Peptidoglycan-Binding Anchor Is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa OmpA Family Lipoprotein With Importance for Outer Membrane Vesicles, Biofilms, and the Periplasmic Shape

Magnus Paulsson et al.

Summary: The OmpA family proteins play crucial roles in cell morphology, membrane stability, and biofilm and outer membrane vesicle (OMV) formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lipoprotein from gene locus PA1041 was identified as a potential virulence factor that binds to peptidoglycan (PG) and influences the phenotype of the bacteria, leading to disordered biofilm formation. Mutants lacking this lipoprotein, designated as peptidoglycan-binding anchor (Pba), exhibited severe phenotypic changes, including enlarged periplasm spaces and increased release of OMV.

Distinct Amino Acid Availability-Dependent Regulatory Mechanisms of MepS and MepM Levels in Escherichia coli

Yung Jae Kim et al.

Summary: Peptidoglycan hydrolases are crucial for bacterial physiology, with the two major endopeptidases, MepS and MepM, showing protein level regulation dependent on amino acid availability. The regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways for MepS and MepM differ significantly, demonstrating the complexity of bacterial protein regulation mechanisms.

Targeting the Achilles' Heel of Bacteria: Different Mechanisms To Break Down the Peptidoglycan Cell Wall during Bacterial Warfare

Stephanie Sibinelli-Sousa et al.

Summary: Bacteria live in dense polymicrobial communities and compete for scarce resources, employing diverse mechanisms to harm, inhibit, and kill their competitors. These mechanisms include attacking the peptidoglycan of rival bacteria, which is a major component of the cell wall and provides a target for antibacterial molecules such as antibiotics, bacteriocins, and contact-dependent effectors.
