They often consist of multiple polypeptide chains which assemble in a specific linear order via specialized N- and C-terminal docking domains ((N/C) DDs). Typically, docking domains function independently from other domains in NRPS assembly. Thus, docking domain replacements enable the assembly of "designer" NRPS from proteins that normally do not interact. The multiprotein "peptide-antimicrobial-Xenorhabdus" (PAX) peptide-producing PaxS NRPS is assembled from the three proteins PaxA, PaxB and PaxC. Herein, we show that the small (C) DD of PaxA cooperates with its preceding thiolation (T1 ) domain to bind the (N) DD of PaxB with very high affinity, establishing a structural and thermodynamical basis for this unprecedented docking interaction, and we test its functional importance in vivo in a truncated PaxS assembly line. Similar docking interactions are apparently present in other NRPS systems.
