Summary: Team Ionis_Paris 2020 contributed to this part by adding information learnt from the literature, a 3D structure of the part and existing experiments to characterize the part. The original composite part was not correctly annotated, so we performed a blast to add the features of each sequence composing the part. We did not have the time to test this part in the lab but it could be very useful in the case of our project, BacTail which goal is to fight against antimicrobial resistance with a antimicrobial peptide producing bacterium visit our wiki.
Usage
Bacteriocins are antimicrobial proteins naturally synthesized by bacteria to inhibit the growth of closely related species[1]. They are produced by the strains ‘’Eubacteria’’ and ‘’Archaebacteria’’ and are excreted in order to specifically recognize and destroy certain bacteria[2]. Bacteriocins can kill using different mechanisms, such as the formation of membrane pores. They are widely used as preservatives in the food industry or as antibiotics in the health industry[3].
