| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We recently discovered novel pseudotripeptides, ketomemicins, which possess a C-terminal pseudodipeptide connected with a carbonyl methylene instead of an amide bond. The carbonyl methylene structure is stable than amide bond and its biological significance has been shown in several natural and synthetic compounds. Despite the biological significances of these compounds, little is known about its biosynthetic machinery. We therefore examined it by in vitro studies with recombinant enzymes. Consequently, an aldolase, dehydratase, PLP-dependent glycine-C-acetyltransferase, and dehydrogenase were revealed to be involved in the formation of the pseudodipeptide with malonyl-CoA and phenylpyruvate as starter substrates.
