Abstract

Class II lanthipeptide synthetases (LanMs) are relatively promiscuous to core peptide variations. Previous studies have shown that different LanMs catalyze identical reactions on the same core sequence fused to their respective cognate leaders. We characterized a new LanM enzyme from Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-88, MalM, and demonstrated that MalM and ProcM exhibited disparate dehydration and cyclization patterns on identical core peptides. Our study provided new insights into the regioselectivity of LanMs and showcased an appropriate strategy for lanthipeptide structural diversity engineering.
