Sortase enzymes are attractive targets for the development of new anti-infective agents against Gram-positive pathogens because they covalently anchor virulence factors to the cell wall. Here we review what is known about the mechanism of sortase mediated protein anchoring and discuss recently identified inhibitors of this new important enzyme family.
分选酶是开发针对革兰氏阳性病原体的新型抗感染药物的有吸引力的靶点,因为它们将毒力因子共价锚定到细胞壁上。在这里,我们综述了关于分选酶介导的蛋白质锚定机制的已知信息,并讨论了最近发现的这个重要新酶家族的抑制剂。
