项目标书摘要:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lanthipeptides are post-translationally modified peptide with a variety of biological activities. Nisin, its best known member, has been used for decades in the food industry without significant development of resistance. Other lanthipeptides are under investigation or in clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and for the treament of multi-drug resistant bacteria. In this grant application we seek to extend our past success towards the use of the biosynthetic machinery as tools for biotechnology and to better understand their mechanism of substrate recognition and catalysis. Our goals are: 1. Understand the enzymes involved in lanthipeptide biosynthesis. 2. Engineer efficient processes to use posttranslationally modified peptide natural products for various applications. 3. Investigate new posttranslationally modified peptide natural products.

    Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides containing thioether cross-links formed through addition of a cysteine to a dehydroalanine (to form lanthionine) or to a dehydrobutyrine (to form 3-methyllanthionine). Genome sequencing of marine cyanobacteria lead to the discovery of 1.6 million open reading frames encoding lanthipeptides. In many cases, a genome encodes a single lanthipeptide synthetase, but a large number of substrates. The enzymatic modification process in Prochlorococcus MIT9313 has been reconstituted in vitro, and a variety of experimental approaches have been used to try and understand how one enzyme is capable of modifying 30 different substrates. The methods used to characterize this system will be described along with a brief genomic description of the lanthipeptide landscape found in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus.
