MprF is a bifunctional protein. Its synthase domain (S) transfers lysine from lysyl-tRNA to phosphatidylglycerol (PG) to synthesize lysyl-PG, whereas its flippase domain (F) transfers lysyl-PG across the inner membrane to the exoplasmic/periplasmic side. Negatively charged PG attracts cationic anti-microbial peptides (CAMPs), whereas lysyl-PG being neutral does not.
