AtlA functions as a peptidoglycan lytic transglycosylase in the Neisseria gonorrhoeae type IV secretion system.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2007

Kohler Petra L, Hamilton Holly L, Cloud-Hansen Karen, Dillard Joseph P

Abstract excerpt

Type IV secretion systems require peptidoglycan lytic transglycosylases for efficient secretion, but the function of these enzymes is not clear. The type IV secretion system gene cluster of Neisseria gonorrhoeae encodes two peptidoglycan transglycosylase homologues. One, LtgX, is similar to pepti...
