The PECACE domain: a new family of enzymes with potential peptidoglycan cleavage activity in Gram-positive bacteria

BACKGROUND: The metabolism of bacterial peptidoglycan is a dynamic process, synthases and cleavage enzymes are functionally coordinated. Lytic Transglycosylase enzymes (LT) are part of multienzyme complexes which regulate bacterial division and elongation. LTs are also involved in peptidoglycan turn...
