• W3040287568 abstract "Abstract The bacterial cell wall is composed primarily of peptidoglycan (PG), a poly-aminosugar that is essential to sustain cell shape, growth and structural integrity. PG is synthesized by two different types of synthase complexes (class A Penicillin-binding Proteins [PBP]s/Lpos and Shape, Elongation, Division, Sporulation [SEDS]/class B PBP pairs) and degraded by ‘autolytic’ enzymes to accommodate growth processes. It is thought that autolsyin activity (and particulary the activity of endopeptidases, EPs) is required for PG synthesis and incorporation by creating gaps that are patched and paved by PG synthases, but the exact relationship between autolysins and the separate synthesis machineries remains incompletely understood. Here, we have probed the consequences of EP depletion for PG synthesis in the diarrheal pathogen Vibrio cholerae . We found that EP depletion resulted in severe morphological defects, increased cell mass, a decline in viability, and continuing (yet aberrant) incorporation of cell wall material. Mass increase and cell wall incorporation proceeded in the presence of Rod system inhibitors, but was abolished upon inhibition of aPBPs. However, the Rod system remained functional (i.e., exhibited sustained directed motion) even after prolonged EP depletion, without effectively promoting cell elongation. Lastly, heterologous expression of an EP from Neisseria gonorrhoeae could fully complement growth and morphology of an EP-insufficient V. cholerae . Overall, our findings suggest that in V. cholerae , the Rod system requires endopeptidase activity (but not necessarily direct interaction with EPs) to promote cell expansion and substantial PG incorporation, whereas aPBPs are able to engage in sacculus construction even during severe EP insufficiency. Importance Synthesis and turnover of the bacterial cell wall must be tightly co-ordinated to avoid structural integrity failure and cell death. Details of this coordination are poorly understood, particularly if and how cell wall turnover enzymes are required for the activity of the different cell wall synthesis machines. Our results suggest that in Vibrio cholerae , one class of turnover enzymes, the endopeptidases, are required only for substantial PG incorporation mediated by the Rod system, while the aPBPs maintain structural integrity during endopeptidase insufficiency. Our results suggest that aPBPs are more versatile than the Rod system in their ability to recognize cell wall gaps formed by autolysins other than the major endopeptidases, adding to our understanding of the co-ordination between autolysins and cell wall synthases. A detailed understanding of autolysin biology may promote the development of antibiotics that target these essential turnover processes." @default.
