Structural basis of denuded glycan recognition by SPOR domains in bacterial cell division

Structural basis of denuded glycan recognition by SPOR domains in bacterial cell division

SPOR domains are present in bacterial proteins that recognize cell-wall peptidoglycan strands stripped of the peptide stems. Here, Alcorlo et al. show that, indeed, the presence of peptide stems abrogates binding to a SPOR domain, and provide insights into the molecular basis for recognition.
