Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae protects itself from components of the human immune defense system by a thick polysaccharide capsule, which in most serotypes is covalently attached to the cell wall peptidoglycan. Members of the LytR-Cps2A-Psr (LCP) protein family have recently been implicated in the attachment of anionic polymers to peptidoglycan in Gram-positive bacteria, based on genetic evidence from Bacillus...
