Fluorogenic D-amino acids enable real-time monitoring of peptidoglycan biosynthesis and high-throughput transpeptidation assays
Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential cell wall component that maintains the morphology and viability of nearly all bacteria. Its biosynthesis requires periplasmic transpeptidation reactions which construct peptide cross-linkages between polysaccharide chains to endow mechanical strength. However, trac...

description | Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential cell wall component that maintains the morphology and viability of nearly all bacteria. Its biosynthesis requires periplasmic transpeptidation reactions which construct peptide cross-linkages between polysaccharide chains to endow mechanical strength. However, tracking transpeptidation reaction in vivo and in vitro is challenging, mainly due to the lack of efficient, biocompatible probes. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and application of rotor-fluorogenic D-amino acids (RfDAAs) enabling real-time, continuous tracking of transpeptidation reactions. These probes enable monitoring PG biosynthesis in real time through visualizing transpeptidase reactions in live cells, as well as real-time activity assays of D,D-, L,D-transpeptidases, and sortases in vitro. The unique ability of RfDAAs to become fluorescent when incorporated into PG provides a powerful new tool to study PG biosynthesis with high temporal resolution and prospectively enable high-throughput screening for inhibitors of PG biosynthesis. |
