Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between two murein (peptidoglycan) synthases, PBP3 and PBP1B, in Escherichia coli
Ute Bertsche,Thomas Kast,Benoît Wolf,Claudine Fraipont,Mirjam E. G. Aarsman,Kai Kannenberg,Moritz von Rechenberg,Martine Nguyen-Distèche,Tanneke den Blaauwen,Joachim-Volker Höltje,Waldemar Vollmer +10 more
TL;DR: These studies have demonstrated, for the first time, a direct interaction between a class B PBP (PBP3) and a class A PBP(PBP1B) in vitro and in vivo, indicating that different murein synthases might act in concert to enlarge the muresin sacculus during cell division.
Journal ArticleDOI
The integral membrane FtsW protein and peptidoglycan synthase PBP3 form a subcomplex in Escherichia coli.
Claudine Fraipont,Svetlana Alexeeva,Benoît Wolf,René van der Ploeg,Marie Schloesser,Tanneke den Blaauwen,Martine Nguyen-Distèche +6 more
TL;DR: Direct interactions between FtsW and PBP3 in vivo and in vitro are shown by FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) and co-immunoprecipitation experiments and it is shown that these proteins are able to form a discrete complex independently of the other cell-division proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Monofunctional Glycosyltransferase of Escherichia coli Localizes to the Cell Division Site and Interacts with Penicillin-Binding Protein 3, FtsW, and FtsN
Adeline Derouaux,Benoît Wolf,Claudine Fraipont,Eefjan Breukink,Martine Nguyen-Distèche,Mohammed Terrak +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that MtgA localizes at the division site of Escherichia coli cells that are deficient in P BP1b and produce a thermosensitive PBP1a and is able to interact with three constituents of the divisome, PBP3, FtsW, and FtsN, suggesting that MtGA may play a role in peptidoglycan assembly during the cell cycle in collaboration with other proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional analysis of the cell division protein FtsW of Escherichia coli.
Soumya Pastoret,Claudine Fraipont,Tanneke den Blaauwen,Benoît Wolf,Mirjam E. G. Aarsman,André Piette,Annick Thomas,Robert Brasseur,Martine Nguyen-Distèche +8 more
TL;DR: Site-directed mutagenesis experiments combined with fluorescence microscopy shed light on the role of Escherichia coli FtsW, a membrane protein belonging to the SEDS family that is involved in peptidoglycan assembly during cell elongation, division, and sporulation.
