Peptidoglycan turnover promotes active transport of protein through the bacterial cell wall

2025-09-13

Abstract excerpt

The bacterial cell wall is a critical load-bearing structure, but is not thought to be an important permeability barrier since proteins freely diffuse through isolated cell wall sacculi and bacteria secrete proteins without the aid of any known channels or transporters in the wall. Using new genetically encoded probes to measure the permeability of the cell in situ at the single-cell level, we discovered that the...
