Nisin induction without nisin secretion

Microbiology, 2006
Nisin Z, a post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptide ofLactococcus lactis, is positively autoregulated by extracellular nisin via the two-component regulatory proteins NisRK. A mutation in the nisin NisT transporter renderedL. lactisincapable of nisin secretion, and nisin accumulated inside the cells.

Nisin

2020
Nisin is a 34-amino acid peptide known as a bacteriocin. It belongs to class-Ia bacteriocins known as lantibiotics. It is the most characterized and commercially used antimicrobial peptide. It was commercialized in the 1950s for the prevention of late blowing in cheese by Clostridium.

Applications of the bacteriocin, nisin

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1996
Nisin was first introduced commercially as a food preservative in the UK approximately 30 years ago. First established use was as a preservative in processed cheese products and since then numerous other applications in foods and beverages have been identified. It is currently recognised as a safe food preservative in approximately 50 countries.

Analysis of nisin A, nisin Z and their degradation products by LCMS/MS

Food Chemistry, 2011
The peptides nisin A and nisin Z belong to type-A lantibiotics applied as preservatives in cheese production. The present study optimised and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) method for the analysis of nisin A in cheese.

Identification and characterization of the lantibiotic nisin Z, a natural nisin variant

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1991
Lactococcus lactis strain NIZO 22186 produces an extracellular, lanthinine‐containing 3.5‐kDa polypeptide with antimicrobial activity. Its retention time on reversed‐phase (RP) HPLC and its amino acid composition showed high similarities but no complete identity to nisin.

The effect of nisin concentration and nutrient depletion on nisin production of Lactococcuslactis

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1997
The kinetics of nisin production was studied in batch cultures using a construct of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis C2SmPrt-, containing a transposon (TnNip) that encodes nisin production. The introduction of TnNip into C2SmPrt- significantly lowered the specific growth rate and the maximum A620 reached was reduced from 15.2 to 11.0.

The effect of nisin on murein synthesis

Archives of Microbiology, 1980
Nisin inhibits murein synthesis with concomitant accumulation of undecaprenyl-pyrophospho-MurHAc(pentapeptide) (lipid intermediate I). This inhibition is caused by the formation of a complex between the antibiotic and lipid intermediate I. Undecaprenyl-pyrophospho-MurNAc(pentapeptide)-GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II) also forms a complex with nisin ...
