Abstract
Lasso peptides exhibit a range of bioactivities, including antiviral effects, inhibition of the glucagon receptor, blockade of the endothelin type B receptor, inhibition of myosin light chain kinase, and modulation of the atrial natriuretic factor, as well as notable antimicrobial properties. Intriguingly, lasso peptides exhibit remarkable proteolytic and thermal stability, addressing one of the key challenges that traditional peptides often face. The challenge in producing those valuable peptides remains the main hurdle in the way of producing larger quantities or even modifying them with more potent analogues. Genome mining and heterologous expression approaches have greatly facilitated the production of lasso peptides, moving beyond mere isolation techniques. This advancement not only allows for larger quantities but also enables the creation of additional analogues with improved stability and potency.
