Bacterial cell wall synthesis: New insights from localization studies

Article Abstract:

The role of bacterial cytoskeletal proteins in organizing the cell wall synthesis process is discussed in light of what is known about polymer peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis from previous studies and data on localization of PG-synthesizing enzymes. The differences in the mode of division and sites for cell wall synthesis reflect some of the diversity existing in bacteria, a fundamental aspect of bacterial cell biology.

Lipid intermediates in the biosynthesis of bacterial peptidoglycan

Article Abstract:

The review is presented to critically evaluate the data concerning the lipid intermediates of the biosynthesis of bacterial peptidoglycan. The efforts made since 2000 in the study of the glycosyltransferases catalyzing the glycan chain formation with lipid II or analogues are analyzed in detail.

Function, structure, and evolution of the RubisCO-like proteins and their RubisCO homologs

Article Abstract:

RubisCO-like protein (RLP) is evolved to catalyze reactions that are important for sulfur metabolism. RLP in some organisms catalyzes a key reaction of a methionine salvage pathway and it also plays a role in oxidative thiosulfate metabolism.
