Common NameSulfazecin
DescriptionSulfazecin is a monobactam antibiotic belonging to the chemical class of β-lactams. Its biosynthesis involves a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) known as SulM, which catalyzes the formation of the β-lactam ring by incorporating l-2,3-diaminopropionate (Dap). This process includes the N-sulfonation of Dap followed by an unusual cyclization reaction mediated by a thioesterase (TE) domain, leading to the generation of the fully elaborated monobactam structure (PMID:40313847 ). The thioesterase domain facilitates a unique reaction where the nitrogen of the C-terminal N-sulfo-Dap residue attacks its thioester tether, resulting in the release of the monobactam product (PMID:38908753 ). Structural studies have identified potential interactions within the active site that may inform the design of sulfazecin analogues (PMID:38908753 ). Additionally, the genetic pathways involved in sulfazecin and isosulfazecin biosynthesis suggest a broader role in the production of related compounds such as bulgecin A (PMID:28937735 ). Overall, sulfazecin exemplifies the intricate chemistry underlying monobactam antibiotic synthesis and its potential for further structural optimization (PMID:28107651 ).
