Divergent Effects of Peptidoglycan Carboxypeptidase DacA on Intrinsic β-Lactam and Vancomycin Resistance

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Vancomycin and β-lactams are clinically important antibiotics that inhibit the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links, but their binding targets are different.

Modulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis by Recycled Cell Wall Tetrapeptides

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan (PG), a polymer that is essential for the maintenance of cell shape and survival. During growth, bacteria remodel their PG, releasing fragments that are predominantly re-internalized and recycled.

The effects of daptomycin on cell wall biosynthesis in Enterococcal faecalis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Daptomycin is a cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotic reserved for the treatment of serious infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. Its mode of action is considered to be multifaceted, encompassing the targeting and depolarization of ...

The new effector AbSCP1 of foliar nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi) is required for parasitism rice

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Plant parasitic nematodes secrete effector proteins to parasitize hosts successfully. Of these proteins, serine carboxypeptidases have critical roles in pathogenicity.

[51] Exocellular dd-carboxypeptidases-transpeptidases from Streptomyces [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
peer reviewedStrains R39 and R61 are soil isolates. Their designations are arbitrary. In strain R39, the cross-link between the peptide units of the wall peptidoglycan extends from the C-terminal D-alanine of one unit to the amino group at the D-center ...
