Descriptor pediocinas
Entry term(s) pediocina
Scope note: Bacteriocinas producidas por especies de PEDIOCOCCUS. Su masa varía entre 3,5 y 4,6 kDa, contienen un motivo conservado YGNGVXCXK, una hoja beta en los extremos N y un dominio alfa-helicoidal C-terminal hidrofóbico o anfifílico más variable. Actúan como péptidos antimicrobianos contra varias especies patógenas de BACTERIAS GRAMPOSITIVAS, como LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES, y son útiles como CONSERVANTES ALIMENTARIOS.

Scope note: Bacteriocins produced by species of PEDIOCOCCUS. They range from 3.5-4.6 kDa in mass, contain a conserved YGNGVXCXK motif and beta sheet at their N-terminals, and a more diverse hydrophobic or amphiphilic C-terminal alpha helical domain. They function as antimicrobial peptides against several pathogenic species of GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA, including LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES and are useful as FOOD PRESERVATIVES.
