Lassomycin, a Ribosomally Synthesized Cyclic Peptide, Kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Targeting the ATP-Dependent Protease ClpC1P1P2

Abstract: Summary Languishing antibiotic discovery and flourishing antibiotic resistance have prompted development of alternative untapped sources for antibiotic discovery, including previously uncultured bacteria. Here, we screen extracts from uncultured species against M. tuberculosis and identify lassomycin, an antibiotic that exhibits potent bactericidal activity against both growing and dormant mycobacteria, including drug-resistant forms of M. tuberculosis, but little activity against other bacteria or mammalian c… Show more

“…Herein, we identified and thoroughly characterized the responsible enzyme. Descriptions of lasso peptide tailoring in the literature are notably rare (the only examples are C-terminal methylation of lassomycin (20) and Trp hydroxylation of some RES-701 family lasso peptides).…”

“…The PadeA (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) peptide consisting of the last 11 residues of the precursor peptide is converted with moderate efficiency and can be quickly and easily accessed by chemical synthesis. It was therefore selected as a scaffold for more intricate exchanges of the C-terminal Ser.…”
