Structure Prediction and Genome Mining‐Aided Discovery of the Bacterial C‐Terminal Tryptophan Prenyltransferase PalQ

Abstract: Post‐translational prenylations, found in eukaryotic primary metabolites and bacterial secondary metabolites, play crucial roles in biomolecular interactions. Employing genome mining methods combined with AlphaFold2‐based predictions of protein interactions, PalQ, a prenyltransferase responsible for the tryptophan prenylation of RiPPs produced by Paenibacillus alvei, is identified. PalQ differs from cyanobactin prenyltransferases because of its evolutionary relationship to isoprene synthases, which enables PalQ to transfer extended prenyl chains to the indole C3 position. This prenylation introduces structural diversity to the tryptophan side chain and also leads to conformational dynamics in the peptide backbone, attributed to the cis/trans isomerization that arises from the formation of a pyrrolidine ring. Additionally, PalQ exhibited pronounced positional selectivity for the C‐terminal tryptophan. Such enzymatic characteristics offer a toolkit for peptide therapeutic lipidation.
