  ABSTRACT  
 
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are modular multidomain enzymes that act as an assembly line to catalyze the biosynthesis of complex natural products. The crystal structure of the 144-kilodalton Bacillus subtilis termination module SrfA-C was solved at 2.6 angstrom resolution. The adenylation and condensation domains of SrfA-C associate closely to form a catalytic platform, with their active sites on the same side of the platform. The peptidyl carrier protein domain is flexibly tethered to this platform and thus can move with its substrate-loaded 4'-phosphopantetheine arm between the active site of the adenylation domain and the donor side of the condensation domain. The SrfA-C crystal structure has implications for the rational redesign of NRPSs as a means of producing novel bioactive peptides.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Organization and overall structure of the synthetase SrfA-C, the termination module of the surfactin biosynthesis cluster from B. subtilis ATCC 21332. (A) The surfactin biosynthetic operon [including srfA-A, 10,767 base pairs (bp); srfA-B, 10,764 bp; srfA-C, 3825 bp] encoding the nonribosomal peptide synthetases SrfA-A, B, and C and associated genes (srfA-D and sfp). The chemical structure of the lipoheptapeptide product surfactin is shown on the right. The yellow box indicates the ring closure site between Leu^7 and the β-hydroxyl group of the fatty acid catalyzed by SrfA-C. (B) Schematic illustration of the terminal synthetase SrfA-C comprising the condensation domain (C, gray), adenylation domain (A, red and orange), peptidyl carrier protein domain (PCP, green), and thioesterase domain (TE, brown). Linkers are blue; the C-terminal tag helix is yellow. (C) Overall structure of SrfA-C at 2.6 Å resolution. The C domain's catalytically active residue His^147 and a leucine residue bound in the A domain's active site are shown in space-filling representation. Coloring of the domains is according to (B). See fig. S6 for stereoviews of the total SrfA-C structure. All figures were made with PYMOL 1.0 (20).
Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Distances between the catalytic center of the PCP domain at Ala^1003 and those of the C domain (His^147), the A domain (Leu residue in the active site), and the TE domain (Ser^1120), respectively. The dashed yellow circle has a radius of 20 Å, corresponding to the distance that a 4'-phosphopantetheine cofactor can span. Because of perspective, the interdomain distances appear shorter than they are.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
