[Abstract]  Peptidoglycan encases the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane to protect the cell from lysis due to the turgor. The final steps of peptidoglycan synthesis require a membrane-anchored substrate called lipid II, in which the peptidoglycan subunit is linked to the carrier lipid undecaprenol via a pyrophosphate moiety. Lipid II is the target of glycopeptide antibiotics and several antimicrobial peptides, and is degraded by ‘attacking’ enzymes involved in bacterial competition to induce lysis. Here we describe two protocols using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively, to assay the digestion of lipid II by phosphatases such as Colicin M or the LXG toxin protein TelC from Streptococcus intermedius. The TLC method can also monitor the ... [摘要]  肽聚糖包裹细菌细胞质膜以保护细胞免于因膨胀而导致的溶解。 肽聚糖合成的最后步骤需要称为脂质II的膜锚定底物,其中肽聚糖亚基通过焦磷酸部分连接至载体脂质十一碳烯醇。 脂质II是糖肽抗生素和几种抗微生物肽的靶标,并且通过参与细菌竞争的“攻击”酶来降解以诱导裂解。 在这里,我们分别描述了两种使用薄层色谱法(TLC)和高压液相色谱法(HPLC)的方案来测定磷脂酶如Colicin M或来自中间链球菌的LXG毒素蛋白TelC对脂质II的消化,的。 TLC方法也可以监测十一异戊二烯基(pyro)磷酸盐的消化,而HPLC方法允许分离脂质II的二 - ,单 - 或非磷酸化二糖五肽产物。

【背景】肽聚糖(PG)球囊是一种必需的细菌大分子,它可以保护细胞免受由于其膨胀引起的破裂并保持细胞的形状(Vollmer和Bertsche,2008; Typas等人,2012)。 PG由通过短肽连接的聚糖链组成。来自不同物种的PG在肽的结构和二级修饰的存在方面有所不同(Vollmer等人,2008)。 ...
