Abstract excerpt
Levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an essential glycolipid on the surface of most gram-negative bacteria, are tightly controlled-making LPS synthesis a promising target for developing new antibiotics. Escherichia coli adaptor protein LapB (YciM) plays an important role in regulating LPS synthesis by promoting degradation of LpxC, a deacetylase that catalyzes the first committed step in LPS synthesis. Under...
