Chemical structure of PGP-type LTA. Schematic representation of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis LTA, which consists of a PGP chain that is linked to a diglucosyldiacylglycerol lipid anchor (boxed in orange). The hydroxyl groups at position C2 of the GroP subunits are substituted with d-alanine residues in both organisms and additional N-acetylglucosamine modifications are found in B. subtilis (shown in blue).
