Graphical Abstract
  • multidrug resistance [59]. The patellamide gene cluster consists of seven genes, expression of which in E. coli leads to the production of the peptides [59]. Heterocyclization of serine, cysteine and threonine, respectively is catalyzed by the heterocyclase PatD [60]. In contrast to other heterocyclases
  • Microcystis and Planktothrix [64][65]. Post-translational modification of microviridins is achieved by the activity of two closely related ATP grasp ligases, MdnB and MdnC (MvdC and D in Planktothrix). The enzymes introduce two ω-ester linkages between threonine and aspartate and serine and glutamate (MdnC
  • of bacteria. The characteristic feature of the group is lanthionine bridges, which are formed by dehydration of serine or threonine followed by intramolecular addition of cysteine thiols to the resulting dehydro amino acids. Lantipeptides exhibit a variety of bioactivities, in particular

  • equiv) relative to the azide used. The reaction was typically complete within 0.5 h at 0 °C for OSu-activated esters or −10 °C for mixed anhydrides. For sterically hindered amino acid OSu esters, such as isoleucine, valine and threonine, however, the reaction was slower and required room temperature to
  • obtained. We also found that the hydroxy group of tyrosine and threonine did not need to be protected. No significant intermolecular esterification was observed under the present reaction conditions and the desired p-nitroanilides were obtained in excellent yields (Table 1, entries 2 and 3).

Graphical Abstract
  • bioavailability for tumour immunotherapy. Towards this end, TN and TF antigen conjugates O-glycosidically linked to Fmoc-β3-homo-threonine were prepared in good yield via Arndt–Eistert homologation of the corresponding glycosyl α-amino acid derivative. By incorporation of TN-Fmoc-β3hThr conjugate into the 20
