“…Thus, ShyA-depleted ∆6 endo cells not only incorporate PG, but do so to higher levels than the WT, possibly reflecting the lack of EP-initiated turnover processes. Similar observations have been made in autolysin-inactivated B. subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium (25,41,42). While we cannot rule out that residual ShyA remains in the cell following depletion (at levels too low to detect above background of the non-specific band we observed via Western Blot in the same size range as ShyA, Fig.…”

“…The prevalence and mechanisms associated with antibiotic resistance are better characterized, but the mechanisms of MDR gene transfer in the environment are less understood. It is important to continue studying antibiotic resistance gene transfer, so that innovative solutions to the current antibiotic resistance crisis can be found (Bush et al, 2011;Culp et al, 2020).…”

“…Corbomycin (Fig. 2a) is a Type V nonapeptide GPA discovered through phylogeny-guided genome mining 14 . While corbomycin shows clinical promise, it has a relatively low yield in the producing strain Streptomyces sp.…”

“…These challenges restrict the opportunities of securing GPAs for exploration as drug candidates 12,13 . While most GPAs target the D-Ala-D-Ala terminus of peptidoglycan, we recently established that a subgroup, termed Type V GPAs 12 , binds to the cell wall in a distinct manner 14 . Type V GPAs are characterized by a tryptophan (Trp) linked to the central 4-hydroxyphenylglycine (Hpg) and are not generally glycosylated.…”
