Reaction catalysed
  • L-amino acyl-L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = (S,S)-2-(C-substituted-aminomethyl)-4-acyl-2-oxazoline-[protein] + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
  • L-amino acyl-L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = (S,S)-2-(C-substituted-aminomethyl)-4-acyl-5-methyl-2-oxazoline-[protein] + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
  • L-amino acyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein] + ATP = (1S,4R)-2-(C-substituted-aminomethyl)-4-acyl-2-thiazoline-[protein] + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Requires Mg(2+).
  • The enzyme, which participates in the biosynthesis of ribosomal peptide natural products (RiPPs), converts L-cysteine, L-serine and L-threonine residues to thiazoline, oxazoline, and methyloxazoline rings, respectively.
  • 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 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.
