Tunicamycin 17:1 is a mixture of tunicamycin structural isomers that contain a 17-carbon N-acyl chain with variable branching patterns. The N-acyl chain incorporated into tunicamycins, like tunicamycin 17:1, is derived from the same pool of cellular branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) in Streptomyces and directly impacts the biological activity of each individual tunicamycin variant.{54724,55467,50054} Purified tunicamycin 17:1 with iso or anteiso branching configurations inhibits bacterial phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide transferase (MraY) with IC50 values of 0.12 and 0.9 µM, respectively.{55467}
