Synthetic mycolates derivatives to decipher protein mycoloylation, a unique post-translational modification in bacteria

Abstract excerpt

Protein mycoloylation is a newly characterized post-translational modification (PTM) specifically found in Corynebacteriales, an order of bacteria that includes numerous human pathogens. Their envelope is composed of a unique outer membrane, the so-called mycomembrane made of very-long chain fatty acids, named mycolic acids. Recently, some mycomembrane proteins including PorA have been unambiguously shown to be...
