Processing of LtaS restricts LTA assembly and YSIRK preprotein trafficking into Staphylococcus aureus cross-walls

ABSTRACTSeptal membranes of Staphylococcus aureus serve as the site of secretion for precursors endowed with the YSIRK motif. Depletion of ltaS, a gene required for lipoteichoic acid (LTA) synthesis, results in the loss of restricted trafficking of YSIRK precursors to septal membranes. Here, we seek...
