A Radical Addition–Diradical Coupling Switch Unifies Cytochrome P450-Catalyzed Diketopiperazine Dimerization

Cytochrome P450 dimerases generate the remarkable structural diversity of dimeric diketopiperazine (DKP) natural products through highly selective intermolecular radical-mediated reactions. Although radical addition mechanisms have been established for most bacterial DKP dimerization modes, the molecular basis underl...

Structural and Mechanistic Basis of Dual Substrate Promiscuity in the Acyltransferase AntB Enables Late-Stage Diversification of Natural Products.

Biocatalytic regioselective acylation is a powerful strategy for diversifying natural products and optimizing their pharmacological properties. Compared with plant acyltransferases (ATs), bacterial tailoring ATs remain poorly understood. AntB from the antimycin pathway was previously reported to possess acyl-donor prom...

Systematic pathway engineering of Escherichia coli for enhanced 3’-sialyllactose production

3’-Sialyllactose (3’-SL), the simplest sialylated human milk oligosaccharide (HMO), is widely incorporated into infant formula due to its roles in shaping the gut microbiota, inhibiting pathogen adhesion, and supporting neurodevelopment. In this study, we developed an efficient microbial cell factory for 3’-SL producti...

Iterative Enoyl Reduction by a FabV-Family Enzyme Expands the Chemical Landscape of Discrete Polyketide Synthases.

PbrC16, a FabV-family ER from a manumycin-type biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in Peterkaempfera bronchialis is characterized and reveals the molecular basis for its exceptional substrate promiscuity and versatile acyl carrier protein (ACP) recognition.
