Structure of laspartomycin C in complex with geranyl-phosphate

Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedThe calcium-dependent antibiotics (CDAs) are an important emerging class of antibiotics. We here report the crystal structure of the CDA laspartomycin C in complex with calcium and the ligand geranyl-phosphate at a resolution of 1.28 A. This represents the first crystal structure of a CDA bound to its bacterial target. The structure is also the first to be reported for an antibiotic that binds the essential bacterial phospholipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P). These structural insights are of great value in the design of antibiotics capable of exploiting this unique bacterial target. High-resolution crystal structure reveals molecular details of target recognition by the calcium-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic laspartomycin C.,Kleijn LHJ, Vlieg HC, Wood TM, Sastre Torano J, Janssen BJC, Martin NI Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2017 Nov 6. doi: 10.1002/anie.201709240.
