Structural basis of promiscuous inhibition of Listeria virulence activator PrfA by oligopeptides

Tobias Hainzl, Mariela Scortti, Cecilia Lindgren…·A. E. Sauer-Eriksson

The paper reveals how oligopeptides inhibit PrfA, a virulence activator in Listeria, by binding to its glutathione-binding tunnel and preventing its activation.
