The FemAB-like factors Lif and Epr confer resistance to glycylglycine endopeptidases lysostaphin and Ale-1, respectively, by incorporating serine residues into the staphylococcal peptidoglycan interpeptide bridges specifically at positions 3 and 5. This required the presence of FemA and/or FemB, in contrast to earlier postulations.
FemAB样因子Lif和Epr分别通过将丝氨酸残基特异性地掺入葡萄球菌肽聚糖肽间桥的第3位和第5位,赋予对甘氨酰甘氨酸内肽酶溶葡萄球菌素和Ale-1的抗性。与早期假设相反,这需要FemA和/或FemB的存在。
