Proton-binding capacity of Staphylococcus aureus wall teichoic acid and its role in controlling autolysin activity.

Proton-binding capacity of Staphylococcus aureus wall teichoic acid and its role in controlling autolysin activity.

Wall teichoic acid (WTA) or related polyanionic cell wall glycopolymers are produced by most gram-positive bacterial species and have been implicated in various cellular functions. WTA and the proton gradient across bacterial membranes are known to control the activity of autolysins but the molecula...
