    • Structure

    • Alpha helix

    • Structure Description

    • In DPC, LcnG-alpha has an N-terminal alpha-helix (residues 3-21) that contains a GxxxG helix-helix interaction motif (residues 7-11) and a less well defined C-terminal alpha-helix (residues 24-34), and in between (residues 18-22) there is a second somewhat flexible GxxxG-motif. Its structure in TFE was similar.

Comments Information

    • MOA

    • The N-terminal halves of both the alpha and beta peptides may form amphiphilic alpha-helices, suggesting that the peptides are pore-forming toxins that create cell membrane channels through a "barrel-stave" mechanism. Bacteriocin activity requires interaction of alpha and beta peptides in a molar ratio of 7
