Abstract

ABSTRACT Microcin C (McC), an inhibitor of the growth of enteric bacteria, consists of a heptapeptide with a modified AMP residue attached to the backbone of the C-terminal aspartate through an N -acyl phosphamidate bond. Here we identify maturation intermediates produced by cells lacking individual mcc McC biosynthesis genes. We show that the products of the mccD and mccE genes are required for attachment of a 3-aminopropyl group to the phosphate of McC and that this group increases the potency of inhibition of the McC target, aspartyl-tRNA synthetase.
