Major gene-regulatory mechanisms operating in ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) biosynthesis

What is it about?

The biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) is a highly complex process which involves the activity of several modification enzymes, transporters and immunity determinants. The ideal time point of the expression itself is crucial for the cell and has to be tightly regulated. This MicroReview presents and explains the most common regulatory mechanisms of RiPP biosynthesis and groups them according to their mode of action.
