环聚糖的生物合成

摘要:环核苷酸是由基因编码、核糖体产生的环状蛋白。它们的生物合成是一个多步骤的过程，包括翻译、二硫异构化、运输、裂解和最后的环化。在这里，我们描述了这个过程，重点是环化步骤和执行它的液泡处理酶(VPE)。环肽前体蛋白含有指导细胞器靶向的原结构域，除了组成最终环产物的一个或多个结构域外，还含有环化所需的序列。vpe是一个半胱氨酸蛋白酶家族，通过适应其更常见的蛋白质水解机制来进行环化。vpe介导的环化依赖于短识别序列的存在(在成熟环肽结构域内和侧翼)，这些序列已经在体内和体外对原型环肽kalata B1进行了表征。最后，我们将vpe的环化与其他在自然界发现的或为生物技术开发的软蛋白环化方法进行了比较。了解环核苷酸的生物合成对基础科学和更广泛的蛋白质环化应用都很重要。

期刊介绍： Advances in Botanical Research (including Advances in Plant Pathology) have been published since 1963. The series has surpassed 85 volumes and features a wide range of reviews by recognized experts on all aspects of plant genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and ecology. This includes a comprehensive series of volumes dealing with the genome evolution of plants. Recent developments on plant metabolomics have also been described.
