Regulation of the Peptidoglycan Polymerase Activity of PBP1b by Antagonist Actions of the Core Divisome Proteins FtsBLQ and FtsN

ABSTRACT Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential constituent of the bacterial cell wall. During cell division, PG synthesis localizes at midcell under the control of a multiprotein complex, the divisome, allowing the safe formation of two new cell poles and separation of daughter cells. Genetic studies i...
