Non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) machineries produce many medically relevant peptides that cannot be easily accessed by chemical synthesis. Thus, understanding NRPS mechanism is of crucial importance to allow efficient redesign of these machineries to produce new compounds. During NRPS-mediated synthesis, substrates are covalently attached to peptidyl carrier proteins (PCPs), and studies of NRPSs are impeded by difficulties in producing PCPs loaded with substrates. Different approaches to load substrates onto PCP domains have been described, but all suffer from difficulties in either the complexity of chemical synthesis or low enzymatic efficiency. Here, we describe an enhanced chemoenzymatic loading method that combines 2 approaches into a single, highly efficient one-pot loading reaction. First, d-pantetheine and ATP are converted into dephospho-coenzyme A via the actions of 2 enzymes from coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis. Next, phosphoadenylates are dephosphorylated using alkaline phosphatase to allow linker attachment to PCP domain by Sfp mutant R4-4, which is inhibited by phosphoadenylates. This route does not depend on activity of the commonly problematic dephospho-CoA kinase and, therefore, offers an improved method for substrate loading onto PCP domains.

Abstract Tropoyl coenzyme A has been synthesized in good yields via the corresponding N-hydroxysuc-cinimide ester. The UV-spectrum of the purified thioester has an absorption maximum at 257 nm; at this wavelength, a molar extinction coefficient of 19.2 × 106 [cm2 mol-1] has been determined. Upon alkaline hydrolysis of the thioester bond a difference spectrum with Amax at 235 nm (Δe235= 4.8 × 106 [cm2 mol-1]) has been observed. Attempts to prepare 2-phenylmalonyl coenzyme A by the same technique gave negative results.
