Nisin E, a New Nisin Variant Produced by Streptococcus equinus MDC1

چکیده
Members of the genus Streptococcus inhabit a variety sites in humans and other animals some species are prolific producers proteinaceous antibiotics (bacteriocins). As little is known about (i) streptococci inhabiting domestic pets, (ii) whether novel bacteriocin-producing can be isolated from aim this study to address these gaps research literature. In study, equinus MDC1, healthy dog, was found exhibit potent antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus simultaneous antagonism assay, suggesting that strain MDC1 produces lantibiotic bacteriocin. The inhibitory spectrum S. determined using agar-based deferred assays >70 indicator strains, similar nisin U (a produced by uberis). However, spectra two bacteriocins differed 23 mainly with bacteriocin having no towards certain human origin (e.g., gordonii, anginosus, salivarius). genome which sequenced completely single-molecule real-time (SMRT) next-generation DNA sequencing technology, comprises single 1,936,555-basepair chromosome containing seven copies ribosomal RNA operon, 69 tRNA genes nearly 1900 putative coding sequences. Analysis sequence detection algorithms BAGEL4 antiSMASH revealed location 13,164-basepair 11-gene locus, designated nmd, encoded mature E peptide only amino acids (Ile15?Ala Leu21?Ile) an extra C-terminal asparagine residue, proteins required for post-translational modification bacteriocin, processing, export, producer immunity. Despite high homology (90.6% identity, 93.8% similarity) between U, there considerably less (47.4–76.3% 68.4–88.8% their respective biosynthetic loci. This new natural variant nisin, called E, represents first reported equinus; additionally, its differences may provide insight into influence potency killing spectrum.

Molecular and genetic characterization of a novel nisin variant produced by Streptococcus uberis.
Streptococcus uberis is one of the principal causative agents of bovine mastitis. In this study, we report that S. uberis strain 42 produces a lantibiotic, nisin U, which is 78% identical (82% similar) to nisin A from Lactococcus lactis. The 15.6-kb nisin U locus comprises 11 open reading frames, similar in putative functionality but differing in arrangement from that of the nisin A biosyntheti...
متن کاملIdentification of the lantibiotic nisin Q, a new natural nisin variant produced by Lactococcus lactis 61-14 isolated from a river in Japan.
Lactococcus lactis 61-14 isolated from river water produced a bacteriocin active against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria. N-terminal amino acid sequencing, mass spectral analysis of the purified bacteriocin, and genetic analysis using nisin-specific primers showed that the bacteriocin was a new natural nisin variant, termed nisin Q. Nisin Q and nisin A differ in four amino acids in the m...
متن کاملNisin resistance of Streptococcus bovis.
The growth of Streptococcus bovis JB1 was initially inhibited by nisin (1 microM), and nisin caused a more than 3-log decrease in viability. However, some of the cells survived, and these nisin-resistant cells grew as rapidly as untreated ones. To see if the nisin resistance was merely a selection, nisin-sensitive cells were obtained from agar plates lacking nisin. Results indicated that virtua...

Novel mechanism for nisin resistance via proteolytic degradation of nisin by the nisin resistance protein NSR.
Nisin is a 34-residue antibacterial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis that is active against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria. In non-nisin-producing L. lactis, nisin resistance could be conferred by a specific nisin resistance gene (nsr), which encodes a 35-kDa nisin resistance protein (NSR). However, the mechanism underlying NSR-mediated nisin resistance is poorly understood. Here ...
