Abstract
Streptococcin A-FF22 (SA-FF22) is a lantibiotic produced by Streptococ cus pyogenes FF22. The nucleotide sequence of the SA-FF22 structural g ene (scnA) was determined and shown to encode a 51-amino-acid prepepti de. The proteolytic processing site of the SA-FF22 prepeptide differs from that which characterizes other type A lantibiotics.
