacitracin A has been st...
متن کاملAb initio simulation of chemical shift effects from metal ion binding in Bacitracin A
Ab initio calculations of a chemical shift at the HF/6-31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level on a model system representing the interaction between Zn++ and the thiazoline ring of Bacitracin A is used for studying the binding mode between the metal ion and the ring system. The simulations show that a reinterpretation of the shift effects seen in the NMR spectra of the zinc–Bacitracin A complex may be ...
