CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BACTERIOCIN AS-48. N-DECYL-BETA-D-MALTOSIDE BOUND.

Overview

The bacteriocin AS-48 is a membrane-interacting peptide, which displays a, broad anti-microbial spectrum against Gram-positive and Gram-negative, bacteria. The NMR structure of AS-48 at pH 3 has been solved. The analysis, of this structure suggests that the mechanism of AS-48 anti-bacterial, activity involves the accumulation of positively charged molecules at the, membrane surface leading to a disruption of the membrane potential. Here, we report the high-resolution crystal structure of AS-48 and sedimentation, equilibrium experiments showing that this bacteriocin is able to adopt, different oligomeric structures according to the physicochemical, environment. The analysis of these structures suggests a mechanism for, molecular function of AS-48 involving a transition from a ... [(full description)]
