Structural Basis for the Peptidoglycan-Editing Activity of YfiH

Structural Basis for the Peptidoglycan-Editing Activity of YfiH

ABSTRACT Bacterial cells are encased in peptidoglycan (PG), a polymer of disaccharide N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetyl-muramic acid (MurNAc) cross-linked by peptide stems. PG is synthesized in the cytoplasm as UDP-MurNAc-peptide precursors, of which the amino acid composition of the peptide...
