Cloning and analysis of the pepV dipeptidase gene of Lactococcus lactis MG1363.
The gene pepV, encoding a dipeptidase from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363, was identified in a genomic library in pUC19 in a peptidase-deficient Escherichia coli strain and subsequently sequenced. PepV of L. lactis is enzymatically active in E. coli and hydrolyzes a broad range of dipeptides but no tri-, tetra-, or larger oligopeptides. Northern (RNA) and primer extension analyses in...
متن کاملMaturation pathway of nisin and other lantibiotics: post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides exported by gram-positive bacteria.
Lantibiotics form a family of highly modified peptides which are secreted by several Gram-positive bacteria. They exhibit antimicrobial activity, mainly against other Gram-positive bacteria, by forming pores in the cellular membrane. These antimicrobial peptides are ribosomally synthesized and contain leader peptides which do not show the characteristics of signal sequences. Several amino acid ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Mutasynthesis of Lantibiotic Analogues Containing Nonproteinogenic Amino Acids
Lantibiotics are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide antibiotics containing the characteristic thioether cross-links lanthionine and methyllanthionine. To date, no analogues of lantibiotics that contain nonproteinogenic amino acids have been reported. In this study, in vitro-reconstituted lacticin 481 synthetase was used in conjunction with synthetic peptide substr...
متن کاملCloning, nucleotide sequence and expression in Streptomyces lividans and Escherichia coli of pabB from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis NCDO 496.
A gene (pabB) encoding the aminase activity of p-aminobenzoate (PABA) synthase in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was cloned in pIJ41 and expressed in Streptomyces lividans strains defective in PABA biosynthesis. Expression of the gene was associated with a 1.2 kb deletion between the aph promoter and the cloning site in pIJ41. Subcloning in pBR322 and expression in Escherichia coli AB3295 of ...
متن کاملLantibiotic structures as guidelines for the design of peptides that can be modified by lantibiotic enzymes.
Lantibiotics are (methyl)lanthionine-containing bacterial peptides. (Methyl)lanthionines are posttranslationally introduced into the prepropeptides by biosynthetic enzymes that dehydrate serines and threonines and couple these dehydrated residues to cysteine residues. Thirty seven lantibiotic primary structures have been proposed to date, but little is known about the substrate specificity of t...
