Antibiotic resistance is a significant threat to human health, with natural products remaining the best source for new antimicrobial compounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural products with great potential for clinical use as they are small, amenable to customization, and show broad‐spectrum activities. Lynronne‐1 is a promising AMP identified in the rumen microbiome that shows broad‐spectrum activity against pathogens such as methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. Here we investigated the structure of Lynronne‐1 using solution NMR spectroscopy and identified a 13‐residue amphipathic helix containing all six cationic residues. We used biophysical approaches to observe folding, membrane partitioning and membrane lysis selective to the presence of anionic lipids. We translated our understanding of Lynronne‐1 structure to design peptides which varied in the size of their hydrophobic helical face. These peptides displayed the predicted continuum of membrane‐lysis activities in vitro and in vivo, and yielded a new AMP with 4‐fold improved activity against A. baumannii and 32‐fold improved activity against S. aureus. Here we describe the biophysical characterization of Lynronne‐1, an antimicrobial peptide found in the bovine rumen microbiome. We reveal the location of an amphipathic helix containing all six cationic residues, and observe lipid‐selective folding, membrane‐binding and lysis. Our structural data were used to design three variants with changes in the size of the hydrophobic helical face, one of which yielded 32‐fold improved activity in vivo.
