Identification of MltG as a potential terminase for peptidoglycan polymerization in bacteria.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2016

Yunck Rachel, Cho Hongbaek, Bernhardt Thomas G

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial cells are fortified against osmotic lysis by a cell wall made of peptidoglycan (PG). Synthases called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), the targets of penicillin and related antibiotics, polymerize the glycan strands of PG and crosslink them into the cell wall meshwork via attached peptides. The average length of glycan chains inserted into the matrix by the PBPs is thought to play an important role...
