The GTPase CpgA is implicated in the deposition of the peptidoglycan sacculus in Bacillus subtilis.
Résumé
Depletion of the Bacillus subtilis GTPase CpgA produces abnormal cell shapes, nonuniform deposition of cell wall, and five- to sixfold accumulation of peptidoglycan precursors. Nevertheless, the inherent structure of the cell wall appeared mostly unchanged. The results are consistent with CpgA being involved in coordinating normal peptidoglycan deposition.
