Redirecting RiPP Biosynthetic Enzymes to Proteins and Backbone-Modified Substrates

Abstract: Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are peptide-derived natural products with potent antibiotic, antiviral, and anticancer properties. RiPP enzymes known as cyclodehydratases and dehydrogenases work together to catalyze intramolecular, inter-residue condensation and dehydrogenation reactions that install oxazoline/oxazole and thiazoline/thiazole heterocycles within ribosomally produced polypeptide chains. Here, we show that the previously reported enzymes MicD-F and ArtGo… Show more

“…This makes proteins with a wide range of non‐canonical terminal and internal functionalisations accessible. A recent publication [14] also reports protein backbone cyclization by RiPP maturases to form five‐membered heterocycles, suggesting that further peptide maturases might be adaptable to proteins. In addition to their extended carbon backbone, ketoamide units may introduce protease inhibitor pharmacophores and electronically distinct reaction sites for artificial enzymes and orthogonal modifications, thus offering diverse avenues for in vivo and in vitro applications.…”

“…[8,9] While backbone modifications are known from synthetic molecules as well as non-ribosomal and ribosomally synthesized peptides, [10][11][12][13] few natural examples exist for proteins, all of them preserving the α-amino acid topology. [1,14] We recently reported tyramine excision, an unusual modification for ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that introduces α-keto-βamino acid residues into the cyanobacterial ca. 100 aa ribosomal precursors PlpA3 and PlpA2.…”

“…α‐Keto‐β‐amino acid moieties occur in various natural and synthetic bioactive compounds [4] that typically target proteases [5–7] including M pro in SARS‐CoV virus [8, 9] . While backbone modifications are known from synthetic molecules as well as non‐ribosomal and ribosomally synthesized peptides, [10–13] few natural examples exist for proteins, all of them preserving the α‐amino acid topology [1, 14] …”

“…Their later proteolytic cleavage enables scarless synthesis of diverse, bioactive peptides using highly conserved RSs and biosynthetic enzymes. ,,, Indeed, because of these properties, cyanobactin heterocyclases including PatD, TruD, and LynD are unusually promiscuous and have been widely used in the synthesis of thousands of diverse compounds, including those with nonproteinogenic analogs of Ser, Thr, and Cys residues (Figure B). Recently, these enzymes have even been used in the context of whole proteins to install heterocycles …”
