This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products. The current knowledge regarding the biosynthesis of the >20 distinct compound classes is also reviewed, and commonalities are discussed. 

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: new insights into the role of leader and core peptides during biosynthesis.

It is proposed that the leader peptides function as allosteric regulators that bind the active form of the biosynthetic enzymes in a conformational selection process, and how enzymes that generate polycyclic products of defined topologies may have been selected for during evolution.

Expanding the Structural Space of Ribosomal Peptides: Autocatalytic N-Methylation in Omphalotin Biosynthesis.

Tail-Me: The N-methylation of backbone amide bonds in peptide natural products was thought to be exclusive to non-ribosomal peptides, but a newly discovered methylation mechanism now brings this structural feature into the world of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs).

Unveiling the Biosynthetic Pathway of the Ribosomally Synthesized and Post-translationally Modified Peptide Ustiloxin B in Filamentous Fungi.

The biosynthetic machinery of the first fungal ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) ustiloxin B was elucidated through a series of gene inactivation and heterologous expression studies, providing new insight into the expression of the RiPP gene clusters found in various fungi.

Mechanisms of action of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs)
