Structure and Biosynthesis of Carnolysin, a Homologue of Enterococcal Cytolysin with <scp>d</scp>-Amino Acids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lantibiotics are a group of highly post-translationally modified bacterial antimicrobial peptides characterized by the presence of the thioether-containing amino acids lanthionine and methyllanthionine. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum C2 was found to produce a two-component lantibiotic homologous to enterococcal cytolysin. Through tandem mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, the post-translational modifications of carnolysin were established, and the topologies of the lanthionine and methyllanthionine rings were determined. Chiral GC-MS analysis revealed that, like cytolysin, carnolysin contained lanthionine and methyllanthionine residues of unusual stereochemistry. Carnolysin, unlike cytolysin, was shown to contain d-alanine and unprecedented D-aminobutyrate derived from serine and threonine, respectively. Carnolysin was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, demonstrating that reductase CrnJ is involved in the formation of the D-amino acids.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
