Identification of the potential active site of the septal peptidoglycan polymerase FtsW.

Identification of the potential active site of the septal peptidoglycan polymerase FtsW.

SEDS (Shape, Elongation, Division and Sporulation) proteins are widely conserved peptidoglycan (PG) glycosyltransferases that form complexes with class B penicillin-binding proteins (bPBPs, with transpeptidase activity) to synthesize PG during bacterial cell growth and division. Because of their cru...
