Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are astexin-1, astexin-2 and astexin-3 lasso peptides, which are based on sequences identified in Asticaccaulis excentricus , and methods of making and using same. Astexin-1 is highly polar, in contrast to many lasso peptides that are primarily hydrophobic, and has modest antimicrobial activity against Caulobacter crescentus , a bacterium related to Asticaccaulis excentricus . The solution structure of astexin-1 was determined, revealing a unique topology that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between segments of the peptide. Astexins-2 and -3 are intracellular lasso peptides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A substantially purified Astexin-1 peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence GLSQGVEPEIGQTYFEESRINQD (SEQ ID NO:48), wherein in SEQ ID NO:48 the glycine residue (G) at position 1 is covalently bound to the glutamic acid residue (E) at position 9, thereby generating a lassoed peptide. 2. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the C-terminal amino acid of the peptide comprises a protecting group. 3. A non-naturally occurring polynucleotide sequence encoding the peptide of claim 1 .
