A mutation in RNA polymerase imparts resistance to β-lactams by preventing dysregulation of amino acid and nucleotide metabolism Patel and Helmann identify metabolic pathways that are dysregulated in RNAP mutant strains with altered β-lactam sensitivity. Genetic and physiological studies demonstrate that BCAA and Pyr synthesis ...
