Characterization of VanYn, a novel D,D‐peptidase/D,D‐carboxypeptidase involved in glycopeptide antibiotic resistance in Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727
13 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
VanY(n) is a novel protein involved in the mechanism of self-resistance in Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727, which produces the glycopeptide antibiotic A40926, the precursor of the second-generation dalbavancin, which is in phase III of clinical development. VanY(n) (196 residues) is encoded by the dbv7 gene within the dbv biosynthetic cluster devoted to A40926 production. C-terminal His6-tagged VanY(n) was successfully...
