Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis by Outer-Membrane Proteins
Athanasios Typas,Manuel Banzhaf,H. Bart van den Berg van Saparoea,Jolanda Verheul,Jacob Biboy,Robert J. Nichols,Matylda Zietek,Katrin Beilharz,Kai Kannenberg,Moritz von Rechenberg,Eefjan Breukink,Tanneke den Blaauwen,Carol A. Gross,Waldemar Vollmer +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PG synthases are also controlled from outside the sacculus, and the data suggest that the LpoB-PBP1B complex contributes to OM constriction during cell division.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation of the Escherichia coli divisome occurs in two steps
Mirjam E. G. Aarsman,André Piette,Claudine Fraipont,Thessa M. F. Vinkenvleugel,Martine Nguyen-Distèche,Tanneke den Blaauwen +5 more
TL;DR: A two‐step model for bacterial division is suggested in which the Z‐ring is involved in the switch from cylindrical to polar peptidoglycan synthesis, whereas the much later localizing cell division proteins are responsible for the modification of the envelope shape into that of two new poles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenesis of rod‐shaped sacculi
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a protein complex, the elongase that inserts disaccharidepentapeptide units at a limited number of discrete sites while using the cytoskeletal MreB helix as a tracking device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of FtsZ Assembly in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: Results suggest that (near) termination of DNA replication could provide a signal that initiates the process of cell division in Escherichia coli.
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.
