Mutational analysis of residues in the helical region of the class IIa bacteriocin pediocin PA-1.
A 15-mer fragment that is derived from the helical region in the C-terminal half of pediocin PA-1 inhibited the activity of pediocin PA-1. Of 13 other pediocin-like (hybrid) bacteriocins, only the hybrid bacteriocin Sak/Ped was markedly inhibited by the 15-mer fragment. Sak/Ped was the only one of these bacteriocins that had a sequence (in the C-terminal helix-containing half) identical to that...
متن کاملDevelopment of innovative pediocin PA-1 by DNA shuffling among class IIa bacteriocins.
Pediocin PA-1 is a member of the class IIa bacteriocins, which show antimicrobial effects against lactic acid bacteria. To develop an improved version of pediocin PA-1, reciprocal chimeras between pediocin PA-1 and enterocin A, another class IIa bacteriocin, were constructed. Chimera EP, which consisted of the C-terminal half of pediocin PA-1 fused to the N-terminal half of enterocin A, showed ...
متن کاملExpression of the immunity protein of plantaricin 423, produced by Lactobacillus plantarum 423, and analysis of the plasmid encoding the bacteriocin.
Plantaricin 423 is a class IIa bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from sorghum beer. It has been previously determined that plantaricin 423 is encoded by a plasmid designated pPLA4, which is now completely sequenced. The plantaricin 423 operon shares high sequence similarity with the operons of coagulin, pediocin PA-1, and pediocin AcH, with small differences in the DNA se...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of pediocin PA-1 binding to liposomes in the absence of a protein receptor and its relationship to a predicted tertiary structure.
The physicochemical interaction of pediocin PA-1 with target membranes was characterized using lipid vesicles made from the total lipids extracted from Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin PA-1 caused the time- and concentration-dependent release of entrapped carboxyfluorescein (CF) from the vesicles. The pediocin-induced CF efflux rates were higher under acidic conditions than under neutral and al...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the class IIa bacteriocin curvacin A and its orientation in target cell membranes.
To analyze the orientation in target cell membranes of the pediocin-like bacteriocin (antimicrobial peptide) curvacin A, 55 variants were generated by site-directed mutagenesis and their potencies against four different target cells determined. The result suggest that the somewhat hydrophilic short central helix (residues 19 to 24), along with the N-terminal beta-sheet-like structure (residues ...
