Interaction and modulation of two antagonistic cell wall enzymes of mycobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Bacterial cell growth and division require coordinated cell wall hydrolysis and synthesis, allowing for the removal and expansion of cell wall material. Without proper coordination, unchecked hydrolysis can result in cell lysis.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial‐resistant foodborne pathogens poses a continuous health risk and economic burden as they can easily spread through contaminated food. Therefore, the demand for new antimicrobial agents to address this problem is steadily increasing.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT The evolving threat of new pathogen variants in the face of global environmental changes poses a risk to a sustainable crop production. Predicting and responding to how climate change affects plant‐pathosystems is challenging, as environment affects host–pathogen interactions from molecular to the community level, and with eco‐evolutionary ...

Lytic Transglycosylases: Untangling Misconceptions in Bacterial Cell Wall Dynamics
, 2021 168 pages ; The bacterial cell wall comprises a strong, covalently closed network of peptidoglycan (PG) strands. While PG synthesis is generally essential for bacterial survival, the cell wall is also by necessity a dynamic structure and undergoes constant degradation and remodeling by “autolysins,” enzymes that break bonds within PG.

Modulation of the lytic apparatus by the FtsEX complex within the bacterial division machinery
FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 23, Page 2836-2851, December 2024.Conformational changes involved in the mechano‐transmission activation of the lytic machinery by FtsEX. This model is based on the Gram‐negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting the EnvC protein that facilitates the activation of the lytic enzyme AmiB during cell division.

Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile
Microbial Cell, 2018 Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

Structural and functional analysis of SleL, a peptidoglycan lysin involved in germination of Bacillus spores. [PDF]
, 2015 A major event in the germination of Bacillus spores concerns hydrolysis of the cortical peptidoglycan that surrounds the spore protoplast, the integrity of which is essential for maintenance of dormancy.
