Abstract
ThiF-like enzymes are present in diverse RiPP biosynthetic pathways and are known to catalyze reactions such as thiolactone and phosphoramidate bond formation. To uncover new chemical space for ThiF-like enzymes, we utilized a global genome mining approach and identified a minimal ind RiPP cluster in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. In vitro characterization of IndF demonstrated the first indolylamide (Trp-Ile) linkage in a RiPP pathway and a new reaction type catalyzed by a ThiF-like enzyme.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
