CommentMembers of this family take two aminoacylated tRNA molecules and produce a cyclic dipeptide with two peptide bonds. This enzyme therefore produces a type of nonribosomal peptide, but by a mechanism entirely different from the typical non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) that relies on adenylation to activate amino acids. Three characterized members of this family are the cyclodityrosine synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (an essential gene), a cyclo(L-Phe-L-Leu) synthase from Streptomyces noursei involved in natural product biosynthesis, and cyclodileucine synthase YvmC from Bacillus licheniformis. Many cyclodipeptide synthases are found next to a cytochrome P450 that further modifies the product.
