Lasso peptides produced by bacteria have a very unique cyclic structure ("lasso" structure) and are resistant to protease. To date, a number of lasso peptides have been isolated from proteobacteria and actinobacteria. Many lasso peptides exhibit various biological activities, such as antibacterial activity, and are expected to have various applications. Based on study of genome mining, large numbers of biosynthetic gene cluster of lasso peptides are revealed to distribute over genomes of proteobacteria and actinobacteria. However, the biosynthetic gene clusters are cryptic in most cases. Therefore, the combination of genome mining and heterologous production is efficient method for the production of lasso peptides. To utilize lasso peptide as fine chemical, there have been several attempts to add new function to lasso peptide by genetic engineering. Currently, a more efficient lasso peptide production system is being developed to harness cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters of lasso peptide. In this review, the overview of lasso peptide study is discussed.
