nukA

Gene
nukA
Protein
Lantibiotic nukacin
Organism
Staphylococcus hominis
Length
57 amino acids
Function
Lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotic (lantibiotic) active on Gram-positive bacteria. The bactericidal activity of lantibiotics is based on depolarization of energized bacterial cytoplasmic membranes, initiated by the formation of aqueous transmembrane pores (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the type A lantibiotic family.
