Lipid II analogues bearing major modifications on the second sugar (GlcNAc) were synthesized and evaluated for their substrate activity toward TGases. Unexpectedly, N-deacetyled lipid II decreased its activity dramatically, and the C4-axial OH lipid II became an inhibitor (IC50 = 8 μM) with an approximately 14-fold increase in binding affinity toward TGase (25 vs. 27).

(Figure Presented) The preparation of a novel fluorescent lipid II-based substrate for transglycosylases (TGases) is described. This substrate has characteristic structural features including a shorter lipid chain, a fluorophore tag at the end of the lipid chain rather than on the peptide chain, and no labeling with a radioactive atom. This fluorescent substrate is readily utilized In TGase activity assays to characterize TGases and also to evaluate the activities of TGase inhibitors.

An essential feature in the life cycle of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria is the production of new cell wall. Also known as murein, the cell wall is a two-dimensional polymer, consisting of a linear, repeating N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) a
