The structural basis of N-acyl-?-amino-?-lactone formation catalyzed by a nonribosomal peptide synthetase.

ABSTRACT: Nonribosomal peptide synthetases produce diverse natural products using a multidomain architecture where the growing peptide, attached to an integrated carrier domain, is delivered to neighboring catalytic domains for bond formation and modification. Investigation of these systems can lead to the discovery of new structures, unusual biosynthetic transformations, and to the engineering of catalysts for generating new products. The antimicrobial ?-lactone obafluorin is produced nonribosomally from dihydroxybenzoic acid and a ?-hydroxy amino acid that cyclizes into the ?-lactone during product release. Here we report the structure of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase ObiF1, highlighting the structure of the ?-lactone-producing thioesterase domain and an interaction between the C-terminal MbtH-like domain with an upstream adenylation domain. Biochemical assays examine catalytic promiscuity, provide mechanistic insight, and demonstrate utility for generating obafluorin analogs. These results advance our understanding of the structural cycle of nonribosomal peptide synthetases and provide insights into the production of ?-lactone natural products.

Project description:Recent papers have reported dipeptides containing d-amino acids to have novel effects that cannot be observed with ll-dipeptides, and such dipeptides are expected to be novel functional compounds for pharmaceuticals and food additives. Although the functions of d-amino acid-containing dipeptides are gaining more attention, there are few reports on the synthetic enzymes that can accept d-amino acids as substrates, and synthetic methods for d-amino acid-containing dipeptides have not yet been constructed. Previously, we developed a chemoenzymatic system for amide synthesis that comprised enzymatic activation and a subsequent nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this study, we demonstrated the application of the system for d-amino acid-containing-dipeptide synthesis. We chose six adenylation domains as targets according to our newly constructed hypothesis, i.e., an adenylation domain located upstream from the epimerization domain may activate d-amino acid as well as l-amino acid. We successfully synthesized over 40 kinds of d-amino acid-containing dipeptides, including ld-, dl-, and dd-dipeptides, using only two adenylation domains, TycA-A from tyrocidine synthetase and BacB2-A from bacitracin synthetase. Furthermore, this study offered the possibility that the epimerization domain could be a clue to the activity of the adenylation domains toward d-amino acid. This paper provides additional information regarding d-amino acid-containing-dipeptide synthesis through the combination of enzymatic adenylation and chemical nucleophilic reaction, and this system will be a useful tool for dipeptide synthesis.IMPORTANCE Because almost all amino acids in nature are l-amino acids, the functioning of d-amino acids has received little attention. Thus, there is little information available on the activity of enzymes toward d-amino acids or synthetic methods for d-amino acid-containing dipeptides. Recently, d-amino acids and d-amino acid-containing peptides have attracted attention as novel functional compounds, and d-amino acid-activating enzymes and synthetic methods are required for the development of the d-amino acid-containing-peptide industry. This study provides additional knowledge regarding d-amino acid-activating enzymes and proposes a unique synthetic method for d-amino acid-containing peptides, including ld-, dl-, and dd-dipeptides.
