Pneumococcal LytR Protein Is Required for the Surface Attachment of Both Capsular Polysaccharide and Teichoic Acids: Essential for Pneumococcal Virulence

The LytR-Cps-Psr family proteins are commonly present in Gram-positive bacteria, which have been shown to implicate in anchoring cell wall-related glycopolymers to the peptidoglycan. Here, we report the cellular function of SPD_1741 (LytR) in Streptococcus pneumoniae and its role in virulence of pne...
