Peptidoglycan-based immunomodulation
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022Peptidoglycan (PGN) is a unique component in the cytoderm of prokaryotes which can be recognized by different pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in eukaryotes, followed by a cascade of immune responses via different pathways. This review outlined the basic structure of PGN, its immunologic functions.

Peptidoglycan (PG) recycling allows Escherichia coli to reuse the massive amounts of sacculus components that are released during elongation. Goodell and Schwarz, in 1985, labeled E. coli cells with 3H-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and chased.

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 ...

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 ...

Biosynthesis of peptidoglycan [PDF]
, 1980 The mechanism of biosynthesis of peptidoglycan has been elucidated in a number of organisms including Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli and more recently several members of the Bacilli. Although these organisms differ widely in morphology and the chemical composition of their peptidoglycans, the process of biosynthesis in each

The bacterial cytoplasm is enclosed by a rigid, highly structured layer of great mechanical strength, termed the cell wall. The wall is responsible for the maintenance of the shape and integrity of the cell. The cytoplasmic membrane which surrounds the bacterial protoplast has little intrinsic strength and if not overlaid by the wall would be ruptured ...

Peptidoglycan and peptidoglycan-specific Th1 cells in psoriatic skin lesions
The Journal of Pathology, 2006We have previously demonstrated, in psoriatic skin lesions, the presence of a subset of dermal CD4+ T cells that produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in response to a mixture of cell wall proteins extracted from group A streptococci. However, the identity of the antigen(s) involved is unknown.

Peptidoglycan recognition inDrosophila
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2007Drosophila rely primarily on innate immune responses to effectively combat a wide array of microbial pathogens. The hallmark of the Drosophila humoral immune response is the rapid production of AMPs (antimicrobial peptides) by the fat body, the insect homologue of the mammalian liver. Production of these AMPs is controlled at the level of transcription

The Immunochemistry of Peptidoglycan
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1974A 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

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 ...
