Structure of plantaricin locus of Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3

Abstract: Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3 is a strain which is well known on the Russian pharmaceutical market and it is included in several probiotic products. The strain has been widely used since 1973 but the mechanisms of its antibacterial activity were unknown. L. plantarum 8P-A3 expressed high antagonistic activity against the wide range of bacterial pathogens including Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains.… Show more

“…Different mechanisms of antibacterial action are involved, but synthesis of organic acids and antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) are the most common weapons of bacterial wars for colonization locus and for nutrients. Expression of many bacteriocins of lactobacilli, enterococci or bifidobacteria is strictly regulated by the complex genetic regulatory systems involving three-component signaling and pheromone activation by the quorum sensing mechanism [34,35,36]. The majority of bacteriocin-producing strains generate peptides inhibiting growth of a narrow range of bacteria with similar colonization preferences; however, some probiotics such as L. plantarum 8P-A3 or E. faecium L3 synthesize multiple bacteriocins with extremely high inhibitory activities against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens [35, 36].…”

“…plnABCD locus has been known as regulatory operon, and the next three loci (plnEFI, plnJKLR, and plnMNOP) are related to plantaricin biosynthesis and their cognate immunity. plnGHSTUVW locus encodes the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter and suggesting a putative membrane protein, but homology searching with the deduced gene products of these open reading frames (ORFs) showed no obvious sequence similarity to any known proteins [9,10].…”

“…Pln locus of plantaricin encoding genes is genetically organized in either simple or complex operon (Diep et al, 2009). Plantaricin 423, S and W are found on one simple operon (Nissen-Meyer et al, 2009) whereas, L. plantarum C11, WCFS1, JDM1, J23, J51 and NC8 strains are organized in complex pln locus consisting of 25-28 genes in the mosaiclike structure of 5-6 operons encoding Class IIb bacteriocin (Diep et al, 2009;Tsapieva et al, 2011;Tai et al, 2015). All bacteriocin related information collected from bacteriocin databases, that have been created to compile the increasing number of bacteriocins characterized from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, may be used for the automated screening of bacteriocin gene clusters (Blin et al, 2013;Van Heel et al, 2013).…”
