Abstract excerpt
The radical S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) enzyme superfamily is remarkable at catalyzing chemically diverse and complex reactions. We have previously shown that NosL, which is involved in forming the indole side ring of the thiopeptide nosiheptide, is a radical AdoMet enzyme that processes L-Trp to afford 3-methyl-2-indolic acid (MIA) via an unusual fragmentation-recombination mechanism. We now report the...
