Colibactin assembly line enzymes use S-adenosylmethionine to build a cyclopropane ring

Despite containing an α-amino acid, the versatile cofactor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is not a known building block for non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) assembly lines. Here we report an unusual NRPS module from colibactin biosynthesis that uses SAM for amide bond formation and subsequent cyc...
