Type 2 lantipeptide synthetase and precursors. (A) Synteny plots of lantipeptide biosynthesis gene clusters. Chromosomal locations are labelled below strain name abreviations on the left. (B) Comparison of amino acid sequences of lantipeptide precursors in DS4 (Donsha4_03920–03950) with PCC10605. Precursor peptides contain an N-terminal leader sequence and a C-terminal core peptide. Two conserved glycine residues are labeled with red stars
