Reconstituting spore cortex peptidoglycan biosynthesis reveals a deacetylase that catalyzes transamidation

M. J. Tobin, S. Y. Cho, W. Profy, T. M. Ryan, D. H. Le, C. Lin, E. Z. Yip, J. L. Dorsey, B. R. Levy, J. D. Rhodes, M. A. Welsh

This study reconstitutes spore cortex peptidoglycan biosynthesis in vitro, demonstrating that CwlD and PdaA together generate muramic-δ-lactam, with PdaA acting as a transamidase.

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.
