Autocatalytic backbone N-methylation in a family of ribosomal peptide natural products.
Peptide backbone N-methylation, as seen in cyclosporin A, has been considered to be exclusive to nonribosomal peptides. We have identified the first post-translationally modified peptide or protein harboring internal α-N-methylations through discovery of the genetic locus for the omphalotins, cyclic N-methylated peptides produced by the fungus Omphalotus olearius. We show that iterative autocat...
متن کاملReconstitution of peptide bond formation with Escherichia coli 23S ribosomal RNA domains.
It was recently demonstrated that peptide bond formation can occur using an Escherichia coli naked 23S ribosomal RNA without any of the ribosomal proteins. Here, the six domains of the 23S ribosomal RNA were individually synthesized and shown to be capable, when complexed together, of stimulating the reaction. Omission and addition experiments indicated that the activity could be reconstituted ...
متن کاملContribution of Peptide Backbone to Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Reactivity.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases, affecting approximately 1-2% of the world population. One of the characteristic features of RA is the presence of autoantibodies. Especially the highly specific anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPAs), which have been found in up to 70% of RA patients' sera, have received much attention. Several citrullinated protein...
متن کاملProduction of Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetase (NRPS)- Dependent Siderophore by Aeromonas Isolates
Background: Aeromonas species are Gram-negative ubiquitous bacteria, facultative anaerobic rods that infect both invertebrates and vertebrates. Various fish species develop hemorrhagic disease and furunculosis due to Aeromonas spp. Aeromonas strains generate certain active compounds such as siderophores, which are the final products of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) activity. The prese...
متن کاملAib-based peptide backbone as scaffolds for helical peptide mimics.
Helical peptides that can intervene and disrupt therapeutically important protein-protein interactions are attractive drug targets. In order to develop a general strategy for developing such helical peptide mimics, we have studied the effect of incorporating alpha-amino isobutyric acid (Aib), an amino acid with strong preference for helical backbone, as the sole helix promoter in designed pepti...
