The proline-rich antimicrobial peptide Api137 disrupts large ribosomal subunit assembly and induces misfolding

Abstract The proline-rich antimicrobial designer peptide Api137 inhibits protein expression in bacteria by binding simultaneously to the ribosomal polypeptide exit tunnel and the release factor (RF), depleting the cellular RF pool and leading to ribosomal arrest at stop codons. This study investigat...
