USE OF 4'-PHOSPHOPANTETHEINYL TRANSFERASE AS A TARGET FOR IDENTIFYING ANTIBIOTIC MOLECULES

摘要

The present invention pertains to the use of a PptT protein, as a target for screening compounds for identifying those having an antibiotic activity, especially against a pathogenic bacterium containing mycolic acids. The invention also concerns an in vitro screening process for identifying compounds having an antibiotic activity, by measuring the activity of a PptT protein in the presence or absence of said compounds.
