The unique and ubiquitous bacterial lipoprotein biosynthesis pathway is an attractive new antibiotic target. Crystal structures of its three biosynthetic enzymes have been solved recently. The first enzyme, Phosphatidylglycerol:proLipoprotein diacylglyceryl Transferase (Lgt), which initiates the post-translational modification at the metabolic interface of protein biosynthesis, phospholipid biosynthesis, protein secretion and lipid modification was reported to be a seven-transmembrane helical structure with a catalytic periplasmic head. Its complete solubilization in water or mild detergent in a fully active state, its chromatographic behaviour as an active monomer in the absence of detergent and recovery of active whole-length protein after proteolytic treatment of spheroplasts cast serious doubts about its proposed membrane association and orientation. Rather, it could be a seven-helical bundle partially embedded in the inner membrane's inner leaflet aided by hydrophobic interaction. In fact, there are examples where originally reported seven-transmembrane proteins were later shown to be seven-helical peripheral membrane proteins based on solubilization criterion and re-analysis. Validated computational tool, Membrane Optimal Docking Area (MODA), also predicted a weaker association of Lgt's helices with the membrane compared to typical transmembrane proteins. This insight is crucial to Lgt-based antibiotic design.

有证据表明细菌脂蛋白二酰基甘油基转移酶(Lgt)是一种弱关联的内膜蛋白。

独特且无处不在的细菌脂蛋白生物合成途径是一种有吸引力的新型抗生素靶标。最近已经解决了其三种生物合成酶的晶体结构。据报道,第一种酶磷脂酰甘油:原脂蛋白二酰基甘油基转移酶(Lgt)在蛋白质生物合成,磷脂生物合成,蛋白质分泌和脂质修饰的代谢界面上启动翻译后修饰,据报道是具有催化性周质的七跨膜螺旋结构头。完全溶解于水或温和清洁剂中,呈完全活性状态,它在没有去垢剂的情况下作为活性单体的色谱行为以及在对原生质体进行蛋白水解处理后回收的活性全长蛋白质的行为,严重质疑了其提议的膜缔合和取向。相反,它可以是在疏水相互作用的帮助下部分嵌入内膜内部小叶中的七螺旋束。实际上,在一些例子中,最初的七跨膜蛋白后来根据增溶标准和重新分析显示为七螺旋状外周膜蛋白。与典型的跨膜蛋白相比,经过验证的计算工具膜最佳对接面积(MODA)还预测了Lgt的螺旋与膜的结合较弱。这种见解对于基于Lgt的抗生素设计至关重要。它可能是一个七螺旋束,在疏水相互作用的帮助下部分嵌入内膜的内部小叶中。实际上,在一些例子中,最初的七跨膜蛋白后来根据增溶标准和重新分析显示为七螺旋状外周膜蛋白。与典型的跨膜蛋白相比,经过验证的计算工具膜最佳对接面积(MODA)还预测了Lgt的螺旋与膜的结合较弱。这种见解对于基于Lgt的抗生素设计至关重要。它可能是一个七螺旋束,在疏水相互作用的帮助下部分嵌入内膜的内部小叶中。实际上,在一些例子中,最初的七跨膜蛋白后来根据增溶标准和重新分析显示为七螺旋状外周膜蛋白。与典型的跨膜蛋白相比,经过验证的计算工具膜最佳对接面积(MODA)还预测了Lgt的螺旋与膜的结合较弱。这种见解对于基于Lgt的抗生素设计至关重要。在一些例子中,最初的报道的七跨膜蛋白后来根据增溶标准和重新分析显示为七螺旋状外周膜蛋白。与典型的跨膜蛋白相比,经过验证的计算工具膜最佳对接面积(MODA)还预测了Lgt的螺旋与膜的结合较弱。这种见解对于基于Lgt的抗生素设计至关重要。在一些例子中,最初的报道的七跨膜蛋白后来根据增溶标准和重新分析显示为七螺旋状外周膜蛋白。与典型的跨膜蛋白相比,经过验证的计算工具膜最佳对接面积(MODA)还预测了Lgt的螺旋与膜的结合较弱。这种见解对于基于Lgt的抗生素设计至关重要。
