Hymeglusin is a fungal beta-lactone cell wall-targeting antibiotic that irreversibly inhibits cytosolic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) synthase by covalently modifying the active Cys 129 residue of the enzyme. Studies show that Hymeglusin can be inhibited by the (2R, 3R)-isomer of beta-lactone trans-DU-6622 because this lactone binds to the same site on HMG-CoA synthase as Hymeglusin. In addition, Hymeglusin suppresses the translation of cWRA in Staphylococcus aureus, which codes for a polypepetide that responds to cell wall inhibition.
