Global analysis of adenylate-forming enzymes reveals β-lactone biosynthesis pathway in pathogenic <i>Nocardia</i>
2019-11-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Enzymes that cleave ATP to activate carboxylic acids play essential roles in primary and secondary metabolism in all domains of life. Class I adenylate-forming enzymes share a conserved structural fold but act on a wide range of substrates to catalyze reactions involved in bioluminescence, nonribosomal peptide biosynthesis, fatty acid activation, and β-lactone formation. Despite their metabolic...
