Ca2+-Daptomycin targets cell wall biosynthesis by forming a tripartite complex with undecaprenyl-coupled intermediates and membrane lipids
The mechanism of action of daptomycin, a lipopeptidic antibiotic, is unclear. Here, the authors show that Ca2+-daptomycin simultaneously interacts with lipid-coupled precursors of the bacterial cell envelope and with the anionic phospholipid phosphatidylglycerol, forming a tripartite complex.
