Cyclodipeptide synthases
Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) are a newly defined family of peptide-bond forming enzymes that are responsible for the ribosome-independent biosynthesis of various cyclodipeptides, which are the precursors of many natural products with important biological activities. As a substrate for this synthesis, CDPSs use two amino acids activated as aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs), therefore diverting them from the ribosomal machinery. The first member of this family was identified in 2002 during the characterization of the albonoursin biosynthetic pathway in Streptomyces noursei. CDPSs are present in bacteria, fungi, and animal cells.
