Mutations Affecting Peptidoglycan Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis

19 Aug 2005

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae acetylates its cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) at the C-6 position on N-acetylmuramic acid. To understand the effects of PG acetylation on PG metabolism and release of PG fragments, we have made mutations in the genes responsible for PG acetylation. An insertion mutation in a putative PG acetylase gene (designated pacA) resulted in loss of PG acetylation as detected by a high-performance liquid...
