Colicin import into E. coli cells: A model system for insights into the import mechanisms of bacteriocins (2014)
Journal Article

Bacteriocins are a diverse group of ribosomally synthesized protein antibiotics produced by most bacteria. They range from small lanthipeptides produced by lactic acid bacteria to much larger multi domain proteins of Gram negative bacteria such as th...

Immunity protein release from a cell-bound nuclease colicin complex requires global conformational rearrangement (2013)
Journal Article

Nuclease colicins bind their target receptor BtuB in the outer membrane of sensitive Escherichia coli cells in the form of a high-affinity complex with their cognate immunity proteins. The release of the immunity protein from the colicin complex is a... Read More about Immunity protein release from a cell-bound nuclease colicin complex requires global conformational rearrangement.

Structural evidence that colicin a protein binds to a novel binding site of TolA protein in Escherichia coli periplasm (2012)
Journal Article

The Tol assembly of proteins is an interacting network of proteins located in the Escherichia coli cell envelope that transduces energy and contributes to cell integrity. TolA is central to this network linking the inner and outer membranes by intera...

Internally quenched peptides for the study of lysostaphin: An antimicrobial protease that kills Staphylococcus aureus (2006)
Journal Article

Lysostaphin (EC. 3.4.24.75) is a protein secreted by Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus and has been shown to be active against methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The design and synthesis of three internally quenched substrates for l...
