Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence suggests that d-amino acids play previously underappreciated roles in diverse organisms. In bacteria, even d-amino acids that are absent from canonical peptidoglycan (PG) may act as growth substrates, as signals, or in other functions. Given these proposed roles and the ubiquity of d-amino acids, the paucity of known d-amino-acid-responsive transcriptional control mechanisms in bacteria suggests...
