RiPP-ing through the plant kingdom
An autocatalytic peptide cyclase defines a new subclass of plant ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). This discovery explains the origins of a large family of cyclic peptides and inspires new tools for mining these RiPPs across the plant kingdom.
