Escherichia coli has robust regulatory mechanisms against elevated peptidoglycan cleavage by lytic transglycosylases

Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential and conserved exoskeletal component in all bacteria that protects cells from lysis. Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli encode multiple redundant lytic transglycosylases (LTs) that engage in PG cleavage, a potentially lethal activity requiring proper re...
