Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedIn this study, we report that CbnX (33 residues) and CbnY (29 residues) comprise a class IIb (two-component) bacteriocin in Carnobacteria. Individually, CbnX and CbnY are inactive, but together act synergistically to exert a narrow spectrum of activity. The structures of CbnX and CbnY in structure-inducing conditions were determined and strongly resemble other class IIb bacteriocins (i.e., LcnG, PlnEF, PlnJK). CbnX has an extended, amphipathic alpha-helix and a flexible C terminus. CbnY has two alpha-helices (one hydrophobic, one amphipathic) connected by a short loop and a cationic C terminus. CbnX and CbnY do not appear to interact directly and likely require a membrane-bound receptor to facilitate formation of the bacteriocin complex. This is the first class IIb bacteriocin reported for Carnobacteria.
