EloR interacts with the lytic transglycosylase MltG at midcell in Streptococcus pneumoniae R6.

A. Ruud Winther, M. Kjos, M. Leangen Herigstad…·D. Straume

This paper identifies EloR as a key regulator of cell elongation in Streptococcus pneumoniae by interacting with MltG at midcell to coordinate PG synthesis with division.

Prevention of EloR/KhpA heterodimerization by introduction of site-specific amino acid substitutions renders the essential elongasome protein PBP2b redundant in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

A. Ruud Winther, M. Kjos, G. A. Stamsas…·D. Straume

This paper shows that disrupting EloR/KhpA heterodimerization in S. pneumoniae makes the elongasome redundant, highlighting the complex's role in regulating cell division.
