An antimicrobial daptide from human skin commensal Staphylococcus hominis protects against skin pathogens

Coagulase-negative staphylococci secrete natural products that prevent pathogen colonization. Here, the authors identify hominicin, a daptide bacteriocin produced by Staphylococcus hominis that has antimicrobial activity against a skin pathogen.

Discovery of a new ATP-binding motif involved in peptidic azoline biosynthesis

A two-enzyme complex works as a cyclodehydratase to form TOMM natural products, but the roles of each protein have been unclear. Structural and biochemical analysis deconvolutes the roles of each protein and identifies a new ATP-binding motif.
