Abstract

Recently, ω-ester-containing peptides (OEPs) were indicated to be a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides. Based on genome mining, new biosynthetic gene cluster of OEPs was found in the genome sequence of actinobacterium Streptomyces prunicolor. The biosynthetic gene cluster contained just two genes including precursor peptide (pruA) and ATP-grasp ligase (pruB) coding genes. Heterologous co-expression of the two genes was accomplished using expression vector pET-41a(+) in Escherichia coli. As a result, new OEP named prunipeptin was produced by this system. By site-directed mutagenesis experiment, a variant peptide prunipeptin 15HW was obtained. The bridging pattern of prunipeptin 15HW was determined by combination of chemical cleavage and MS experiments. Prunipeptin 15HW possessed bicyclic structure with an ester bond and an isopeptide bond. The ATP-grasp ligase PruB was indicated to catalyze the two different intramolecular bonds.
