Staphylococcus aureus sacculus mediates activities of M23 hydrolases
Nature Communications, 2023 Peptidoglycan, a gigadalton polymer, functions as the scaffold for bacterial cell walls and provides cell integrity. Peptidoglycan is remodelled by a large and diverse group of peptidoglycan hydrolases, which control bacterial cell growth and division ...

Nod2 Is a General Sensor of Peptidoglycan through Muramyl Dipeptide (MDP) Detection*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 Nod2 activates the NF-κB pathway following intracellular stimulation by bacterial products. Recently, mutations inNod2 have been shown to be associated with Crohn's disease, suggesting a role for bacteria-host interactions in the etiology of this ...

Digestion of Peptidoglycan and Analysis of Soluble Fragments
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Peptidoglycan (murein) is a vital component of the cell wall of nearly all bacteria, composed of sugars linked by short peptides. This protocol describes the purification of macromolecular peptidoglycan from cultured bacteria and the analysis of enzyme ...
