Probing the mechanism of peptidoglycan amidase activation by FtsEX-EnvC
The FtsEX-EnvC-AmiA/B system is a key component of the E. coli cell division machinery that directs breakage of the peptidoglycan layer during separation of daughter cells. Structural and mechanistic ...
New preprint!
FtsEX-EnvC is a Type VII ABC transporter that activates the periplasmic enzymes needed to break the peptidoglycan layer during cell division.
We tested the importance of structural features underpinning activation and the auto-inhibition mechanism that keeps it all in check.

Does anyone have a list of glycobiologists and/or biochemists, structural biologists on Bluesky? Need to make more of an effort to move here properly.
