Enterococcal cell wall remodelling underpins pathogenesis via the release of the Enteroccocal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA)

Robert E Smith, Bartosz J. Michno, Lowrence Rene Christena…·Stéphane Mesnage

This paper identifies AtlE, an N-acetylmuramidase essential for virulence in E. faecalis, showing its role in cell wall remodelling and immune evasion via the release of EPA-containing fragments.

Unusual 1-3 peptidoglycan cross-links in Acetobacteriaceae are made by L,D-transpeptidases with a catalytic domain distantly related to YkuD domains

Marcel G. Alamán-Zárate, Brooks J. Rady, Caroline A. Evans…·Stéphane Mesnage

The paper identifies 1-3 peptidoglycan cross-links in Gluconobacter oxydans using modified PGFinder software and discovers an L,D-transpeptidase with a YkuD-related domain responsible for these cross-links.
