The P450 ApyO crosslinks a 10-residue C-terminal peptide, and substitutions in the YLY motif switch the linkage among C−C, N−C and C−O bonds.

This study identifies two HEXXH enzymes that catalyze oxidative backbone cleavage in RiPP biosynthesis by recognizing specific peptide motifs.

This study investigates the substrate specificity of the PEARL BhaBCAla, showing it can use non-cognate amino acids and tRNAs for peptide extension, with efficiency depending on both amino acid and tRNA features.
