Endopeptidase regulation as a novel function of the Zur-dependent zinc starvation response

2018-09-03

Abstract excerpt

The cell wall is a strong, yet flexible, meshwork of peptidoglycan (PG) that gives a bacterium structural integrity. To accommodate a growing cell, the wall is remodeled by both PG synthesis and degradation. Vibrio cholerae encodes a group of three nearly identical zinc-dependent endopeptidases (EPs) that hydrolyze PG to facilitate cell growth. Two of these ( shyA and shyC ) are housekeeping genes and form a sy...
