Structure of the Large Extracellular Loop of FtsX and Its Interaction with the Essential Peptidoglycan Hydrolase PcsB in Streptococcus pneumoniae

, 2019
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading killer of infants and immunocompromised adults and has become increasingly resistant to major antibiotics. Therefore, the development of new antibiotic strategies is desperately needed.

Comprehensive analysis of peptidoglycan hydrolases in Caulobacter crescentus

, 2016
The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus is a large macromolecule enclosing most bacterial cells. During progression of the cell cycle, it needs to be continuously remodelled to enable elongation of the cell body and, finally, cell division.

A novel in vivo cell-wall labeling approach sheds new light on peptidoglycan synthesis in Escherichia coli

, 2011
Peptidoglycan synthesis and turnover in relation to cell growth and division has been studied by using a new labeling method. This method involves the incorporation of fluorescently labeled peptidoglycan precursors into the cell wall by means of the cell-

Temperature-dependent regulation of bacterial cell division hydrolases by the coordinated action of a regulatory RNA and the ClpXP protease

The Cell Surface
A defining feature of bacteria is the peptidoglycan cell wall which provides structural integrity and prevents osmotic lysis. While peptidoglycan hydrolases are required for daughter cell separation, dysregulated cell wall degradation may result in cell ...

Peptidoglycan Degrading and Sensing Systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2012
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) cell wall, built on a cross-linked sugar-peptide polymer called peptidoglycan, protects the bacterial cell from adverse environments.

Stimulation of PgdA-dependent peptidoglycan N-deacetylation by GpsB-PBP A1 in Listeria monocytogenes

, 2017
Listeria monocytogenes and other pathogenic bacteria modify their peptidoglycan to protect it against enzymatic attack through the host innate immune system, such as the cell wall hydrolase lysozyme.

Phage–derived Endolysins as Potential Antibacterials [Elektronisk resurs] : A Study of Peptidoglycan Hydrolase and Mycolylarabinogalactan Esterase Enzymes

, 2019
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria, at the end of their life cycle produce a set of enzymes called endolysins to lyse host cells from within, facilitating the release of the viral progeny.

Interactions between exeA and peptidoglycan in the type II secretion system of aeromonas hydrophila [PDF]

, 2009
Aeromonas hydrophila uses the type II secretion system to transport protein toxins across the outer membrane. The trans-envelope system is comprised of more than ten proteins, including ExeA and ExeB, which form a complex in the inner membrane and are ...
