ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EPILANCIN 15X, A NOVEL ANTIBIOTIC FROM A CLINICAL STRAIN OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS
Overview
The potential application of lantibiotics as food-preserving agents and, more recently as antibiotics has strongly increased the interest in these, antibacterial peptides. Here, we report the elucidation of the primary and, three-dimensional structures of the novel lantibiotic epilancin 15X from, Staphylococcus epidermidis using high-resolution nuclear magnetic, resonance spectroscopy and tandem mass spectrometry. The molecule contains, ten post-translationally modified amino acids, three lanthionine ring, structures and a hydroxy-propionyl N-terminal moiety. The primary and, tertiary structure and the distribution of positive charges are closely, similar to the previously identified lantibiotic epilancin K7, most likely, indicative of a common mode of action.
