Artificial lantipeptides from in vitro translationsw
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have devised a protocol for enzyme-free insertion of dehydroalanine, dehydrobutyrine and thioether crosslinks into translated peptides. In vitro translation using 4-selenalysine and 4-selenoisoleucine as substitutes for lysine and isoleucine yields peptides that can be converted to polycyclic structures using mild chemistry in water. This methodology presents a gateway for exploring the potential of artificial lantipeptides as scaffolds for drug development.

In Vitro Selection of Functional Lantipeptides
In this report we present a method to identify functional artificial lantipeptides. In vitro translation coupled with an enzyme-free protocol for posttranslational modification allows preparation of more than 10(11) different lanthionine containing peptides. This diversity can be searched for functional molecules using mRNA-lantipeptide display. We validated this approach by isolating binders t...
متن کاملProduction of Lantipeptides in Escherichia coli
Lantipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides containing thioether cross-links. We describe the preparation of seven different lantipeptides in Escherichia coli and demonstrate that this methodology can be used to incorporate nonproteinogenic amino acids.

The present study aimed to compare the in vitro fertilizing capacity of frozen-thawed ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa in order to standardize the semen preparation protocol for camel in vitro fertilization (IVF). Semen samples were collected from 7 Dromedary camels by means of artificial vagina (AV). Ten cauda epididymes were obtained from slaughtered adult camels, isolated, incised and r...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of the Class III Lantipeptide Catenulipeptin
Lantipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides containing lanthionine and/or labionin structures. In this study, a novel class III lantipeptide termed catenulipeptin was discovered from Catenulispora acidiphila DSM 44928, and its biosynthesis was reconstituted in vitro. The multifunctional enzyme AciKC catalyzes both dehydration and cyclization of its peptid...
