MltG activity antagonizes cell wall synthesis by both types of peptidoglycan polymerases in Escherichia coli

Jessica L. Bohrhunter et al.

Summary: The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall surrounding bacterial cells is crucial for cell integrity and is a key antibiotic target. MltG has been identified as a potential terminase for PG synthesis in Escherichia coli, acting by cleaving PG glycans during active synthesis.

Regulated Cleavage of Glycan Strands by the Murein Hydrolase SagB in Staphylococcus aureus Involves a Direct Interaction with LyrA (SpdC)

Stephanie Willing et al.

Summary: LyrA modulates the length of glycan chains in Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan by interacting with SagB, without directly modifying or cleaving the peptidoglycan. This activity also explains the Lyr and Spd phenotypes observed earlier.

Structure and reconstitution of a hydrolase complex that may release peptidoglycan from the membrane after polymerization

Kaitlin Schaefer et al.

Summary: The study reveals that a Staphylococcus aureus cell wall hydrolase and a membrane protein complex may play a key role in releasing newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands to complete the synthesis of mature peptidoglycan. The complex cleaves nascent peptidoglycan internally and controls the length of the products.
