Lant_dehydr_C is the C-terminal domain of a family of dehydratases that are involved in the biosynthesis of lantibiotics. While the extensive N-terminal domain, Pfam:PF04738, is involved in the serine-threonine glutamylation step of the synthetic process, this C-terminal domain, once thought to be a separate domain from the dehydratase enzymic activity, is necessary for the final glutamate-elimination step in the generation of the lantibiotic [1]. Lantibiotics are a class of peptide antibiotic that contains one or more thioether bonds.
