Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that the extracytoplasmic function sigma factor sigmaE is required for normal cell wall structure in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

TL;DR: Together, data suggest that sigE is required for normal cell wall structure, and the role of sigmaE was further investigated by analyzing the expression of hrdD, which is partially sigE dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Peptidoglycan Structure from Vegetative Cells of Bacillus subtilis 168 and Role of PBP 5 in Peptidoglycan Maturation
TL;DR: The composition and fine structure of the vegetative cell wall peptidoglycan from Bacillus subtilis were determined by analysis of its constituent muropeptides and a major low-molecular-weight PBP (DD-carboxypeptidase) is suggested to play a role in peptidglycan maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural analysis of Bacillus subtilis 168 endospore peptidoglycan and its role during differentiation.
TL;DR: The structure of the endospore cell wall peptidoglycan of Bacillus subtilis has been examined and suggests a role for the DacB protein (penicillin-binding protein 5*) in cortex biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of spore cortex lytic enzymes and related proteins in Bacillus subtilis endospore germination
TL;DR: The location and function of recognized cortex-lytic enzymes of Bacillus subtilis have been explored, and the involvement in germination of a number of related proteins tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete spore-cortex hydrolysis during germination of Bacillus subtilis 168 requires SleB and YpeB.
TL;DR: The application of reverse phase HPLC revealed that the mutants do not have any structural defect in the dormant spore cortex and therefore these genes are not required for normal spore-cortex synthesis, and the analysis of peptidoglycan dynamics during germination showed that the cortex was only partially hydrolysed in both mutants.
