| Primary Identifier | IPR020970 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Bacteriocin_IIc |
| description | This class of bacteriocins was previously described as class V. The members include gassericin A, acidocin B and butyrovibriocin AR10, all of which are hydrophobic cyclical structures []. The N-and C-termini are covalently linked, and the circular molecule is resistant to several proteases and peptidases []. The immunity protein that protects Lactobacillus gasseri from the toxic effects of its bacteriocin, gassericin A, has been identified. It is found to be a small positively-charged hydrophobic peptide of 53 amino acids containing a putative transmembrane segment []- a structure unlike that of the more common immunity proteins as found in . |
