Branching sites and morphological abnormalities behave as ectopic poles in shape-defective Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2004

Nilsen Trine, Ghosh Anindya S, Goldberg Marcia B, Young Kevin D

Abstract excerpt

Certain mutants in Escherichia coli lacking multiple penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) produce misshapen cells containing kinks, bends and branches. These deformed regions exhibit two structural characteristics of normal cell poles: the peptidoglycan is inert to dilution by new synthesis or turnover, and a similarly stable patch of outer membrane caps the sites. To test the premise that these aberrant sites...
