Identification and Characterization of the Lipoprotein <i>N</i> -acyltransferase in <i>Bacteroides</i>
2024-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Members of the Bacteroidota compose a large portion of the human gut microbiota, contributing to overall gut health via the degradation of various polysaccharides. This process is facilitated by lipoproteins, globular proteins anchored to the cell surface by a lipidated N-terminal cysteine. Despite their importance, lipoprotein synthesis by these bacteria is understudied. In E. coli , the α-amino linked lipid of...
