Mutational analysis of LtgC, a lytic transglycosylase required for cell separation in <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>

2023-06-20

Abstract excerpt

Lytic transglycosylases function to degrade peptidoglycan strands that comprise the bacterial cell wall. Degradation of peptidoglycan at the septum following cell division is necessary for cell separation, and a deletion of ltgC in Neisseria gonorrhoeae results in growth in clusters of around 6-20 cells rather than as normal diplococci or monococci. N. gonorrhoeae LtgC is a homolog of Escherichia coli MltA, an...
