Biosynthesis of the Peptidoglycan of Bacterial Cell Walls
Open accessAbstract
Abstract A particulate enzyme system from strains of Escherichia coli is described which catalyzes the utilization of the uridine nucleotides, UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-l-Ala d-Glu-α, e-diaminopimelyl-d-Ala-d-Ala and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, for peptidoglycan synthesis. Unlike the systems previously studied in gram-positive cocci, this particulate enzyme catalyzes the terminal cross-linking reaction in cell wall synthesis, a transpeptidation in which a d-alanine residue is lost from the end of one of the N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide residues incorporated into the product. The d-alanine residue is also lost from the end of the second unit involved in the cross-linking, apparently through the action of a d-alanine carboxypeptidase. Both the transpeptidase and the d-alanine carboxypeptidase are inhibited by various penicillins and cephalosporins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
