Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium glutamicum indicated that, in addition to ftsI, there are eight proteins with sequence motifs that are strongly conserved in penicillin binding proteins (PBPs): four genes that code for high-molecular-weight (HMW)-PBPs (PBP1a, PBP1b, PBP2a and PBP2b), two genes encoding low-molecular-weight PBPs (PBP4 and PBP4b) and two probable beta-lactamases (PBP5 and...
