A Lysine Cluster in Domain II of Bacillus subtilis PBP4a Plays a Role in the Membrane Attachment of This C1-PBP.

In PBP4a, a Bacillus subtilis class-C1 penicillin-binding protein (PBP), four clustered lysine (K) residues, K86, K114, K119, and K265, protrude from domain II. Replacement of these amino acids with glutamine (Q) residues by site-directed mutagenesis yielded Mut4KQ PBP4a. When produced in Escherichi...
