Function[NISC_LACLL] Could be implicated in the processing or the export process of the nisin lantibiotic. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedNisin is a posttranslationally modified antimicrobial peptide that is widely used as a food preservative. It contains five cyclic thioethers of varying sizes that are installed by a single enzyme, NisC. Reported here are the in vitro reconstitution of the cyclization process and the x-ray crystal structure of the NisC enzyme. The structure reveals similarities in fold and substrate activation with mammalian farnesyl transferases, suggesting that human homologs of NisC posttranslationally modify a cysteine of a protein substrate. Structure and mechanism of the lantibiotic cyclase involved in nisin biosynthesis.,Li B, Yu JP, Brunzelle JS, Moll GN, van der Donk WA, Nair SK Science. 2006 Mar 10;311(5766):1464-7.
