Molecular interactions of a semisynthetic glycopeptide antibiotic with D-alanyl-D-alanine and D-alanyl-D-lactate residues.
LY191145 is an N-alkylated glycopeptide antibiotic (the p-chlorobenzyl derivative of LY264826) with activity against vancomycin-susceptible and -resistant bacteria. Similar to vancomycin, LY191145 inhibited polymerization of peptidoglycan when muramyl pentapeptide served as a substrate but not when muramyl tetrapeptide was used, signifying a substrate-dependent mechanism of inhibition. Examinat...
متن کاملComplexation of acetyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine by antibiotic A35512B.
Antibiotic A3 5512B1.2) is a member of the glycopeptide family of antibiotics; complete structures have been reported for two members of this group, vancomycin3' and ristocetin A4' a) . Both vancomycin and ristocetin have been shown to form complexes with mucopeptides containing the terminal dipeptide D-alanyl-D-alaninee) ; this interaction within the bacterial cell inhibits crosslinking of the...
متن کاملSubstrate Inhibition of VanA by d-Alanine Reduces Vancomycin Resistance in a VanX-Dependent Manner.
The increasing resistance of clinical pathogens against the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin, a last-resort drug against infections with Gram-positive pathogens, is a major problem in the nosocomial environment. Vancomycin inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis by binding to the d-Ala-d-Ala terminal dipeptide moiety of the cell wall precursor lipid II. Plasmid-transferable resistance is conferred b...
متن کاملKinetic evidence for the formation of D-alanyl phosphate in the mechanism of D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase.
The steady state kinetic mechanism, molecular isotope exchange and the positional isotope exchange (PIX) reactions of D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase from Salmonella typhimurium have been studied. The kinetic mechanism has been determined to be ordered Ter-Ter from initial velocity and product inhibition experiments. The first substrate to bind is ATP followed by the addition of 2 mol of D-alanine. P...
متن کاملD-alanyl-D-alanine-Modified Gold Nanoparticles Form a Broad-Spectrum Sensor for Bacteria
Rationale: Rapid and facile detection of pathogenic bacteria is challenging due to the requirement of large-scale instruments and equipment in conventional methods. We utilize D-amino acid as molecules to selectively target bacteria because bacteria can incorporate DADA in its cell wall while mammalian cells or fungi cannot. Methods: We show a broad-spectrum bacterial detection system based on ...
