Fujii, T., Ingham, C.J., Nakayama, J., Beerthuyzen, M.M., Kunuki, R., Molenaar, D., ...
A two-component regulatory system of Lactobacillus plantarum, encoded by genes designated lamK and lamR (hpk10 and rrp10), was studied. The lamK and lamR genes encode proteins which are highly...

The lantibiotic nisin, produced by Lactococcus lactis, is an antimicrobial peptide characterized by the presence of three unsaturated amino acid side chains (two dehydroalanines and one...
Biosynthesis and engineering of the antimicrobial peptide nisin of Lactocococus lactis. (1995)

A transferable dual-plasmid inducible gene expression system for use in lactic acid bacteria that is based on the autoregulatory properties of the antimicrobial peptide nisin produced by Lactococcus...
Functional analysis of promoters in the nisin gene cluster of Lactococcus lactis.
De Ruyter, P G, Kuipers, O P, Beerthuyzen, M M, De Vos, W M
The promoters in the nisin gene cluster nisABTCIPRKFEG of Lactococcus lactis were characterized by primer extension and transcriptional fusions to the Escherichia coli promoterless beta-glucuronidase...
Distribution and evolution of nisin-sucrose elements in Lactococcus lactis.
Rauch, P J, Beerthuyzen, M M, De Vos, W M
The distribution, architecture, and conjugal capacity of nisin-sucrose elements in wild-type Lactococcus lactis strains were studied. Element architecture was analyzed with the aid of hybridizations...
