A feedback control mechanism governs the synthesis of lipid-linked precursors of the bacterial cell wall

L. S. Marmont, A. K. Orta, R. A. Corey, D. Sychantha, A. Fernandez-Galliano, Y. E. Li, B. W. Baileeves, N. G. Greene, P. J. Stansfeld, W. M. Clemons, T. G. Bernhardt

This study identifies a feedback mechanism in bacterial cell wall synthesis where excess lipid II inhibits MraY to regulate lipid carrier distribution among competing pathways.

FtsW is a peptidoglycan polymerase that is activated by its cognate penicillin-binding protein

A. Taguchi, M. A. Welsh, L. S. Marmont, W. Lee, D. Kahne, T. G. Bernhardt, S. Walker

This study identifies FtsW as a peptidoglycan polymerase that requires its cognate class B PBP for activity and is essential for septal cell wall synthesis during bacterial division.
