The DamX cell division protein of Escherichia coli: identification of amino acid residues critical for septal localization and peptidoglycan binding

In the bacterium Escherichia coli, cell division involves the concerted inward growth of all three layers of the cell envelope: the cytoplasmic membrane, the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall, and the outer membrane. This is a complex, highly regulated process that involves over 20 proteins. Four of thes...
