Binding mechanism of the peptidoglycan hydrolase Acm2: low affinity, broad specificity. [PDF]
Biophys J, 2013 Peptidoglycan hydrolases are bacterial secreted enzymes that cleave covalent bonds in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, thereby fulfilling major physiological functions during cell growth and division. Although the molecular structure and functional roles of these enzymes have been widely studied, the molecular details underlying their interaction with ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Methyl caffeate exhibits dual functionality against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. It directly disrupts bacterial membrane integrity, induces reactive oxygen species accumulation, and inhibits flagellar motility and the type III secretion system. Concurrently, it primes plant defence by activating defence‐related gene expression and enzyme activities,

A network-based approach to identify substrate classes of bacterial glycosyltransferases [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Bacterial interactions with the environment-and/or host largely depend on the bacterial glycome. The specificities of a bacterial glycome are largely determined by glycosyltransferases (GTs), the enzymes involved in transferring sugar ...
