Engineering increased stability in the antimicrobial peptide pediocin PA-1.
Pediocin PA-1 is a food grade antimicrobial peptide that has been used as a food preservative. Upon storage at 4 degrees C or room temperature, pediocin PA-1 looses activity, and there is a concomitant 16-Da increase in the molecular mass. It is shown that the loss of activity follows first-order kinetics and that the instability can be prevented by replacing the single methionine residue (Met3...
متن کاملEnhanced production of pediocin PA-1 and coproduction of nisin and pediocin PA-1 by Lactococcus lactis.
The production and secretion of class II bacteriocins share a number of features that allow the interchange of genetic determinants between certain members of this group of antimicrobial peptides. Lactococcus lactis IL1403 encodes translocatory functions able to recognize and mediate secretion of lactococcin A. The ability of this strain to also produce the pediococcal bacteriocin pediocin PA-1...
متن کاملImproved antimicrobial activities of synthetic-hybrid bacteriocins designed from enterocin E50-52 and pediocin PA-1.
Two hybrid bacteriocins, enterocin E50-52/pediocin PA-1 (EP) and pediocin PA-1/enterocin E50-52 (PE), were designed by combining the N terminus of enterocin E50-52 and the C terminus of pediocin PA-1 and by combining the C terminus of pediocin PA-1 and the N terminus of enterocin E50-52, respectively. Both hybrid bacteriocins showed reduced MICs compared to those of their natural counterparts. ...
متن کاملMutational analysis of residues in the helical region of the class IIa bacteriocin pediocin PA-1.
A 15-mer fragment that is derived from the helical region in the C-terminal half of pediocin PA-1 inhibited the activity of pediocin PA-1. Of 13 other pediocin-like (hybrid) bacteriocins, only the hybrid bacteriocin Sak/Ped was markedly inhibited by the 15-mer fragment. Sak/Ped was the only one of these bacteriocins that had a sequence (in the C-terminal helix-containing half) identical to that...
متن کاملProduction of pediocin PA-1 by Lactococcus lactis using the lactococcin A secretory apparatus.
The class II bacteriocins pediocin PA-1, from Pediococcus acidilactici, and lactococcin A, from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis WM4 have a number of features in common. They are produced as precursor peptides containing similar amino-terminal leader sequences with a conserved processing site (Gly-Gly at positions -1 and -2). Translocation of both bacteriocins occurs via a ded...
