Structure of Microcin B-Like Compounds Produced by Pseudomonas syringae and Species Specificity of Their Antibacterial Action

12 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli microcin B (Ec-McB) is a posttranslationally modified antibacterial peptide containing multiple oxazole and thiazole heterocycles and targeting the DNA gyrase. We have found operons homologous to the Ec-McB biosynthesis-immunity operon mcb in recently sequenced genomes of several pathovars of the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, and we produced two variants of P. syringae microcin B (Ps-McB)...
