Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged polypeptides
that exist in humans, animals, and plants. Considering the increasing number of drug …

Covering: 1988 to 2012 This review presents recommended nomenclature for the
biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) …

This Review explores the class of plant-derived macrocyclic peptides called cyclotides. We
include an account of their discovery, characterization, and distribution in the plant kingdom …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), or host defence peptides, are short proteins in various life
forms. Here we discuss AMPs, which may become a promising substitute or adjuvant in …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a component of barrier defense system of plants.
They have been isolated from roots, seeds, flowers, stems, and leaves of a wide variety of …

The last years have seen a steady increase in our understanding of legumain biology that is
driven from two largely uncoupled research arenas, the mammalian and the plant legumain …

Cyclotides are diverse plant backbone cyclized peptides that have attracted interest as
pharmaceutical scaffolds, but fundamentals of their biosynthetic origin remain elusive …

The cyclotides constitute a recently discovered family of plant-derived peptides that have the
unusual features of a head-to-tail cyclized backbone and a cystine knot core. These features …

The avalanche of genomic information in the past decade has revealed that natural product
biosynthesis using the ribosomal machinery is much more widespread than originally …

Many bioactive plant cyclic peptides form side-chain-derived macrocycles. Lyciumins, cyclic
plant peptides with tryptophan macrocyclizations, are ribosomal peptides (RiPPs) originating …
