Abstract
The class III lanthipeptide synthetase (LanKC) installs unusual amino acids, such as lanthionine and labionin, in lanthipeptides. Through genome mining, we discovered a new class III lanthipeptide synthetase coding gene (nptKC) and precursor peptide coding genes (nptA1, nptA2, and nptA3) in the genome of the actinobacterium Nocardiopsis alba. Coexpression experiments of the biosynthetic genes in Escherichia coli resulted in the production of new lanthipeptides named nocardiopeptins A1-A3. Analysis of two-dimensional NMR spectra after enzymatic degradation and partial basic hydrolysis of nocardiopeptin A2 revealed that labionin was located in lanthionine with opposite orientations, forming a nesting structure in nocardiopeptin A2. To the best of our knowledge, this bridging pattern in the lanthipeptides was unprecedented, indicating a novel reaction characteristic of the class III lanthipeptide synthetase NptKC.
期刊介绍：
ACS Chemical Biology provides an international forum for the rapid communication of research that broadly embraces the interface between chemistry and biology.
The journal also serves as a forum to facilitate the communication between biologists and chemists that will translate into new research opportunities and discoveries. Results will be published in which molecular reasoning has been used to probe questions through in vitro investigations, cell biological methods, or organismic studies.
We welcome mechanistic studies on proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, lipids, and nonbiological polymers. The journal serves a large scientific community, exploring cellular function from both chemical and biological perspectives. It is understood that submitted work is based upon original results and has not been published previously.
