Maturation by LctT is required for biosynthesis of full-length lantibiotic lacticin 481.
In lantibiotic lacticin 481 biosynthesis, LctT cleaves the precursor peptide and exports mature lantibiotic. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry revealed that a truncated form of lacticin 481 is produced in the absence of LctT or after cleavage site inactivation. Production of truncated lacticin 481 is 4-fold less efficient, and its specific activity is ...
متن کاملLacticin 481 Synthetase as a General Serine/Threonine Kinase
Methods that introduce posttranslational modifications in a general, mild, and non-sequence-specific manner using biologically produced peptides have great utility for investigation of the functions of these modifications. In this study, the substrate promiscuity of a lantibiotic synthetase was exploited for the preparation of phosphopeptides, glycopeptides, and peptides containing analogs of m...
متن کاملLacticin 481: in vitro reconstitution of lantibiotic synthetase activity.
The lantibiotic lacticin 481 is synthesized on ribosomes as a prepeptide (LctA) and posttranslationally modified to its mature form. These modifications include dehydration of serines and threonines, followed by intramolecular addition of cysteines to the unsaturated amino acids, which generates cyclic thioethers. This process breaks eight chemical bonds and forms six newbonds and is catalyzed ...
متن کاملp53 isoform Δ133p53 promotes efficiency of induced pluripotent stem cells and ensures genomic integrity during reprogramming
Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have great potential in regenerative medicine, but this depends on the integrity of their genomes. iPS cells have been found to contain a large number of de novo genetic alterations due to DNA damage response during reprogramming. Thus, to maintain the genetic stability of iPS cells is an important goal in iPS cell technology. DNA damage response can t...
متن کاملIncreased Abscisic Acid Biosynthesis during Plant Dehydration
Excised pea plants were rapidly dehydrated to turgor pressures of 1.5 to 2.0 bars. After a 30 minute lag, abscisic acid (ABA) levels increased approximately 100-fold in the dehydrated plants. Pretreatment of plants with the transcription inhibitors actinomycin D or cordycepin or with an inhibitor of cytoplasmic protein synthesis prior to plant dehydration inhibited the synthesis of ABA. These r...
