Modification of glycopeptidolipids by an O-methyltransferase of Mycobacterium smegmatis

Glycopeptidolipids (GPLs) are a major component of the outer layers of the cell walls of several non-tuberculous mycobacteria. The Mycobacterium smegmatis GPLs consist of a diglycosylated lipopeptide core which is variably modified by acetylation and methylation. Analysis of a region of the M. smegm...
