The lytic transglycosylases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.) - 1 Jun 2012

Chan Yolande A, Hackett Kathleen T, Dillard Joseph P

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae encodes five lytic transglycosylases (LTs) in the core genome, and most gonococcal strains also carry the gonococcal genetic island that encodes one or two additional LTs. These peptidoglycan (PG)-degrading enzymes are required for a number of processes that are either involved in the normal growth of the bacteria or affect the pathogenesis and gene transfer aspects of this species that make...
