- W2954346552 abstract "The ability to recover components of their own cell wall is a common feature of bacteria. This was initially recognized in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, which recycles about half of the peptidoglycan of its cell wall during one cell doubling. Moreover, E. coli was shown to grow on peptidoglycan components provided as nutrients. A distinguished recycling enzyme of E. coli required for both, recovery of the cell wall sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) of the own cell wall and for growth on external MurNAc, is the MurNAc 6-phosphate (MurNAc 6P) lactyl ether hydrolase MurQ. We revealed however, that most Gram-negative bacteria lack a murQ ortholog and instead harbor a pathway, absent in E. coli, that channels MurNAc directly to peptidoglycan biosynthesis. This “anabolic recycling pathway bypasses the initial steps of peptidoglycan de novo synthesis, including the target of the antibiotic fosfomycin, thus providing intrinsic resistance to the antibiotic. The Gram-negative oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia is auxotrophic for MurNAc and apparently depends on the anabolic recycling pathway to synthesize its own cell wall by scavenging cell wall debris of other bacteria. In contrast, Gram-positive bacteria lack the anabolic recycling genes, but mostly contain one or two murQ orthologs. Quantification of MurNAc 6P accumulation in murQ mutant cells by mass spectrometry allowed us to demonstrate for the first time that Gram-positive bacteria do recycle their own peptidoglycan. This had been questioned earlier, since peptidoglycan turnover products accumulate in the spent media of Gram-positives. We showed, that these fragments are recovered during nutrient limitation, which prolongs starvation survival of Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Peptidoglycan recycling in these bacteria however differs, as the cell wall is either cleaved exhaustively and monosaccharide building blocks are taken up (B. subtilis) or disaccharides are released and recycled involving a novel phosphomuramidase (MupG; S.aureus). In B. subtilis also the teichoic acids, covalently bound to the peptidoglycan (wall teichoic acids; WTAs), are recycled. During phosphate limitation, the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate phosphodiesterase GlpQ specifically degrades WTAs of B. subtilis. In S. aureus, in contrast, GlpQ is used to scavenge external teichoic acid sources. Thus, although bacteria generally recover their own cell wall, they apparently apply distinct strategies for breakdown and reutilization of cell wall fragments. This review summarizes our work on this topic funded between 2011 and 2019 by the DFG within the collaborative research center SFB766." @default.
