Description
Mode of action:
Lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotic (lantibiotic). The bactericidal activity of lantibiotics is based on depolarization of energized bacterial cytoplasmic membranes, initiated by the formation of aqueous transmembrane pores. Inhibits Bacillus cereus spore outgrowth, after the germination stage, approximately 1000-fold better than it inhibits exponential growth of the same cells.
Post-translational modification:
Maturation of lantibiotics involves the enzymic conversion of Thr and Ser into dehydrated AA and the formation of thioether bonds with cysteine. This is followed by membrane translocation and cleavage of the modified precursor, both of which are probably performed by sunT. Production of active sublancin 168 requires at least one thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase (bdbB or in its absence bdbC). NOTE=Ref.1. greater than that expected from the amino acid composition, making it likely that there is an unidentified posttranslational modification of the peptide.
