Penicillin binding protein 5 affects cell diameter, contour, and morphology of Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 2000

Nelson D E, Young K D

Abstract excerpt

Although general physiological functions have been ascribed to the high-molecular-weight penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) of Escherichia coli, the low-molecular-weight PBPs have no well-defined biological roles. When we examined the morphology of a set of E. coli mutants lacking multiple PBPs, we observed that strains expressing active PBP 5 produced cells of normal shape, while mutants lacking PBP 5 produced...
