Sulfur to alpha carbon thioether-containing peptides (sactipeptides) are ribosomally synthesized post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) with bacteriocidal activities. The thioether crosslink, which is required for biological activity, is installed by a member of the radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) superfamily in the peptide substrate. Herein we show that the radical SAM enzyme, SkfB, utilizes the 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical generated from the reductive cleavage of SAM to abstract a hydrogen atom from the α-carbon of the amino acid at position 12 in the substrate, SkfA, to initiate the installation of a thioether crosslink. The insights from this work are applicable to all radical SAM sactipeptide maturases.
