The MprF homolog LysX synthesizes lysyl-diacylglycerol contributing to antibiotic resistance and virulence

Lysyl-diacylglycerol (Lys-DAG) was identified three decades ago in Mycobacterium phlei, but the biosynthetic pathway and function of this aminoacylated lipid have since remained uncharacterized. Combining genetic methods, mass spectrometry, and biochemical approaches, we show that the multiple pepti...
