Bacteria surround their cell membrane with a net-like peptidoglycan layer, called sacculus,
to protect the cell from bursting and maintain its cell shape. Sacculus growth during …

The bacterial cell wall is composed of a highly crosslinked matrix of glycopeptide polymers
known as peptidoglycan that dictates bacterial cell morphology and protects against …

The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall produced by the bacterial division machinery is initially
shared between the daughters and must be split to promote cell separation and complete …

Intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) have been implicated in diverse nuclear and
cytoplasmic functions in eukaryotes, but their roles in bacteria are less clear. Here, we report …

Bacterial cells are encased in a peptidoglycan (PG) exoskeleton that protects them from
osmotic lysis and specifies their distinct shapes. Cell wall hydrolases are required to enlarge …

The FtsEX complex regulates, directly or via a protein mediator depending on bacterial
genera, peptidoglycan degradation for cell division. In mycobacteria and Gram-positive …

FtsEX is a bacterial ABC transporter that regulates the activity of periplasmic peptidoglycan
amidases via its interaction with the murein hydrolase activator, EnvC. In Escherichia coli …

Bacteria use selective membrane transporting strategies to support cell survival in different
environments. Of the membrane transport systems, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) …

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are usually involved in the translocation of their
cognate substrates, which is driven by ATP hydrolysis. Typically, these transporters are …

Several important human pathogens are represented in the Corynebacterineae suborder,
including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium diphtheriae. These bacteria are …
