Peptidoglycan and Nod Receptor [PDF]
, 2014 Bacterial cells are encompassed by a macromolecular network of peptidoglycan, the major component of bacterial cell walls that provides the cell wall strength and determines bacterial morphology. Eukaryotic organisms sense the presence of bacteria by detecting peptidoglycan fragments shed by the bacterium or released through hydrolytic attack by host ...

A peptidoglycan hydrolase motif within the mycobacteriophage TM4 tape measure protein promotes efficient infection of stationary phase cells [PDF]
, 2006 The predominant morphotype of mycobacteriophage virions has a DNA-containing capsid attached to a long flexible non-contractile tail, features characteristic of the Siphoviridae.

Covalent attachment of proteins to peptidoglycan [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2008 Bacterial surface proteins are key players in host-symbiont or host-pathogen interactions. How these proteins are targeted and displayed at the cell surface are challenging issues of both fundamental and clinical relevance. While surface proteins of Gram-negative bacteria are assembled in the outer membrane, Gram-positive bacteria predominantly utilize

The Effect of NAG–thiazoline on Morphology and Surface Hydrophobicity of Escherichia Coli [PDF]
, 2004 The β-hexosaminidase inhibitor and structural analog of the putative oxazolium reaction intermediate of lytic transglycosylases, N-acetylglucosamine thiazoline (NAG–thiazoline), was synthesized in 46% overall yield and tested as an inhibitor of ...

Peptidoglycan Composition in Neisseria [PDF]
, 2019 The composition of Neisseria peptidoglycan has been of scientific interest for over four decades. Initial investigations focused on discovering the mechanisms causing rising rates of antibiotic resistance in N. gonorrhoeae by determining differences in peptidoglycan composition in penicillin susceptible and resistant strains.

Dual strategies for peptidoglycan discrimination by peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 The innate immune system constitutes the first line of defense against microorganisms in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Although much progress has been made toward identifying key receptors and understanding their role in host defense, far less is known about how these receptors recognize microbial ligands. Such studies have been severely hampered

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 ...

The Integrity of the Cell Wall and Its Remodeling during Heterocyst Differentiation Are Regulated by Phylogenetically Conserved Small RNA Yfr1 in Nostoc sp. Strain PCC 7120 [PDF]
, 2020 Yfr1 is a strictly conserved small RNA in cyanobacteria. A bioinformatic prediction to identify possible interactions of Yfr1 with mRNAs was carried out by using the sequences of Yfr1 from several heterocyst-forming strains, including Nostoc sp.
