Histidine-Triad Hydrolases Provide Resistance to Peptide-Nucleotide Antibiotics
ABSTRACT The Escherichia coli microcin C (McC) and related compounds are potent Trojan horse peptide-nucleotide antibiotics. The peptide part facilitates transport into sensitive cells. Inside the cell, the peptide part is degraded by nonspecific peptidases releasing an aspartamide-adenylate contain...
