Thioamide localization by HR-ESI-MS/MS in the M. acetivorans YcaO-TfuA reaction. (A) HR-ESI MS/MS analysis of the thioamidated product from the M. acetivorans YcaO/TfuA reaction with McrA 11-mer (GG-460RLGFFGFDLQD470, m/z 1444 Da). The b7 and b8 ions localize the thioamide modification to Gly465 (yellow circle). (B) HR-ESI MS of the thioamidated product. The error reported is calculated from the thioamide-containing product with the following molecular formula for the doubly-protonated ion: C66H95N17O18S. Adapted from Mahanta et al., 2018.
