Bacterial peptidoglycan (murein) hydrolases.
Most bacteria have multiple peptidoglycan hydrolases capable of cleaving covalent bonds in peptidoglycan sacculi or its fragments. An overview of the different classes of peptidoglycan hydrolases and their cleavage sites is provided. The physiological functions of these enzymes include the regulation of cell wall growth, the turnover of peptidoglycan during growth, the separation of daughter ce...
متن کاملHelical insertion of peptidoglycan produces chiral ordering of the bacterial cell wall.
The regulation of cell shape is a common challenge faced by organisms across all biological kingdoms. In nearly all bacteria, cell shape is determined by the architecture of the peptidoglycan cell wall, a macromolecule consisting of glycan strands crosslinked by peptides. In addition to shape, cell growth must also maintain the wall structural integrity to prevent lysis due to large turgor pres...
متن کاملBacterial peptidoglycan enhances sickness behaviour induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide
Background Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan are microbial products recognized by Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) and NOD2, respectively. LPS has been found to cause behavioural alterations indicative of sickness and depressed mood. The effect of peptidoglycan on exploratory and affective behaviour has not yet been explored, although i...
متن کاملLipid Flippases for Bacterial Peptidoglycan Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of cellular polysaccharides and glycoconjugates often involves lipid-linked intermediates that need to be translocated across membranes. Essential pathways such as N-glycosylation in eukaryotes and biogenesis of the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall in bacteria share a common strategy where nucleotide-sugars are used to build a membrane-bound oligosaccharide precursor that is linked...
متن کاملBacterial Peptidoglycan Stimulates Adipocyte Lipolysis via NOD1
Obesity is associated with inflammation that can drive metabolic defects such as hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Specific metabolites can contribute to inflammation, but nutrient intake and obesity are also associated with altered bacterial load in metabolic tissues (i.e. metabolic endotoxemia). These bacterial cues can contribute to obesity-induced inflammation. The specific bacterial c...
