Mapping the sequence preference of the generalist class II lanthipeptide synthetase ProcM by mRNA display
The biosynthetic machineries of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are often substrate tolerant. A remarkable example is the class II lanthipeptide synthetase ProcM, which naturally functions as a generalist enzyme that has not evolved to use a specific substrate during its evolutionary history. Although ProcM has been studied extensively, the sequence…
