Exploring the cytotoxic mechanisms of Pediocin PA-1 towards HeLa and HT29 cells by comparison to known bacteriocins: Microcin E492, enterocin heterodimer and Divercin V41
Fig 1
Sequence comparison of Microcin E492 and Pediocin A1 (pediocin).
Low consensus alignments (50%) are represented as blue letters, whilst high consensus alignments (90%) are represented as red letters. Microcin is significantly larger than Pediocin A1, whilst there is homology this a mainly low consensus homology with fourteen residues of high consensus [26].
