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.

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. plasmid DNA. The sequences reported are absolutely identical.

Structure:
Lanthionine Linkage Between 12 And 16 Methyl-Lanthionine Linkages Between 20 And 23, And 22 And 25, Respectively.
