ENZYME entry: EC 6.2.2.3

Accepted Name
thiazoline synthase
Reaction catalysed
ATP + L-amino acyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein] <=> (1S,4R)-2-(C-substituted-aminomethyl)-4-acyl-2-thiazoline-[protein] + ADP + H(+) + phosphate
Comment(s)
  • Requires Mg(2+).
  • The enzyme, which participates in the biosynthesis of some ribosomal peptide natural products (RiPPs) such as the trunkamides, converts L-cysteine residues to thiazoline rings.
  • The enzyme requires two domains - a cyclodehydratase domain, known as a YcaO domain, and a substrate recognition domain (RRE domain) that controls the regiospecificity of the enzyme.
  • The RRE domain can either be fused to the YcaO domain or occur as a separate protein; however both domains are required for activity.
  • The enzyme can process multiple L-cysteine residues within the same substrate peptide, and all enzymes characterized so far follow a defined order, starting with the L-cysteine closest to the C-terminus.
  • The reaction involves phosphorylation of the preceding ribosomal peptide backbone amide bond, forming ADP and a phosphorylated intermediate, followed by release of the phosphate group.
  • In some cases the enzyme catalyzes a side reaction in which the phosphorylated intermediate reacts with ADP to form AMP and diphosphate.
  • This activity is also catalyzed by the related enzyme EC 6.2.2.2.
  • That enzyme differs by having an RRE domain that also recognizes L-serine and L-threonine residues, which are converted to oxazoline and methyloxazoline rings, respectively.
