Abstract:
Highlights? The structure of Mtb LdtMt2 shows the binding of a peptidoglycan fragment ? The structure of the complex maps the interaction between acyl donor and enzyme ? Ldts show a conserved C-terminal ykuD domain with a divergent N-terminal domain ? Based on the structure of this complex, a reaction mechanism is proposed
