Abstract excerpt
Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is a 21-residue plasmid-encoded ribosomally synthesized lariat-protoknot antibacterial peptide that targets bacterial RNA polymerase. MccJ25 consists of an 8-residue cycle followed by a 13-residue tail that loops back and threads through the cycle. We have performed systematic mutational scanning of MccJ25, constructing and analyzing more than 380 singly substituted derivatives of MccJ25....
