Expressed protein ligation to probe regiospecificity of heterocyclization in the peptide antibiotic microcin B17.
BACKGROUND The Escherichia coli peptide antibiotic microcin B17 (MccB17) contains thiazole and oxazole heterocycles derived from a distributive yet directional cyclization of cysteines and serines in the McbA precursor catalyzed by MccB17 synthetase. Whether the formation of upstream rings potentiates downstream heterocyclization has not been previously determined. RESULTS McbA fragments (46-...
متن کاملFragments of the Bacterial Toxin Microcin B17 as Gyrase Poisons
Fluoroquinolones are very important drugs in the clinical antibacterial arsenal; their success is principally due to their mode of action: the stabilisation of a gyrase-DNA intermediate (the cleavage complex), which triggers a chain of events leading to cell death. Microcin B17 (MccB17) is a modified peptide bacterial toxin that acts by a similar mode of action, but is unfortunately unsuitable ...
متن کاملIn vitro characterization of DNA gyrase inhibition by microcin B17 analogs with altered bisheterocyclic sites.
Microcin B17 (MccB17) is a 3.1-kDa Escherichia coli antibiotic that contains thiazole and oxazole heterocycles in a peptide backbone. MccB17 inhibits its cellular target, DNA gyrase, by trapping the enzyme in a complex that is covalently bound to double-strand cleaved DNA, in a manner similar to the well-known quinolone drugs. The identification of gyrase as the target of MccB17 provides an opp...
متن کاملThermodynamics and Kinetics of Spiro-Heterocycle Formation Mechanism: Computational Study
Reaction mechanism among indoline-2,3-dione, pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid and (Z)-2-(1-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethylidene)hydroxycarboxamide to form 1’-((((aminooxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-2’-(1-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)-2’-methyl-1’,2’,5’,6’,7’,7a’-hexahydrospiro[indoline-3,3’-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2-one was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP basis theory. The three-...
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...
