Deficiency of D‐alanyl‐D‐alanine ligase A attenuated cell division and greatly altered the proteome of Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract D‐Alanyl‐D‐alanine ligase A (DdlA) catalyses the dimerization of two D‐alanines yielding D‐alanyl‐D‐alanine required for mycobacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and is a promising antimycobacterial drug target. To better understand the roles of DdlA in mycobacteria in vivo, we established...
