Abstract
Teredinibactins are ß-resorcyclic thiazoline dipeptides synthesized by Teredinibacter turnerae T7901, a bacterial symbiont of shipworms in the sea. Through feeding studies, we show that the thiazoline moiety is made from glutathione and its me-tabolites in a noncanonical peptide azoline pathway. Mimicking the biosynthetic reaction, we synthesized both natural and unnatural teredinibactins. The results expand the scope of biological and chemical approaches to aromatic azoline conjugates.
