Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs), glycolipids and, less wide-spread, teichoic acids (TAs) are
characteristic components of the cell wall-membrane complex in a large group of gram …

Staphylococci and most other Gram-positive bacteria incorporate complex teichoic acid (TA)
polymers into their cell envelopes. Several crucial roles in Staphylococcus aureus fitness …

Although LTA were discovered ten years ago [l] and a variety of biological functions has
since been ascribed to them [2-4], native polymers that retain their alanine ester substitution …

In Staphylococcus aureus RN4220, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is anchored in the membrane by
a diglucosyldiacylglycerol moiety. The gene (ypfP) which encodes diglucosyldiacylglycerol …

Pulse‐chase experiments with [2‐3H] glycerol and [14C] acetate revealed that in
Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid biosynthesis plays a dominant role in membrane …

Staphylococcus aureus synthesizes polyglycerol-phosphate lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from
phosphatidylglycerol. LtaS, a predicted membrane protein with 5 N-terminal transmembrane …

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) are membrane-anchored molecules in the cell envelopes of Gram-
positive bacteria. Until recently, they were considered to be restricted to the Firmicutes …

The lipoteichoic acid in Staphylococcus aureus growing at high pH values contained very
little alanine ester, showing that high overall levels of substitution were not essential for …

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) are commonly referred to as membrane-associated polymers
characteristic of gram-posi-tive bacteria, just as lipopolysaccharides are believed to be …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is one of two anionic polymers on the surface of the gram-positive
bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. LTA is critical for the bacterium-host cell interaction and …
