Ustiloxins, antimitotic cyclic peptides from false smut balls on rice panicles caused by Ustilaginoidea virens.

Ustiloxins A (1a), B (1b), C (1c), D (1d) and E (1e), antimitotic peptides, have been isolated from the water extract of false smut balls caused on the panicles of rice plant by a fungus Ustilaginoidea virens. The structure of 1b was assigned from its spectral property and its amino acid analysis in relation to 1a whose structure was determined previously by a combination of X-ray crystallograp...

Natural Ribosomally Synthesized Circular Proteins

Over recent years several examples of natural ribosomally synthesized circular proteins from a diverse range of organisms have been discovered. They are special molecules, whose precursors must be posttranslationally modified to join the N to C termini with a head-to-tail peptide bond. This feature appears to have a range of potential advantages over their linear counterparts, since they are le...

Proopiomelanocortin-derived Peptides Are Synthesized

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC), the precursor for melanotropic, corticotropic, and opioid peptides such as a-melanocytestimulating hormone (aMSH), ACTH, and other related peptides, was originally identified as a product of the pituitary gland. However, recent evidence shows that POMC products can also be produced by nonpituitary tissues. Because keratinocytes, the major constituent of the epidermis...

Radical SAM Enzymes in the Biosynthesis of Ribosomally Synthesized and Post-translationally Modified Peptides (RiPPs)

Ribosomally-synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a large and diverse family of natural products. They possess interesting biological properties such as antibiotic or anticancer activities, making them attractive for therapeutic applications. In contrast to polyketides and non-ribosomal peptides, RiPPs derive from ribosomal peptides and are post-translationally modi...

Post-translational Introduction of d-Alanine into Ribosomally Synthesized Peptides by the Dehydroalanine Reductase NpnJ

Ribosomally synthesized peptides are generally limited to L-amino acid building blocks. Given the advantageous properties of peptides containing D-amino acids such as stabilization of certain turns and against proteolytic degradation, methods to introduce D-stereocenters are valuable. Here we report the first in vitro reconstitution and characterization of a dehydrogenase that carries out the a...
