Mode of action of lipoprotein modification enzymes-Novel antibacterial targets

Simon Legood et al.

Summary: Lipoproteins play crucial roles in bacterial cells, with their modification process involving complex enzymes and phospholipids, recently elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Given the essential nature of lipoprotein modification in proteobacteria, it serves as a potential target for the development of novel antibiotics.

Defects in the First Step of Lipoprotein Maturation Underlie the Synthetic Lethality of Escherichia coli Lacking the Inner Membrane Proteins YciB and DcrB

Aaron Mychack et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the synthetic lethality in Escherichia coli resulting from the inactivation of two inner membrane proteins, YciB and DcrB, is due to attenuation of the first step in lipoprotein maturation at the inner membrane. It is proposed that these two inner membrane proteins play a role in membrane homeostasis in E. coli and related bacteria.

Inhibition of Escherichia coli Lipoprotein Diacylglyceryl Transferase Is Insensitive to Resistance Caused by Deletion of Braun's Lipoprotein

Jingyu Diao et al.

Summary: Depletion of Lipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase (Lgt) in a clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain leads to increased outer membrane permeabilization and sensitivity to serum killing and antibiotics. The discovery of G2824 as a potent Lgt inhibitor highlights a potential new antibacterial target in the lipoprotein biosynthesis pathway.

Lpp positions peptidoglycan at the AcrA-ToIC interface in the AcrAB-ToIC multidrug efflux pump

James C. Gumbart et al.

Summary: This study used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interaction mechanism between Gram-negative bacteria multidrug efflux pumps and the cell wall, revealing the localization of PG at the junction of AcrA and ToIC and the crucial role of Lpp in anchoring PG to the outer membrane. The research also suggests a conserved role for interactions with PG in the assembly and stabilization of efflux pumps, with potential implications for other trans-envelope complexes.
