Article Synopsis
- Peptidoglycan (PG) sacculi protect cells by maintaining their shape and stability against pressure, with enzymes called endopeptidases helping to modify the structure during growth.
- The adaptor protein NlpI interacts with the endopeptidase MepS, facilitating the organization and enhanced activity of MepS in breaking down PG.
- Additionally, the complex formation between NlpI, MepS, and the protease Prc indicates that NlpI not only enhances MepS activity but also aids in its degradation, showing a crucial regulatory mechanism in PG synthesis and turnover.
