Capistruin is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from Burkholderia thailandensis E264. Capistruin belongs to a class of peptides known of Lasso peptides, a structurally unique class of ribosomally synthesized peptides characterized by a knotted arrangement, where the C-terminus threads through an N-terminal macrolactam ring.
Capistruin exhibits antimicrobial activity against closely related Burkholderia and Pseudomonas strains.
