Export of colicin V is dependent on specific ABC (ATP‐binding cassette) secretion proteins which recognize a double‐glycine‐type leader peptide on the immature colicin V bacteriocin. Replacement of the colicin V leader peptide by a signal peptide from the signal sequence‐dependent bacteriocin divergicin A allowed expression of colicin V in lactic acid bacteria. This system may serve as a model for the heterologous expression of other small bacteriocins active against Gram‐negative bacteria and other antibacterial peptides from lactic acid bacteria.}, number={1}, journal={LETTERS IN APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY}, author={McCormick, JK and Klaenhammer, TR and Stiles, ME}, year={1999}, month={Jul}, pages={37–41} }
