Abstract:
The calcium‐dependent antibiotics (CDAs) are an important emerging class of antibiotics. The crystal structure of the CDA laspartomycin C in complex with calcium and the ligand geranyl‐phosphate at a resolution of 1.28 Å is reported. This is the first crystal structure of a CDA bound to its bacterial target. The structure is also the first to be reported for an antibiotic that binds the essential bacterial phospholipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C 55 ‐P). These structural insights are of great value in the design of antibiotics capable of exploiting this unique bacterial target.
