FtsN maintains active septal cell wall synthesis by forming a processive complex with the septum-specific peptidoglycan synthases in E. coli
FtsN plays an essential role in promoting the inward synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (sPG)
by the FtsWI complex during bacterial cell division. How it achieves this role is unclear. Here …

Diversification of division mechanisms in endospore-forming bacteria revealed by analyses of peptidoglycan synthesis in Clostridioides difficile
The bacterial enzymes FtsW and FtsI, encoded in the highly conserved dcw gene cluster,
are considered to be universally essential for the synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (PG) …

Assembly dynamics of FtsZ and DamX during infection-related filamentation and division in uropathogenic E. coli
During infection of bladder epithelial cells, uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) can stop
dividing and grow into highly filamentous forms. Here, we find that some filaments of E. coli …

In vitro studies of the protein-interaction network of cell-wall lytic transglycosylase RlpA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The protein networks of cell-wall-biosynthesis assemblies are largely unknown. A key class
of enzymes in these assemblies is the lytic transglycosylases (LTs), of which eleven exist in …

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer
membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are …
