In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Duquesne and colleagues [1] describe the biosynthetic machinery of microcin J25, an antibacterial peptide that adopts an exceptional three-dimensional structure resembling a knot. The dedicated enzymes, McjB and McjC, were identified and employed to produce this modification in vitro.
在本期《化学生物学》中，杜肯及其同事 [1] 描述了微小菌素J25的生物合成机制，微小菌素J25是一种抗菌肽，具有异常的三维结构，类似一个结。他们鉴定出了专门的酶McjB和McjC，并利用它们在体外进行这种修饰。
