Cyclopropane-containing amino acids are found in diverse natural products and contribute to their structural complexity and biological activity. However, the distribution of bacterial biosynthetic pathways that produce methylated cyclopropane amino acids and the structural basis of methyl-SAM recognition remain poorl...

The structural basis for peptide prenylation by a ComQ-family enzyme is established, providing insight into the evolution of peptide-based indole prenylation within the IPPS superfamily, and support the view that ComQ-family enzymes constitute a distinct functional branch specialized for peptide modification.
Nucleoside natural products exhibit diverse chemical architectures and potent biological activities, yet the biosynthetic strategies that generate their structural diversity remain incompletely understood. Here, we elucidate the early stage biosynthetic pathway of the cytidyl-cyclitol natural product K-563 and its deri...
