The Mycobacterial Cell Envelope--Lipids [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) lipids are indelibly imprinted in just about every key aspect of tuberculosis (TB) basic and translational research. Although the interest in these compounds originally stemmed from their abundance, structural diversity, and antigenicity, continued research in this field has been driven by their important contribution ...

Structure of the cell envelope of Halobacterium halobium [PDF]
, 1976 The structure of the isolated cell envelope of Halobacterium halobium is studied by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and biochemical analysis. The envelope consists of the cell membrane and two layers of protein outside. The outer layer of protein

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The brucellae are facultative intracellular bacteria with a cell envelope rich in phosphatidylcholine (PC). PC is abundant in eukaryotes but rare in prokaryotes, and it has been proposed that Brucella uses PC to mimic eukaryotic-like features and avoid ...

A Proteolytic Complex Targets Multiple Cell Wall Hydrolases in
mBio, 2018 Carboxy-terminal processing proteases (CTPs) occur in all three domains of life. In bacteria, some of them have been associated with virulence. However, the precise roles of bacterial CTPs are poorly understood, and few direct proteolytic substrates have

mBio, 2023 The peptidoglycan (PG) layer protects bacteria from osmotic lysis and defines their shape. The class A penicillin-binding proteins (aPBPs) are PG synthases that possess both glycan polymerization and crosslinking activities needed for PG biogenesis.

The Gram-negative permeability barrier: tipping the balance of the in and the out
mBio, 2023 Gram-negative bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics, due in large part to the permeability barrier formed by their cell envelope. The complex and synergistic interplay of the two Gram-negative membranes and active efflux prevents the ...

Archaeal S-Layers: Overview and Current State of the Art
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 In contrast to bacteria, all archaea possess cell walls lacking peptidoglycan and a number of different cell envelope components have also been described.

The bacterial cell envelope as delimiter of anti-infective bioavailability - An in vitro permeation model of the Gram-negative bacterial inner membrane. [PDF]
, 2016 Gram-negative bacteria possess a unique and complex cell envelope, composed of an inner and outer membrane separated by an intermediate cell wall-containing periplasm.
