Roles of PknB and CslA in cell wall morphogenesis of Streptomyces

M. Derkacz, A. Watson, A. Gajbhiye, M. Tracz, D. Jakimowicz, M. Trost, J. Errington, B. Kepplinger

This study identifies PknB-dependent phosphorylation of CslA as critical for cell wall morphogenesis in Streptomyces, showing how modulating β-glucan synthesis can counteract DivIVA dysregulation.
