Abstract excerpt
Class II lanthipeptide synthetases (LanM enzymes) catalyze the multistep post-translational modification of genetically encoded precursor peptides into macrocyclic (often antimicrobial) lanthipeptides. The reaction sequence involves dehydration of serine/threonine residues, followed by intramolecular addition of cysteine thiols onto the nascent dehydration sites to construct thioether bridges. LanMs utilize two...
