Tn551 inactivation of femA, a factor involved in methicillin resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, caused the production of peptidoglycan in which the fraction of monoglycyl- and serine-containing muropeptides was increased at the expense of pentaglycyl muropeptides. femA mutants have a specific block in the biosynthesis of pentaglycine cross bridges after the addition of the first glycine residue.
Tn551使金黄色葡萄球菌耐甲氧西林相关因子femA失活,导致肽聚糖生成,其中单甘氨酰和含丝氨酸的肽聚糖片段的比例增加,而五甘氨酰肽聚糖片段减少。femA突变体在添加第一个甘氨酸残基后,五肽甘氨酸交联桥的生物合成存在特定障碍。
