Abstract excerpt
In this work, we have characterized the soluble lytic transglycosylase (SltF) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides that interacts with the scaffolding protein FlgJ in the periplasm to open space at the cell wall peptidoglycan heteropolymer for the emerging rod. The characterization of the genetic context of flgJ and sltF in alphaproteobacteria shows that these two separate genes coexist frequently in a flagellar gene...
