Structural Insights into the Free-Standing Condensation Enzyme SgcC5 Catalyzing Ester-Bond Formation in the Biosynthesis of the Enediyne Antitumor Antibiotic C-1027.

ABSTRACT: C-1027 is a chromoprotein enediyne antitumor antibiotic, consisting of the CagA apoprotein and the C-1027 chromophore. The C-1027 chromophore features a nine-membered enediyne core appended with three peripheral moieties, including an ( S)-3-chloro-5-hydroxy-β-tyrosine. In a convergent biosynthesis of the C-1027 chromophore, the ( S)-3-chloro-5-hydroxy-β-tyrosine moiety is appended to the enediyne core by the free-standing condensation enzyme SgcC5. Unlike canonical condensation domains from the modular nonribosomal peptide synthetases that catalyze amide-bond formation, SgcC5 catalyzes ester-bond formation, as demonstrated in vitro, between SgcC2-tethered ( S)-3-chloro-5-hydroxy-β-tyrosine and ( R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol, a mimic of the enediyne core as an acceptor substrate.
