摘要
Lactobacillus plantarum C11 produces plantaricin E/F (PlnE/F) and plantaricin J/K; (PlnJ/K), two bacteriocins whose activity depends on the complementary action of two peptides (PlnE and PlnF; PlnJ and PlnK). Three of the individual Pln peptides possess some antimicrobial activity, but the highest barteriocin activity is obtained by combining complementary peptides in about a one-to-one ratio. Circular dichroism was used to study the structure of the Pln peptides under various conditions, All four peptides were unstructured under aqueous conditions but adopted a partly alpha-helical structure in the presence of trifluoroethanol, micelles of dodecylphosphocholine, and negatively charged dioleoylphosphoglycerol (DOPG) liposomes, Far less structure was induced by zwitterionic dioleoylglycerophosphocholine liposomes, indicating that a net negative charge on the phospholipid bilayer is important for a structure-inducing interaction between (positively charged) Pln peptides and a membrane. The structuring of complementary peptides was considerably enhanced when both (PlnE and PlnF or PlnJ and PlnK) were added simultaneously to DOPG liposomes. Such additional structuring was not observed in experiments with trifluoroethanol or dodecylphosphocholine, indicating that the apparent structure-inducing interaction between complementary Pin peptides requires the presence of a phospholipid bilayer, The amino acid sequences of the Pln peptides are such that the alpha-helical structures adopted upon interaction with the membrane and each other are amphiphilic in nature, thus enabling membrane interactions.
