Abstract
The engineering of non ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) for new substrate specificity is a potent strategy to incorporate non-canonical amino acids into peptide sequences, thereby creating peptide diversity and broadening applications. The non-ribosomal peptide pyoverdine is the primary siderophore produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and holds biomedical promise in diagnosis, bio-imaging and antibiotic vectorization. We engineered the adenylation domain of PvdD, the terminal NRPS in pyoverdine biosynthesis, to accept a functionalized amino acid. Guided by molecular modeling, we rationally designed mutants of P. aeruginosa with mutations at two positions in the active site. A single amino acid change results in the successful incorporation of an azido-L-homoalanine leading to the synthesis of a new pyoverdine analog, functionalized with an azide function. We further demonstrated that copper free click chemistry is efficient on the functionalized pyoverdine and that the conjugated siderophore retains the iron chelation properties and its capacity to be recognized and transported by P. aeruginosa. The production of clickable pyoverdine holds substantial biotechnological significance, paving the way for numerous downstream applications.
期刊介绍:
Microbial Cell Factories is an open access peer-reviewed journal that covers any topic related to the development, use and investigation of microbial cells as producers of recombinant proteins and natural products, or as catalyzers of biological transformations of industrial interest. Microbial Cell Factories is the world leading, primary research journal fully focusing on Applied Microbiology.
The journal is divided into the following editorial sections:
-Metabolic engineering
-Synthetic biology
-Whole-cell biocatalysis
-Microbial regulations
-Recombinant protein production/bioprocessing
