Sublancin This family represents sublancin, a small bacteriocin active against Gram-positive bacteria. This family appears to be restricted to Bacilli. Sublancin was thought to be a lantibiotic but was later shown to be an S-linked glycopeptide. Glycosylation is essential for its antimicrobial activity. Sublancin is biosynthesized as a precursor peptide bearing an N-terminal leader peptide, and a C-terminal core peptide that is converted into the mature peptide. Sublancin comprises two alpha helices and a well-defined inter-helical loop. Sublancin inhibits B.cereus spore outgrowth, after the germination stage, approximately 1000-fold better than it inhibits exponential growth of the same cells and inhibits B.subtilis strain ATCC6633 and B. megaterium strain 14581.
