Recent Advances in Peptidoglycan Synthesis and Regulation in Bacteria
Biomolecules, 2023 Bacteria must synthesize their cell wall and membrane during their cell cycle, with peptidoglycan being the primary component of the cell wall in most bacteria.

Imbalance of peptidoglycan biosynthesis alters the cell surface charge of Listeria monocytogenes
The Cell Surface, 2022 The bacterial cell wall is composed of a thick layer of peptidoglycan and cell wall polymers, which are either embedded in the membrane or linked to the peptidoglycan backbone and referred to as lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and wall teichoic acid (WTA ...

Bacillus anthracis peptidoglycan stimulates an inflammatory response in monocytes through the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 We hypothesized that the peptidoglycan component of B. anthracis may play a critical role in morbidity and mortality associated with inhalation anthrax. To explore this issue, we purified the peptidoglycan component of the bacterial cell wall and studied

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The cell wall peptidoglycan of bacteria is essential for their survival and shape development. The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are responsible for the terminal stage of peptidoglycan assembly.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 The resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum to vancomycin depends on its peptidoglycan composition. Vancomycin has poor binding affinity with peptidoglycan precursors ending in D-alanyl-D-lactate (D-Ala-D-Lac) but binds strongly to peptidoglycan precursors

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Peptidoglycan, found within the cell wall of bacteria, is a structure critical for maintaining cell morphology and providing a protective barrier in diverse environments. Peptidoglycan is a remarkably dynamic structure that is constantly remodeled during

eLife, 2022 The peptidoglycan cell wall is a predominant structure of bacteria, determining cell shape and supporting survival in diverse conditions. Peptidoglycan is dynamic and requires regulated synthesis of new material, remodeling, and turnover – or autolysis –

PLoS Pathogens, 2023 The obligate intracellular Chlamydiaceae do not need to resist osmotic challenges and thus lost their cell wall in the course of evolution. Nevertheless, these pathogens maintain a rudimentary peptidoglycan machinery for cell division.

mBio, 2022 Bacteria in general serve two main tasks: cell growth and division. Both processes include peptidoglycan extension to allow cell expansion and to form the poles of the daughter cells, respectively.

The Absence of a Mature Cell Wall Sacculus in Stable Listeria monocytogenes L-Form Cells Is Independent of Peptidoglycan Synthesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 L-forms are cell wall-deficient variants of otherwise walled bacteria that maintain the ability to survive and proliferate in absence of the surrounding peptidoglycan sacculus.
