Abstract
The increasing resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics makes it a necessity that we search for new antimicrobial agents. Due to their genetically encoded nature, peptides are promising candidates for new antimicrobial drugs. Lantipeptide andalusicin exhibits significant antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, making it a promising scaffold for the development of DNA-encoded libraries of lantibiotics. In this study, the modification reaction of andalusicin by class III lanthionine synthetase AncKC was reconstructed in a heterologous Escherichia coli system. The results obtained open possibilities for creating novel peptide- based antimicrobial agents.
期刊介绍:
Acta Naturae is an international journal on life sciences based in Moscow, Russia.
Our goal is to present scientific work and discovery in molecular biology, biochemistry, biomedical disciplines and biotechnology. These fields represent the most important priorities for the research and engineering development both in Russia and worldwide. Acta Naturae is also a periodical for those who are curious in various aspects of biotechnological business, innovations in pharmaceutical areas, intellectual property protection and social consequences of scientific progress. The journal publishes analytical industrial surveys focused on the development of different spheres of modern life science and technology.
Being a radically new and totally unique journal in Russia, Acta Naturae is useful to both representatives of fundamental research and experts in applied sciences.
