Membrane lipid homeostasis dually regulates conformational transition of phosphoethanolamine transferase EptA

Abstract The phosphoethanolamine transferase EptA utilizes phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the bacterial cell membrane to modify the structure of lipopolysaccharide, thereby conferring antimicrobial resistance on Gram-negative pathogens. Previous studies have indicated that excessive consumption of...
