10 on-ribosomal : Can a biosynthetic pathway be predicted from the structure??? 1. Recognize the amino acid building blocks and trace out the amide-bond backbone chain. 2. The peptide natural product is most likely made by the nonribosomal peptide synthetases if: Its cyclic. Look for the point of cyclizationmay be an ester. may be an amide bond formed with an amine side chain (I.e. Lys) Its a small peptide (less than 20 residues) It has unusual amino acids (A domains can incorporate unusual amino acids) or D amino acids 3. Identify the modifications to the basic peptide structure. The most common modifications are: Cyclization of cysteine, serine, threonine to thiazoline, oxazoline (Cy domain that replaces C domain) xidation of thiazoline/oxazoline to thiazole/oxazole (x domain) Reduction of thiazoline/oxazoline to thiazolidone/oxazolidone (Red domain) -methylation of amide amine(mt domain) Epimerization of L amino acid to D amino acid(e domain) ydroxylation at the beta carbon position of the amino acid side chain (Fe containing x domain) The protein domains that catalyze these reactions are typically adjacent to the C-A-PCP core domains that make the amide bond Addition of lipids, fatty acids, sugars happen after the core of the peptide has been formed, and the peptide has been released from the peptide synthetase by the thioesterase (TE) domain. We will discuss glycosylation later 10
