(A) Chromatograms of purified muropeptides from Ab17978 during stationary (stat.) and exponential (exp.) phase. Main muropeptides (no. 1-11B) are numbered according to Boll et al., 2016 (43). d-Lys–containing muropeptides (a to e) were identified by MS. Proposed muropeptide structures are shown in fig. S2. mA.U, milli absorbance units.(B) Proposed structures of d-Lys–modified muropeptides a to e. GM, N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramitol; l-Ala, l-alanine; d-iGlu, d-isoglutamate; m-Dap, meso-diaminopimelic acid; Lys, lysine; d-Ala, d-alanine. “Tri” or “Tetra” indicates the number of amino acids in the peptides chain preceding Lys.
