Abstract

Lacticin 481, a bacteriocin produced during the growth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CNRZ 481, was purified sequentially by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and preparative and analytical reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Ammonium sulfate precipitations resulted in a 455-fold increase in total lacticin 481 activity. The entire purification protocol led to a 107, 506-fold increase in the specific activity of lacticin 481. On the basis of its electrophoretic pattern in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, lacticin 481 appeared as a single peptide band of 1.7 kDa. However, dimers of 3.4 kDa also exhibiting lacticin activity were detected. Derivatives of the lacticin-producing strain which did not produce lacticin 481 (Bac - ) were sensitive to this bacteriocin (Bac s ) and failed to produce the 1.7-kDa band. Amino acid composition analysis of purified lacticin 481 revealed the presence of lanthionine residues, suggesting that lacticin 481 is a member of the lantibiotic family of antimicrobial peptides. Seven residues (K G G S G V I) were sequenced from the N-terminal portion of lacticin 481, and these did not shown any homology with nisin or other known bacteriocin sequences.
