Abstract excerpt
Capistruin is a 19-residue ribosomally synthesized lasso peptide encoded by the capABCD gene cluster in Burkholderia thailandensis. It is composed of an N-terminal 9-residue macrolactam ring, through which the 10-residue C-terminal tail is threaded. Using a heterologous capistruin production system in Escherichia coli, we have generated 48 mutants of the precursor protein CapA to gain insights into capistruin...
