Role of the D-alanyl carrier protein in the biosynthesis of D-alanyl-lipoteichoic acid.
D-Alanyl-lipoteichoic acid (D-alanyl-LTA) is a widespread macroamphiphile which plays a vital role in the growth and development of gram-positive organisms. The biosynthesis of this polymer requires the enzymic activation of D-alanine for its transfer to the membrane-associated LTA (mLTA). A small, heat-stable, and acidic protein that is required for this transfer was purified to greater than 9...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of D-alanyl-lipoteichoic acid in Lactobacillus casei: D-alanyl-lipophilic compounds as intermediates.
D-Alanyl-lipoteichoic acid (D-alanyl-LTA) from Lactobacillus casei contains a poly(glycerol phosphate) moiety that is selectively acylated with D-alanine ester residues. To characterize further the mechanism of D-alanine substitution, intermediates were sought that participate in the assembly of this LTA. From the incorporation system utilizing either toluene-treated cells or a combination of m...
متن کاملMolecular interactions of a semisynthetic glycopeptide antibiotic with D-alanyl-D-alanine and D-alanyl-D-lactate residues.
LY191145 is an N-alkylated glycopeptide antibiotic (the p-chlorobenzyl derivative of LY264826) with activity against vancomycin-susceptible and -resistant bacteria. Similar to vancomycin, LY191145 inhibited polymerization of peptidoglycan when muramyl pentapeptide served as a substrate but not when muramyl tetrapeptide was used, signifying a substrate-dependent mechanism of inhibition. Examinat...
متن کاملKinetic evidence for the formation of D-alanyl phosphate in the mechanism of D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase.
The steady state kinetic mechanism, molecular isotope exchange and the positional isotope exchange (PIX) reactions of D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase from Salmonella typhimurium have been studied. The kinetic mechanism has been determined to be ordered Ter-Ter from initial velocity and product inhibition experiments. The first substrate to bind is ATP followed by the addition of 2 mol of D-alanine. P...
متن کاملCrystal structure of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate: meso-diaminopimelate ligase from Escherichia coli.
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanyl-d-glutamate:meso-diaminopimelate ligase is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanyl-d-glutamate in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. The crystal structure of the Escherichia coli enzyme in the presence of the final product of the enzymatic reaction, UDP-Mu...
