Peptidoglycan is a macromolecule that completely surrounds bacteria and protects them from osmotic pressure exerted by the cytoplasm. The β-lactams, the most commonly used antibiotics in therapy, inhibit D,D-transpeptidases belonging to the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) family that catalyze the final cross-linking step of peptidoglycan synthesis. L,D-transpeptidases (LDTs) such as YcbB, which are unrelated to PBPs, confer β-lactam resistance by functionally replacing PBPs and cross-linking the peptidoglycan in Escherichia coli mutants. This thesis investigates the YcbB-mediated β-lactam resistance mechanism. We show that the expansion of a YcbB cross-linked peptidoglycan requires the action of specific endopeptidases as well as the glyco...
