Synthesis and Characterization of a Dipalmitoylated Lipopeptide Derived from Paralogous Lipoproteins of Mycoplasma pneumoniae
26 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Genomic analysis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae revealed the existence of a large number of putative lipoprotein genes compared with the numbers in other bacteria. However, the pathogenic roles of M. pneumoniae lipoproteins are still obscure. In this study, we synthesized a lipopeptide (designated M. pneumoniae paralogous lipoprotein 1 [MPPL-1]) in which an S-dipalmitoylglyceryl cysteine was coupled to a peptide with a...
