Characterization of a dual function macrocyclase enables design and use of efficient macrocyclization substrates
- Abstract:
-
Peptide macrocycles are promising therapeutic molecules because they are protease resistant, structurally rigid, membrane permeable and capable of modulating protein-protein interactions. Here, we report the characterization of the dual function macrocyclase-peptidase enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the highly toxic Amanitin toxin family of macrocycles. The enzyme first removes 10 residues from the N-terminus of a 35-residue substrate. Conformational trapping of the 25 amino acid pepti...
