Gramicidin S, a cationic cyclic decapeptide, exhibits the potent antibiotic activity through perturbation of lipid bilayers of the bacterial membrane. From the screening of natural antibiotics, we identified gramicidin S as a potent inhibitor for cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase from Escherichia coli. We found that gramicidin S inhibited the oxidase with IC(50) of 3.5 microM by decreasing V(max) and the affinity for substrates but showed the stimulatory effect at low concentrations. Our findings would provide a new insight into the development of gramicidin S analogs, which do not share the target and mechanism with conventional antibiotics.
