Analysis of the promoters involved in enterocin AS-48 expression. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 The enterocin AS-48 is the best characterized antibacterial circular protein in prokaryotes. It is a hydrophobic and cationic bacteriocin, which is ribosomally synthesized by enterococcal cells and post-translationally cyclized by a head-to-tail peptide ...

Enterocin AS-48 as Evidence for the Use of Bacteriocins as New Leishmanicidal Agents. [PDF]
Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 2017 We report the feasibility of enterocin AS-48, a circular cationic peptide produced by Enterococcus faecalis, as a new leishmanicidal agent. AS-48 is lethal to Leishmania promastigotes as well as to axenic and intracellular amastigotes at low micromolar ...

Enterocin Cross-Resistance Mediated by ABC Transport Systems [PDF]
, 2021 In their struggle for life, bacteria frequently produce antagonistic substances against competitors. Antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria (known as bacteriocins) are active against other bacteria, but harmless to their producer due to an ...

Absolute Configuration of the Polyketide Natural Product (−)-Enterocin
, 2022 The absolute configuration of the polyketide natural product (−)-enterocin was established by two independent approaches. In the first approach, synthetic enterocin with a defined configuration was compared to the natural product.
