De novo synthesis of a sunscreen compound in vertebrates

Creator:

Osborn, Andrew R., Almabruk, Khaled H., Holzwarth, Garrett, Asamizu, Shumpei, LaDu, Jane, Kean, Kelsey M., Karplus, P. Andrew, Tanguay, Robert L., Bakalinsky, Alan T., and Mahmud, Taifo

Abstract:

Ultraviolet-protective compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and related gadusols produced by some bacteria, fungi, algae, and marine invertebrates, are critical for the survival of reef-building corals and other marine organisms exposed to high-solar irradiance. These compounds have also been found in marine fish, where their accumulation is thought...

Mechanistic Insights into Validoxylamine A 7’-Phosphate Synthesis by VldE Using the Structure of the Entire Product Complex

Creator:

Cavalier, Michael C., Yim, Young-Sun, Asamizu, Shumpei, Neau, David, Almabruk, Khaled H., Mahmud, Taifo, and Lee, Yong-Hwan

Abstract:

The pseudo-glycosyltransferase VldE catalyzes non-glycosidic C-N coupling between an unsaturated cyclitol and a saturated aminocyclitol with the conservation of the stereochemical configuration of the substrates to form validoxylamine A 7'-phosphate, the biosynthetic precursor of the antibiotic validamycin A. To study the molecular basis of its mechanism, the three-dimensional structures of...
