… Recent studies have yielded a growing picture of the biosynthetic pathways for the cell
wall-anchored wall teichoic acid (WTA) and the membrane-anchored lipoteichoic acid (LTA) in …

… Here, we show that controlling the length of an essential cell envelope polymer, lipoteichoic
acid, is critical for controlling S. aureus cell size and cell envelope integrity. We also show …

… polysaccharides, and extracellular proteins[2–… teichoic acid (WTA) is covalently anchored
to the MurN AC residue of peptidoglycan via a phosphodiester bond, whereas lipoteichoic acid …

… Their cell walls are composed of a thick layer of peptidoglycan (PG) modified by the attachment
of wall teichoic acid (WTA), an anionic glycopolymer that is linked to pathogenicity and …

… lipoteichoic acids or lipoglycans, whose functions and biosynthesis are not yet fully understood.
We report for the first time a detailed structure of lipoteichoic acid … amino-acid substituent. …

… Interestingly, wall teichoic acid biosynthetic proteins are encoded by … interactions in wall
teichoic acid synthesis has enabled the … compounds that block wall teichoic acid biogenesis in S. …

… We propose that TacL is a lipoteichoic acid ligase acting in the final step of pnLTA synthesis
(Fig. 6). Our data are not consistent with the previously hypothesized role of SPD_1672 and …

… In this work, we discover that a family of membrane proteins named CozE is involved in the
biosynthesis of lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) in S. aureus. CozE proteins have previously been …

… protein 4 (PBP4) is required for the synthesis of this highly cross-linked peptidoglycan. We
found that wall teichoic acids, … , but in the absence of wall teichoic acids synthesis, it becomes …

… , lipoteichoic acids, polar lipids, peptidoglycans and proteins. We discuss their involvement
in direct signaling to the host cells and their described immunomodulatory effects. …
