The hydrolase LpqI primes mycobacterial peptidoglycan recycling

2018-05-03

Abstract excerpt

Growth and division by most bacteria requires remodeling and cleavage of their cell wall. A byproduct of this process is the generation of free peptidoglycan (PG) fragments known as muropeptides. These muropeptides are recycled in many model organisms, where the bacteria can harness their unique nature as a signal for cell wall damage. These molecules also serve as important signals for hosts where binding to spec...
