The ppm operon is essential for acylation and glycosylation of lipoproteins in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

The ppm operon is essential for acylation and glycosylation of lipoproteins in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

BACKGROUND: Due to their contribution to bacterial virulence, lipoproteins and members of the lipoprotein biogenesis pathway represent potent drug targets. Following translocation across the inner membrane, lipoprotein precursors are acylated by lipoprotein diacylglycerol transferase (Lgt), cleaved...
