STRUCTURAL AND MECHANISTIC STUDIES OF THE PANTOCIN A BIOSYNTHESIS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 火疫病是一种毁灭性的植物疾病，是由欧文氏菌，革兰氏阴性细菌。这种疾病影响了100多种蔷薇科植物，包括商业上重要的苹果树和梨树。Pantocin A是由另一种革兰氏阴性菌Pantoea agglomerans产生的一种新型肽类抗生素，可抑制大肠杆菌的生长。食淀粉的。本项目试图利用结构生物学和生物化学手段来阐明泛解素A的生物合成。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Fire blight is a devastating plant disease that is caused by Erwinia amylovora, a Gram-negative bacterium. The disease affects more than a hundred rosaceous plant species, including the commercially important apple and pear trees. Pantocin A is a novel peptide-based antibiotic produced by Pantoea agglomerans, another Gram-negative bacterium, to inhibit the growth of E. amylovora. This project attempts to utilize both structural biology and biochemistry tools to elucidate the biosynthesis of pantocin A.
