Abstract |
The non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are a family of modular enzymes involved in the production of peptide natural products. Not restricted by the constraints of ribosomal peptide and protein production, the NRPSs are able to incorporate unusual amino acids and other suitable building blocks into the final product. The NRPSs operate with an assembly line strategy in which peptide intermediates are covalently tethered to a peptidyl carrier protein and transported to different catalytic domains for the multiple steps in the biosynthesis. Often the carrier and catalytic domains are joined into a single large multidomain protein. This chapter serves to introduce the NRPS enzymes, using the nocardicin NRPS system as an example that highlights many common features to NRPS biochemistry. We then describe recent advances in the structural biology of NRPSs focusing on large multidomain structures that have been determined. |
