YvcK, a protein required for cell wall integrity and optimal carbon source utilization, binds uridine diphosphate-sugars

Abstract In Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes and in two Mycobacteria, it was previously shown that yvcK is a gene required for normal cell shape, for optimal carbon source utilization and for virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Here we report that the B. subtilis protein YvcK binds to Uridine...
