Targeting the Achilles' heel of bacteria: different mechanisms to break down the peptidoglycan cell wall during bacterial warfare.

abstract：:The vir-type IV secretion system of Agrobacterium is assembled from 12 proteins encoded by the virB operon and virD4. VirB1 is one of the least-studied proteins encoded by the virB operon. Its N terminus is a lytic transglycosylase. The C-terminal third of the protein, VirB1*, is cleaved from VirB1 and secreted to the...
