Abstract

DltA is a member of the adenylate forming family of enzymes which all show an ATP dependent activation of their substrates. This family of enzymes includes firefly luciferase, 4-coumarate-CoA ligases, oxidoreductases and the adenylation domains of nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). The NRPSs are large multimodular enzymes involved in biosynthesis of a large number of natural products with broad pharmacological relevance, such as antibiotics and immunosuppressive agents. Their substrates not only include proteinogenic aminoacids but also non-proteinogenic substrates such as D-amino acids, carboxy acids, glycosylated and N-methylated residues.
