Abstract excerpt
Bacterial lipid homeostasis plays an important role for the adaptation to changing environments and under conditions of antimicrobial treatment. The tRNA-dependent aminoacylation of the phospholipid phosphatidylglycerol catalysed by aminoacyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthases was shown to render various organisms less susceptible to antibacterial agents. Therefore, this type of enzyme might provide a new target to...
