Diverse structures of identified putative lantibiotic precursor peptides.

<p>Thirty nine selected lantibiotic precursor peptides shown in ClustalW alignment using MEGA5 <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091352#pone.0091352-Tamura1" target="_blank">[35]</a>. The locus tag is given on the left of the sequence and the amino acid position is given on the right. The cleavage site of the leader peptides is indicated by an arrow. The precursor peptide D187_01267 from <i>C. fuscus</i> DSM 2262 has eight cysteine residues, the highest among all the identified precursor peptides.
