Abstract
Bacteriocins are potent antimicrobial peptides that are produced by bacteria. Since their discovery almost a century ago, diverse peptides have been discovered and described, and some are currently used as commercial food preservatives. Many bacteriocins exhibit extensively post-translationally modified structures encoded on complex gene clusters, whereas others have simple linear structures. The molecular structures, mechanisms of action and resistance have been determined for a number of bacteriocins, but most remain incompletely characterized. These gene-encoded peptides are amenable to bioengineering strategies and heterologous expression, enabling metagenomic mining and modification of novel antimicrobials. The ongoing global antimicrobial resistance crisis demands that novel therapeutics be developed to combat infectious pathogens. New compounds that are target-specific and compatible with the resident microbiota would be valuable alternatives to current antimicrobials. As bacteriocins can be broad or narrow spectrum in nature, they are promising tools for this purpose. However, few bacteriocins have gone beyond preclinical trials and none is currently used therapeutically in humans. In this Review, we explore the broad diversity in bacteriocin structure and function, describe identification and optimization methods and discuss the reasons behind the lack of translation beyond the laboratory of these potentially valuable antimicrobials.

Abstract
A mutant deficient in polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) activity was previously constructed in Enterococcus faecalis 14; a strain producing a leaderless two-peptide enterocin DD14 (EntDD14). Here, we examined the impact of the absence of PNPase on the expression and synthesis of EntDD14, at the transcriptional and functional levels. As result, EntDD14 synthesis augmented in line with the growth curve, reaching a two- to fourfold increase in the ΔpnpA mutant compared to the E. faecalis 14 wild-type strain (WT). EntDD14 synthesis has reached its highest level after 9 h of growth in both strains. Notably, high expression level of the ddABCDEFGHIJ cluster was registered in ΔpnpA mutant. Transcriptional and in silico analyses support the existence of ddAB and ddCDEFGHIJ independent transcripts, and analysis of the fate of ddAB and ddCDEFGHIJ mRNAs indicated that the differences in mRNA levels and the high EntDD14 activity are likely due to a better stability of the two transcripts in the ΔpnpA mutant, which should result in a higher translation efficiency of the ddAB EntDD14 structural genes and their other protein determinants. Consequently, this study shows a potential link between the mRNA stability and EntDD14 synthesis, secretion and immunity in a genetic background lacking PNPase.

BMC Genomics 2023; 24:639.

Abstract
Microbes live within complex communities of interacting populations, either free-living in waters and soils or symbionts of animals and plants. Their interactions include the production of antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) to antagonize competitors, and these producers must carry their own immunity gene for self-protection. Whether other coexisting populations are sensitive or resistant to the bacteriocin producer will be key for the population dynamics within the microbial community. The immunity gene frequently consists of an ABC transporter to repel its own bacteriocin but rarely protects against a nonrelated bacteriocin. A case where this cross-resistance occurs mediated by a shared ABC transporter has been shown between enterocins MR10A/B and AS-48. The first is an L50-like leaderless enterocin, while AS-48 is a circular enterocin. In addition, L50-like enterocins such as MR10A/B have been found in E. faecalis and E. faecium, but AS-48 appears only in E. faecalis. Thus, using the ABC transporter of the enterocin MR10A/B gene cluster of Enterococcus faecalis MRR10-3 as a cross-resistance model, we aimed to unravel to what extent a particular ABC transporter can be shared across multiple bacteriocinogenic bacterial populations. To this end, we screened the MR10A/B-ABC transporters in available microbial genomes and analyzed their sequence homologies and distribution. Overall, our main findings are as follows: (i) the MR10A/B-ABC transporter is associated with multiple enterocin gene clusters; (ii) the different enterocins associated with this transporter have a saposin-like fold in common; (iii) the Mr10E component of the transporter is more conserved within its associated enterocin, while the Mr10FGH components are more conserved within the carrying species. This is the least known component of the transporter, but it has shown the greatest specificity to its corresponding enterocin. Bacteriocins are now being investigated as an alternative to antibiotics; hence, the wider or narrower distribution of the particular immunity gene should be taken into account for clinical applications to avoid the selection of resistant strains. Further research will be needed to investigate the mechanistic interactions between the Mr10E transporter component and the bacteriocin as well as the specific ecological and evolutionary mechanisms involved in the spread of the immunity transporter across multiple bacteriocins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Archaea of the order Thermoplasmatales are widely distributed in natural acidic areas and are amongst the most acidophilic prokaryotic organisms known so far. These organisms are difficult to culture, with currently only six genera validly published since the discovery of Thermoplasma acidophilum in 1970. Moreover, known great diversity of uncultured Thermoplasmatales represents microbial dark matter and underlines the necessity of efforts in cultivation and study of these archaea. Organisms from the order Thermoplasmatales affiliated with the so-called "alphabet-plasmas", and collectively dubbed "E-plasma", were the focus of this study. These archaea were found predominantly in the hyperacidic site PM4 of Parys Mountain, Wales, UK, making up to 58% of total metagenomic reads. However, these archaea escaped all cultivation attempts. RESULTS Their genome-based metabolism revealed its peptidolytic potential, in line with the physiology of the previously studied Thermoplasmatales isolates. Analyses of the genome and evolutionary history reconstruction have shown both the gain and loss of genes, that may have contributed to the success of the "E-plasma" in hyperacidic environment compared to their community neighbours. Notable genes among them are involved in the following molecular processes: signal transduction, stress response and glyoxylate shunt, as well as multiple copies of genes associated with various cellular functions; from energy production and conversion, replication, recombination, and repair, to cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis and archaella production. History events reconstruction shows that these genes, acquired by putative common ancestors, may determine the evolutionary and functional divergences of "E-plasma", which is much more developed than other representatives of the order Thermoplasmatales. In addition, the ancestral hereditary reconstruction strongly indicates the placement of Thermogymnomonas acidicola close to the root of the Thermoplasmatales. CONCLUSIONS This study has analysed the metagenome-assembled genome of "E-plasma", which denotes the basis of their predominance in Parys Mountain environmental microbiome, their global ubiquity, and points into the right direction of further cultivation attempts. The results suggest distinct evolutionary trajectories of organisms comprising the order Thermoplasmatales, which is important for the understanding of their evolution and lifestyle.

Abstract
Enterocin DD14 (EntDD14) is a two-peptide leaderless bacteriocin (LLB) produced by Enterococcus faecalis 14, a human strain isolated from meconium. Studies performed on EntDD14 enabled it to show its activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. EntDD14 was also shown to potentiate the activity of different antibiotics such as erythromycin, kanamycin, and methicillin when assessed against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro and in vivo in the NMRI-F holoxenic mouse model. Additionally, EntDD14 has an antiviral activity and decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory IL-6 and IL-8 in inflamed human intestinal Caco-2 cells. The genome of E. faecalis 14 was sequenced and annotated. Molecular tools such as Bagel4 software enabled us to locate a 6.7kb-EntDD14 cluster. Transport of EntDD14 outside of the cytoplasm was shown to be performed synergistically by a channel composed of two pleckstrin-homology-domain-containing proteins, namely DdE/DdF and the ABC transporter DdGHIJ. This latter could also protect the bacteriocinogenic strain against extracellular EntDD14. Here, we focus on academic data and potential therapeutic issues of EntDD14, as a model of two-peptide LLB.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics has urged us to develop alternative strategies against bacterial pathogens. Moreover, a demand for food products containing no chemical preservatives has led us to search for new alternative technologies for food preservation. Bacteriocins - ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides - have been proposed as a new alternative to conventional antibiotics or chemicals for food preservation. This study describes biosynthesis and characterization of a novel leaderless bacteriocin, geobacillin 6, which was identified in the thermophilic bacterium Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius. Its amino acid sequence shows low similarity to other bacteriocins and it is the first leaderless-type bacteriocin identified in thermophilic bacteria. Based on structure assessment, the bacteriocin forms a multi-helix bundle. Geobacillin 6 exhibits a relatively narrow antimicrobial spectrum, it is active in the μM range and against Gram-positive bacteria, mostly thermophilic species closely related to the producer strain. Bacteriocin demonstrates stability over pH 3-11 and is highly thermostable, retaining 100% of its activity after incubation at 95°C for 6 h. Geobacillin 6 has potential in the food industry and biotechnological processes where contamination with thermophilic bacteria is undesirable.

Abstract
Type Three Secretion System (T3SS) is a sophisticated nano-scale weapon utilized by several gram negative bacteria under stringent spatio-temporal regulation to manipulate and evade host immune systems in order to cause infection. To the best of our knowledge, this present study is the first report where we embark upon characterizing inherent features of native type three secretion effector protein PemB through biophysical techniques. Herein, first, we demonstrate binding affinity of PemB for phosphoinositides through isothermal calorimetric titrations. Second, we shed light on its strong homo-oligomerization propensity in aqueous solution through multiple biophysical methods. Third, we also employ several spectroscopic techniques to delineate its disordered and helical conformation. Lastly, we perform a phylogenetic analysis of this new effector to elucidate evolutionary relationship with other organisms. Taken together, our results shall surely contribute to our existing knowledge of Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretome.

Abstract
Lactococcus garvieae is a main ichthyopathogen in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) farming, although bacteriocinogenic L. garvieae with antimicrobial activity against virulent strains of this species have also been identified. Some of the bacteriocins characterized, such as garvicin A (GarA) and garvicin Q (GarQ), may show potential for the control of the virulent L. garvieae in food, feed and other biotechnological applications. In this study, we report on the design of Lactococcus lactis strains that produce the bacteriocins GarA and/or GarQ, either alone or together with nisin A (NisA) or nisin Z (NisZ). Synthetic genes encoding the signal peptide of the lactococcal protein Usp45 (SPusp45), fused to mature GarA (lgnA) and/or mature GarQ (garQ) and their associated immunity genes (lgnI and garI, respectively), were cloned into the protein expression vectors pMG36c, which contains the P32 constitutive promoter, and pNZ8048c, which contains the inducible PnisA promoter. The transformation of recombinant vectors into lactococcal cells allowed for the production of GarA and/or GarQ by L. lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000 and their co-production with NisA by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis DPC5598 and L. lactis subsp. lactis BB24. The strains L. lactis subsp. cremoris WA2-67 (pJFQI), a producer of GarQ and NisZ, and L. lactis subsp. cremoris WA2-67 (pJFQIAI), a producer of GarA, GarQ and NisZ, demonstrated the highest antimicrobial activity (5.1- to 10.7-fold and 17.3- to 68.2-fold, respectively) against virulent L. garvieae strains.

Abstract
Enterocin DD14 (EntDD14) is a two-peptide leaderless bacteriocin produced by the Enterococcus faecalis 14 strain previously isolated from meconium. This bacteriocin is mainly active against Gram-positive bacteria. Leaderless bacteriocins do not undergo post-translational modifications and are therefore immediately active after their synthesis. As a result, the cells that produce such bacteriocins have developed means of protection against them which often involve transport systems. In this and our previous work, we constructed different mutants deleted in the genes involved in the transport functions, thus covering all the supposed components of this transport system, using Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 as the indicator strain to assess the activity of externalized EntDD14. We also assessed the self-resistance of the WT and all its engineered derivative mutants against EntDD14, provided extracellularly, in order to evaluate their self-resistance. The results obtained highlight that the ABC transporter constituted by the DdG, H, I, and J proteins contributes to EntDD14 export as well as resistance to an external supply of EntDD14. Our results also have established the essential role of the DdE and DdF proteins as primary transporters dedicated to the externalization of EntDD14. Moreover, the in silico data showed that DdE and DdF appear to assemble in a formation that forms an essential channel for the exit of EntDD14. This channel DdEF may interact with the ABC transporter DdGHIJ in order to control the flow of bacteriocin across the membrane, although the nature of this interaction remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the interactions between the leaderless class IIb bacteriocin, enterocin DD14 (EntDD14), or the methicillin or the combination of these antibacterials, and two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (MRSA-S1 and USA 300) which are respectively a clinical strain and a reference strain. The results obtained showed that EntDD14 alone or in combination with the antibiotic could significantly prevent the adhesion of these pathogenic bacteria to human cells. On the other hand, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of EntDD14 on the secretion of pro-inflammatory interleukins, including IL-6 and IL-8. The results show that EntDD14 is able to decrease significantly the secretion of both interleukins on Caco-2 cells following their treatments with lipopolysaccharides. These novel data provide insightful informations to support applications of bacteriocins as therapeutic agents capable as well to defeat pathogenic bacteria and concomitantly limit their inflammatory reactions.
