Plastid peptidoglycan

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2010
It is now widely accepted that an endosymbiotic cyanobacterium evolved into the plastid of the primary photosynthetic eukaryotes: glaucocystophytes, red algae, and green plants. It has been thought that during the evolution of plants, the peptidoglycan wall (or murein) was lost from the endosymbiont immediately after the branching off of the ...

Peptidoglycan

2019
The peptidoglycan sacculus is a net-like polymer that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane in most bacteria. It is essential to maintain the bacterial cell shape and protect from turgor. The peptidoglycan has a basic composition, common to all bacteria, with species-specific variations that can modify its biophysical properties or the pathogenicity of ...

The Immunochemistry of Peptidoglycan

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1974
A pentapeptide, Gly‐l‐Ala‐l‐Ala‐d‐Ala‐d‐Ala, was synthesized and covalently linked with its free amino group to human serum albumin. Immunization of rabbits with this albumin‐peptide conjugate yielded antisera containing predominantly antibodies directed against the peptide. By means of inhibition studies with various amino‐aicd derivatives and related

Peptidoglycan and peptidoglycan‐specific Th1 cells in psoriatic skin lesions

The Journal of Pathology, 2006
AbstractWe have previously demonstrated, in psoriatic skin lesions, the presence of a subset of dermal CD4+ T cells that produce interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) in response to a mixture of cell wall proteins extracted from group A streptococci. However, the identity of the antigen(s) involved is unknown.

Complexation of uranium(vi) with peptidoglycan

Dalton Transactions, 2009
We investigated the interaction of UO(2)(2+) with peptidoglycan (PG), the main part of the outer membrane of Gram-positive bacteria, by potentiometric titration and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) over a wide pH (2.0 to 9.0) and concentration range (10(-5) to 10(-4) M U(vi), 0.01 to 0.2 g L(-1) PG).

The role of peptidoglycan in pathogenesis

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2005
Bacterial pathogens rely on a variety of virulence factors to establish the colonization of a new niche. Although peptidoglycan and its muropeptide derivatives have been known to possess potent biological properties, until recently the molecular bases were poorly understood.

Structure of peptidoglycan

1980
The fundamental polymer that is a common component of the cell walls of Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria, Rickettsiae and blue-green bacteria is called peptidoglycan (formerly mucopeptide or murein). As its name implies, it consists of glycan chains with peptide substituents, and in all examples that have been studied the peptide subunits are ...
