Regulation of Surface Proteins Assembly on the Wall of Gram-Positive Bacteria
<p>Cell wall peptidoglycan-anchored surface proteins are essential virulence factors in many Gram-positive bacteria. Attachment of these proteins to the peptidoglycan is achieved through a transpeptidation reaction, whereby sortase cleaves a conserved Cterminal LPXTG motif and attaches the protein …
