System-wide analyses reveal essential roles of N-terminal protein modification in bacterial membrane integrity

Summary: The removal of the N-terminal formyl group on nascent proteins by peptide deformylase (PDF) is the most prevalent protein modification in bacteria. PDF is a critical target of antibiotic development; however, its role in bacterial physiology remains a long-standing question. This work used...
