Structural insights into peptidoglycan hydrolysis by the FtsEX system in <i>Escherichia coli</i> during cell division
Bacterial cell division relies on precise peptidoglycan (PG) remodeling, a process orchestrated by the FtsEX complex. Comprised of FtsE and FtsX, this complex collaborates with EnvC, a periplasmic lytic enzyme activator, to regulate septal PG hydrolysis by amidases like AmiB. While recent structural investigations, particularly of Pseudomonas aeruginosa FtsEX ( Pae FtsEX), have shed light on…
