Penicillin-binding protein redundancy in

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) play critical roles in cell wall construction, cell shape, and bacterial replication. Bacteria maintain a diversity of PBPs, indicating that despite their apparent functional redundancy, there is differentiation across the PBP family. Seemingly redundant proteins can be important for enabling an organism to cope with environmental stressors. We sought to evaluate the consequence of environmental pH on PBP enzymatic activity in
