E100Q | site-directed mutagenesis, E100Q binds moenomycin A in the same order of magnitude as the wild-type | Staphylococcus aureus |
F104A | site-directed mutagenesis, the binding response for F104A is drastically decreased compared to the wild-type | Staphylococcus aureus |
F120S | site-directed mutagenesis, modification of the residue within the hydrophobic region of enzyme MtgA yields monodisperse forms of the protein with apparently no change in its secondary structure content, but at the expense of the enzyme function.

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme belongs to the glycosyltransferases of family 51 (GT51), the glycosyltransferases of family 51 are essential enzymes found in bacteria with peptidoglycan cell wall. They exist in two forms: as a monofunctional domain or linked to the N-terminal end of penicillin-binding (PB) domain in bifunctional PB proteins. Both forms catalyze the polymerization of lipid II (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate-MurNAc(pentapeptide)-GlcNAc) precursor to form linear glycan chains | Staphylococcus aureus |
malfunction | inhibition of the enzyme blocks peptidoglycan synthesis and leads to bacterial lysis and death | Staphylococcus aureus |
additional information | the enzyme contain a conserved hydrophobic surface that mediates its interaction with the cytoplasmic membrane and renders the purified protein polydisperse. Quantitative binding study of the MtgA by surface plasmon resonance | Staphylococcus aureus |
physiological function | the enzyme catalyze the polymerization of lipid II to form linear glycan chains, which, after cross linking by the transpeptidases, form the net-like peptidoglycan macromolecule, which encases bacteria and protects them from rupture under their high cytoplasmic pressure | Staphylococcus aureus |
