Abstract
High level resistance to vancomycin and other glycopeptide antibiotics requires the synthesis of peptidoglycan terminating in the depsipeptide d-Ala-d-lactate, rather than the usual d-Ala-d-Ala. We report the purification and enzymatic characterization of two d-Ala ligases from Streptomyces toyocaensis NRRL 15009 which produces the glyc...
