Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a two-component fatty acid kinase responsible for host fatty acid incorporation by Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: The function for two conserved gene families and their essential role in the incorporation of host fatty acids by Gram-positive pathogens, and fatty acid kinase to the regulation of virulence factor transcription in S. aureus are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex Formation and Regulation of Escherichia coli Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase

TL;DR: Both in vitro and in vivo pull-down assays demonstrated that the three components of E. coli acetyl-CoA carboxylase form a multimeric complex and that complex formation is unaffected by acetyl -CoA, AMPPNP, and mRNA encoding car boxyltransferase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Three-Dimensional Structure of the Biotin Carboxylase-Biotin Carboxyl Carrier Protein Complex of E. coli Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase

TL;DR: The crystal structure of E. coli BCCP complexed with BC shows a unique quaternary structure and two distinct interfaces for each BCCP monomer, which provide novel targets for developing antibiotics against bacterial acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical Roles for Conserved Residues in the Bacterial Fatty Acid-binding Protein Family

TL;DR: Allelic replacement shows that strains expressing FakB2 mutants are defective in fatty acid incorporation into phospholipids and virulence gene transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

A thioesterase bypasses the requirement for exogenous fatty acids in the plsX deletion of Streptococcus pneumoniae

TL;DR: This work identifies tesS as the gene responsible for the difference in exogenous fatty acid growth requirement of the ΔplsX strains of S. aureus and S. pneumoniae.
