Wall teichoic acids regulate peptidoglycan synthesis by paving cell wall microstructure

|
By Felix Barber, Zarina Akbary, Zhe Yuan, Jacob Biboy
| BioRxiv
Abstract The bacterial cell wall is a polymeric exoskeleton, composed largely of peptidoglycan, that determines cell size and shape. Two systems synthesize peptidoglycan during the growth of rod-shaped bacteria, which are found pervasively across diverse bacterial taxa: the multi-protein Rod complexes are critical for cell shape because they synthesize anisotropic peptidoglycan oriented along the cell circumference, whereas PBP1 synthesizes isotropic peptidoglycan (Fig. 1A).

Non-linear stress-softening of the bacterial cell wall confers cell shape homeostasis

Abstract The bacillus - or rod - is a pervasive cellular morphology among bacteria. Rod-shaped bacteria elongate without widening by reinforcing their cell wall anisotropically, along the cell's circumference, but it is unknown how cells adaptively tune anisotropy to homeostatically control cell width.
