Abstract: ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) synthetase (Pls) is a membrane protein that possesses both adenylation and thiolation domains, characteristic of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). Pls catalyzes the polymerization of l-Lys molecules in a highly specific manner within proteinogenic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c03660
Abstract: Piperazic acid (Piz) is a nonproteinogenic amino acid possessing a rare nitrogen-nitrogen bond. However, little is known about how Piz is incorporated into nonribosomal peptides, including whether adenylation domains specific to Piz exist. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2017.00279
Abstract: We present here the hypothesis that alternative poly-adenylation (APA) is dysregulated in the brains of individuals affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), due to disruptions in the calcium signaling networks. APA, the process of selecting… read more here.
