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

K. Schaefer, T. W. Owens, J. E. Page, M. Santiago, D. Kahne, S. Walker

This paper identifies a hydrolase complex in Staphylococcus aureus that releases peptidoglycan from the membrane by cleaving nascent polymers, enabling their integration into the cell wall matrix.

The cell cycle in Staphylococcus aureus is regulated by an amidase that controls peptidoglycan synthesis

T. Do, K. Schaefer, A. G. Santiago, K. A. Coe, P. B. Fernandes, D. Kahne, M. G. Pinho, S. Walker

This study identifies an amidase complex that spatially regulates peptidoglycan synthesis in S. aureus, controlling cell growth and division by modulating synthase activity and movement.

FtsW is a peptidoglycan polymerase that is activated by its cognate penicillin-binding protein

A. Taguchi, M. A. Welsh, L. S. Marmont, W. Lee, D. Kahne, T. G. Bernhardt, S. Walker

This study identifies FtsW as a peptidoglycan polymerase that requires its cognate class B PBP for activity and is essential for septal cell wall synthesis during bacterial division.
