The cell wall envelope of gram-positive bacteria is a macromolecular, exoskeletal organelle
that is assembled and turned over at designated sites. The cell wall also functions as a …

Bacterial lipoproteins are a set of membrane proteins with many different functions. Due to
this broad-ranging functionality, these proteins have a considerable significance in many …

The peptide, MKATKLVLGAVILGSTLLAGCSSN, corresponding to the N-terminal 24 amino
acids of Braun's prolipoprotein, was used to study the lipid modification of prolipoprotein in …

The thylakoid membranes of photosynthetic organisms, which are the sites of oxygenic
photosynthesis, are composed of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) …

Toll-like receptors and other immune-signaling pathways play important roles as sensors of
bacterial pattern molecules, such as peptidoglycan, lipoprotein, or teichoic acid, triggering …

ABSTRACT A lipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase (lgt) deletion mutant of Staphylococcus
aureus SA113 was constructed. The lipoprotein and prelipoprotein expression, the growth …

Posttranslational modification of proteins by lipidation is a common process in biological
systems. Lipids provide protein stability, interaction with other membrane components, and …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the lipoproteins, structure, function, biosynthesis,
and model for protein export. Murein lipoprotein of Escherichia coli was, apart from the basic …

Some synthetic lipopeptides, in addition to native lipoproteins derived from both Gram-
negative bacteria and mycoplasmas, are known to activate TLR2 (Toll-like receptor 2) …

We present edition VIII of the genetic map of Salmonella typhimurium LT2. We list a total of
1,159 genes, 1,080 of which have been located on the circular chromosome and 29 of which …
