Identification of a new family of peptidoglycan transpeptidases reveals atypical crosslinking is essential for viability in Clostridioides difficile

K. W. Bollinger, U. Muh, K. L. Ocius, A. J. Apostolos, M. M. Pires, R. F. Helm, D. L. Popham, D. S. Weiss, C. D. Ellermeier

This study identifies a new family of LDTs in C. difficile that catalyze 3-3 peptidoglycan crosslinking, essential for viability and distinct from previously known YkuD domain LDTs.

Bacterial cell surface nanoenvironment requires a specialized chaperone to activate a peptidoglycan biosynthetic enzyme

T. Delerue, S. Chareyre, V. Anantharaman, M. C. Gilmore, D. L. Popham, f. Cava, L. Aravind, K. S. Ramamurthi

This study identifies SpoVK as a chaperone that activates MurG during spore surface assembly in Bacillus subtilis, highlighting the need for specialized chaperones in specific nanoenvironments.

Comparative study of bacterial SPOR domains identifies functionally important differences in glycan binding affinity

A. Yahashiri, G. M. Kaus, D. L. Popham, J. C. D. Houtman, D. S. Weiss

This study compares the glycan binding affinity of bacterial SPOR domains using ITC and shows that affinity differences impact function for some domains but not others.

Lysozyme resistance in C. difficile is dependent on two peptidoglycan deacetylases

G. M. Kaus, L. F. Snyder, U. Muh, M. J. Flores, D. L. Popham, C. D. Ellermeier

This paper identifies two peptidoglycan deacetylases, PgdA and PdaV, as essential for lysozyme resistance in C. difficile, showing they are partially redundant and critical for this resistance mechanism.
