Abstract
- The following putative precursors of the pseudomurein were isolated from trichloroacetic acid extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum: a uridine diphosphate activated derivative of glutamic acid and the uridine diphosphate activated peptides (see text). The activated glutamic acid residue and the three activated pepetides lack the glycan components N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid present in the intact pseudomurein. In this case uridine diphosphate should be directly linked to the amino group of a glutamic acid residue, which represents a new mode of amino acid and peptide activation.
