Characterisation of ATP-Dependent Mur Ligases Involved in the Biogenesis of Cell Wall Peptidoglycan in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2013 ATP-dependent Mur ligases (Mur synthetases) play essential roles in the biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) as they catalyze the ligation of key amino acid residues to the stem peptide at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, thus representing ...

Polygalacturonases Release Cell-Wall-bound Proteins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1976 Purified polygalacturonases from two fungi released proteins from wall fractions prepared from three plant species. Peroxidase activity was associated with the proteins released from the cell walls, and several of the protein fractions released contained hydroxyproline.

Constitutive expression of a grapevine polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein affects gene expression and cell wall properties in uninfected tobacco [PDF]
, 2011 Background Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) directly limit the effective ingress of fungal pathogens by inhibiting cell wall-degrading endopolygalacturonases (ePGs).

Transcriptomic analysis of Arabidopsis developing stems: a close-up on cell wall genes
BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Different strategies (genetics, biochemistry, and proteomics) can be used to study proteins involved in cell biogenesis. The availability of the complete sequences of several plant genomes allowed the development of transcriptomic studies ...

Clostridium difficile has a single sortase, SrtB, that can be inhibited by small-molecule inhibitors. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Bacterial sortases are transpeptidases that covalently anchor surface proteins to the peptidoglycan of the Gram-positive cell wall. Sortase protein anchoring is mediated by a conserved cell wall sorting signal on the anchored protein ...

Cell Wall Proteins at Low Water Potentials [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1987 We investigated the proteins extractable from cell walls of stem tissues when plants were subjected to low water potentials (low psi(w)). Dark-grown soybean seedlings (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) showed decreased stem growth when the roots were exposed to vermiculite having low water content (psi(w) = -3 bar).

Impact of Fungal MAPK Pathway Targets on the Cell Wall
Journal of Fungi, 2018 The fungal cell wall is an extracellular organelle that provides structure and protection to cells. The cell wall also influences the interactions of cells with each other and surfaces.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]
, 2013 Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.
