AbstractMicroviridins are a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that have been isolated from a wide variety of cyanobacterial strains. There are similar gene clusters of RiPPs distributed in the genomes of bacteria belonging to the phylaProteobacteriaandBacteroidetes. A cryptic gene cluster for the production of microviridin-type peptide was found in the genome of the marine γ-Proteobacterium Grimontia marina.Heterologous production of new microviridin-type peptide named grimoviridin was accomplished inEscherichia coliusing the biosynthetic gene cluster ofG. marina.The structure of grimoviridin was determined by analysis of MS and NMR data. Grimoviridin contained one isopeptide and two ester bonds, which had exactly the same bridging pattern as other microviridin-type peptides. The absolute stereochemistries of constituent amino acids were determined to be all L-forms by modified Marfey’s method. Grimoviridin showed potent inhibitory activity against trypsin with an IC50value of 238 nM. This is the first report of heterologous production of microviridin-type peptide using a biosynthetic gene cluster from aProteobacterium.Key points• Heterologous production afforded new microviridin-type peptide named grimoviridin.• This is the first report of microviridin-type peptide from proteobacterial origin.• Grimoviridin showed potent inhibitory activity against trypsin.
