Glycocin F (GccF), a ribosomally synthesized, post-translationally modified peptide secreted by Lactobacillus plantarum KW30, rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible bacteria at nanomolar concentrations. Previous studies have highlighted structural features important for its activity and have shown the absolute requirement for the Ser18 O-linked GlcNAc on the eight-residue loop linking the two short helices of the (C-X6-C)(2) structure. Here, we show that an ostensibly very small chemical...
