Structural basis for the hydrolytic activity of the transpeptidase-like protein DpaA to detach Braun’s lipoprotein from peptidoglycan
ABSTRACT The peptidoglycan layer is a defining characteristic of bacterial cells, providing them with structural support and osmotic protection. In Escherichia coli, this layer is linked to the outer membrane via the abundant membrane-anchored protein Lpp, known as Braun’s lipoprotein, with LD-trans...
