Mechanism of sensing antimicrobial peptides by bacteria : towards a structural understanding ; LPS-bound structures of designed peptides : effects of incorporation of β-turn nucleating amino acids (D-Pro and Asn).

The Aps system, consisting of a transmembrane sensor protein ApsS and two cytosolic ApsX and ApsR, is responsible for antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) resistance mechanism in Gram-positive bacteria. The ApsS acts as a sensor to have direct interactions with AMPs through its extra-cellular loop connecte...
