Marine natural products.

TL;DR: This review covers the literature published in 2014 for marine natural products, with 1116 citations referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms.

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: Overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature

Paul G. Arnison, +65 more
TL;DR: This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methanotrophs and copper

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of the phylogeny, environmental distribution, and potential applications of methanotrophs for regional and global issues are summarized, as well as the role of Cu in regulating gene expression and proteome in these cells, its effects on enzymatic and whole-cell activity, and the novel Cu uptake system used by methanOTrophs are summarized.

Cell Density Control of Staphylococcal Virulence Mediated by an Octapeptide Pheromone

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that the synthesis of Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors is controlled by a density-sensing system that utilizes an octapeptide produced by the organism itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Follow the leader: The use of leader peptides to guide natural product biosynthesis

TL;DR: This work reviews the available information for how the peptide sequences in the precursors govern the post-translational tailoring processes for several classes of natural products and highlights the great potential these leader peptide-directed biosynthetic systems offer for engineering conformationally restrained and pharmacophore-rich products with structural diversity that greatly expands the proteinogenic repertoire.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriocins: developing innate immunity for food

TL;DR: Bacteriocins are bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides with narrow or broad host ranges that can be used to confer a rudimentary form of innate immunity to foodstuffs, helping processors extend their control over the food flora long after manufacture.
Journal ArticleDOI

The function of terpene natural products in the natural world.

TL;DR: It is striking how phylogenetically distant organisms have come to use similar structures for common purposes in terpenes, and new natural roles undoubtedly remain to be discovered for this large class of compounds.

Assembly-line enzymology for polyketide and nonribosomal Peptide antibiotics: logic, machinery, and mechanisms.

TL;DR: Christopher T. Walsh is the Hamilton Kuhn Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP) at Harvard Medical School and has had extensive experience in academic administration, including Chairmanship of the MIT Chemistry Department and the HMS Biological Chemistry & molecular Pharmacology Department.
