Bacillus subtilis strain ATCC6633 has been identified as a producer of mycosubtilin, a potent antifungal peptide antibiotic. Mycosubtilin, which belongs to the iturin family of lipopeptide antibiotics, is characterized by a beta-amino fatty acid moiety linked to the circular heptapeptide Asn-Tyr-Asn-Gln-Pro-Ser-Asn, with the second, third, and sixth position present in the D-configuration. The ...
Abstract Repurposing the enzymes in microbial metabolism such as nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) is explored a route towards better antibiotics. NRPSs are gigantic enzymatic assembly lines that form highly modified peptides from diverse building blocks. A novel hydroxamate assay detects full substrate profiles of cell-like mixtures. Facile recording has applications natural product dis...
Combinatorial libraries of non-biological polymers and drug-like peptides could in principle be synthesized from unnatural amino acids by exploiting the broad substrate specificity of the ribosome. The ribosomal synthesis of such libraries would allow rare functional molecules to be identified using technologies developed for the in vitro selection of peptides and proteins. Here, we use a recon...
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are central enzymes in protein translation, providing the charged tRNAs needed for appropriate construction of peptide chains. These enzymes have long been pursued as drug targets in bacteria and fungi, but the past decade has seen considerable research on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in eukaryotic parasites. Existing inhibitors of bacterial tRNA synthetases have been a...
In spite of many efforts, the prediction of the location of proteins in eukaryotic cells (cytoplasm, mitochondrion or chloroplast) is still far from straightforward. In some cases (e.g. ribosomal proteins and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases) both the cytoplasmic proteins and their organellar counterparts are encoded by the nuclear genome. A factorial correspondence analysis of the codon usage in yea...
Fungi from the genus Aspergillus are important saprophytes and opportunistic human fungal pathogens that contribute in these and other diverse ways to human well-being. Part of their impact on human well-being stems from the production of small molecular weight secondary metabolites, which may contribute to the ability of these fungi to cause invasive fungal infections and allergic diseases. In...
Protein synthesis is a complex, multi-step process involving many enzymes as well as conformational alignment. However, the majority of antibiotics that block bacterial protein synthesis interfere with the processes at the 30S subunit or 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosome. The aminoacyltRNA synthetases that activate each amino acid required for peptide synthesis are not antibiotic target...
