Annotation

Description
Vancomycin antibiotic resistance in Enterococci is mediated by at enzymes of at least six different operons. These enzymes collaborate to alter the normal peptidoglycan layer by converting D-ala-D-ala cross-links into D-ala-D-lac or D-ala-D-ser. These converted peptidoglycan layers are resistant to recognition by vancomycin. In this entry, we present the structure of VanTg, a serine racemase that converts L-serine to D-serine, which is then incorporated into the vancomycin-resistant cell wall. The structure is dimeric, with each chain comprised of a TIM barrel domain and a primarily-beta sheet containing domain. This structure will be studied to understand the mechanism of L-serine recognition.
