Structures of lantibiotics studied by NMR
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1996During the last decade, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance has played an important role in the unravelling of the primary and tertiary structures of lantibiotics. A short overview of these studies, together with typical spatial structures obtained, is presented.

Lantibiotic Production by Pathogenic Microorganisms
Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2012Lantibiotics are ribosomally synthesised, post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides produced by Gram positive bacteria, many which have broad-ranging antimicrobial activities. Lantibiotics have long been the subject of investigation with a view to their application as food preservatives or chemotherapeutic agents for clinical and veterinary ...

Methodologies and Strategies for the Bioengineering of Lantibiotics
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2011Lantibiotics are ribosomally synthesized, post-translationally modified, peptide antibiotics containing unusual amino acids such as dehydrated amino acids and lanthionine. These unusual amino acids impose conformational constraints on the peptide and contribute to the biological activity and high physicochemical stability of lantibiotics.

Novel lantibiotics and their pre-peptides
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1996In recent years there has been a considerable increase in studies of bactericidal peptides produced by Gram-positive bacteria, with particular emphasis upon their potential application as food preservatives. A number of these peptides contain lanthionine and other post-translationally modified amino acid residues.

Post-translational modifications of lantibiotics
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1996Several newly reported post-translational modification reactions are involved in lantibiotic biosynthesis. A short overview of the present knowledge on the post-translational modifications and on the enzymes involved in lantibiotic biosynthesis is given. The oxidative decarboxylation of the epidermin precursor peptide EpiA is described in detail.

Lantibiotics synthesized by gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus, genera) are a special group of polycyclic polypeptides constituted of protein amino acids and unusual amino acids (i.e. lanthionine, beta-methyllantionine etc.) these last ones exhibiting interchain thioeter bridges and ring structures.

Biosynthesis of the Lantibiotic Pep5 and Mode of Action of Type A Lantibiotics
1992Lantibiotics are a group of bacteriocin-like peptides produced by Gram-positive bacteria which differ from all other bacteriocins by their content of didehydroamino acids (dehydroalanine and dehydrobutyrine) and thioether amino acids (lanthionine and 3-methyllanthionine).
