abstract：:The Escherichia coli low molecular mass penicillin-binding proteins (PBP4, PBP5 and PBP6) are a group of penicillin-sensitive enzymes involved in the final stages of cell wall assembly. It has been suggested that these proteins may interact with the periplasmic face of the inner membrane via C-terminal amphiphilic alp...

abstract：:Glycogen was described as a temporal storage molecule in rhodococci, interconnecting lipids and carbon availability. The Rhodococcus jostii ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-GlcPPase) kinetic and regulatory properties support this role. Curiously, the enzyme uses glucosamine-1P as alternative substrate. Herein, we re...
