Characterization of a dual function macrocyclase enables design and use of efficient macrocyclization substrates
Cyclic peptide macrocycles are promising anti-cancer and antimicrobial molecules. Here, the authors characterize the structure and catalytic mechanism of the prolyl oligopeptidase B from Basidiomycete fungi, showing that its dual macrocyclase-peptidase activity is crucial for amatoxin macrocyclizati...
