CommentThis HMM recognizes a number of type 2 lantibiotic-type bacteriocins, including mersacidin and lichenicidin. Members often are found as gene pairs encoding two-chain bacteriocins. Maturation is accomplished, at least in part, by a LanM-type enzyme (TIGR03897). This model describes only the leader peptide region.
