FIG. 1.
Lipoprotein-processing model for gram-positive bacteria. The diagram shows the two steps, lipidation and signal peptide cleavage, carried out by the enzymes Lgt, a lipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase, and Lsp, a lipoprotein-specific signal peptidase II, respectively. As Baumgärtner et al. report (2), an analysis of an L. monocytogenes mutant defective in Lgt revealed that Lsp can cleave nonlipidated prelipoproteins at the correct position in the lipobox sequence.
