Tailoring enzymes

Friederike Biermann edited this page Jun 20, 2024 · 5 revisions

In modular systems, tailoring enzymes perform reactions after the inline modifications after the growing NRP/PK chain is released from the assembly line (so also after cyclization by a TE/TD domain). In RiPPs, they are performed before cyclization and also before the proteolytic cleavage, a way around this is to use the PROTEASE or MACROLACTAMFORMATION tailoring enzymes instead of the proteolytic cleavage or cyclization steps. In terpenes, they are performed after the macrocyclization.
