Uncoupling mycomembrane biogenesis from mycolic acid synthesis reveals a distinct role for mycoloyltransferases in mycobacterial cell division.

Célia de Sousa d’Auria, Florence Constantinesco, Magali Prigent, Fatima Taiki, Claire Boulogne, Louis-David Leclercq, Lena Rosier, Mickaël Bourge, Vlad Costache, Mohamed Chami, C Labarre, Christine Houssin, Anne Marie Wehenkel, Amélie Leforestier, Yann Guérardel, Nicolas Bayan

This study shows that mycoloyltransferases are essential for mycomembrane assembly and cell division in Corynebacterium glutamicum, independent of their role in mycolic acid transfer.
