Enzymatic activities and functional interdependencies of Bacillus subtilis lipoteichoic acid synthesis enzymes.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall polymer in Gram-positive bacteria. The enzyme responsible for polyglycerolphosphate LTA synthesis is LtaS, first described in Staphylococcus aureus. Four LtaS orthologues, LtaS(BS) , YfnI, YqgS and YvgJ, are present in Bacillus subtilis. Using an in vitro enzyme assay, we determined that all four proteins are Mn(2+) -dependent metal enzymes that use...
