Nascent teichoic acids insertion into the cell wall directs the localization and activity of the major pneumococcal autolysin LytA

The Cell Surface, 2018
The bacterial cell wall is in part composed of the peptidoglycan (PG) layer that maintains the cell shape and sustains the basic cellular processes of growth and division. The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria also carries teichoic acids (TAs). In this

From discovery to potential application: engineering a novel M23 peptidase to combat Listeria monocytogenes

Scientific Reports
Peptidoglycan hydrolases are promising alternatives for combating pathogens due to their specificity and potent bacteriolytic activity. In this study, a novel M23 peptidase from Streptococcus thermophilus NCTC10353, designated StM23, was discovered and ...

Chapter 12. Measure of peptidoglycan hydrolase activity Running head: peptidoglycan remodelling enzymes

, 2017
Most of the gene clusters encoding multiprotein complexes of the bacterial cell envelope, such as conjugation and secretion systems, Type IV pili and flagella, bear a gene encoding an enzyme with peptidoglycan hydrolase activity. These enzymes are usually glycoside hydrolases that cleave the glycan chains of the peptidoglycan.
