摘要
Abstract Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are structurally complex naturally occurring metabolites across all three domains of life. Despite the structural diversity of RiPPs that stems from the extensive post-translational modifications, only α-amino acid residues have been found in known RiPPs. Here we report discovery of a new 27-mer peptide, kintamdin, using comprehensive MS and NMR structural elucidation and genomic analysis together with computational modelling. The peptide features a β-amino acid residue and a new thioether macrocyclic ring. Heterologous expression and gene inactivation allowed the identification of the minimal biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). The gene products in kin BGC share low homologues compared to other known RiPP pathways, further rendering the novelty of kintamdin. Biochemical analysis indicated that KinO mediate di-methylation reaction to yield kintamidn. Finally, the occurrence of the kin-like BGCs in Gram-positive bacteria suggested the biological importance of this new group of RiPPs.
