Abstract excerpt
Control of peptidoglycan assembly is critical to maintain bacterial cell size and morphology. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are crucial enzymes for the polymerization of the glycan strand and/or their cross-linking via peptide branches. Over the last few years, it has become clear that PBP activity and localization can be regulated by specific cognate regulators. The first regulator of PBP activity in...
