Abstract excerpt
Bacteria have evolved diverse strategies to resist antimicrobial peptides, among them lipid II-targeting lantibiotics such as nisin. PsdAB, an ABC-type transporter regulated by the PsdRS two-component system, contributes to nisin resistance, though its structural and mechanistic basis have remained unclear. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of Bacillus subtilis PsdAB, revealing a dimeric assembly with an...
