    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • prevents bulging of the cells when grown at low Mg2+ concentrations, suppresses the lethal effect of a [gene|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|mreB] mutation [Pubmed|19192185]

  • a strain lacking all four class A [SW|penicillin-binding proteins] ([gene|A8EEC896B279CFDDE9C3A6F146A04EC822E33A4F|ponA] [gene|E50D4B30C2A0987A356C988AF8A4951C0CDF6C06|pbpD] [gene|73275060537497E6A9859856C9F040763E36316B|pbpF] [gene|BDC2D775CCE7C06F5619BAC214F29CFC637FE804|pbpG]) is severely inhibited for L-form switching in the presence of D-cycloserine [pubmed|29456081]

  • Preferential cleavage: (Ac)(2)-L-Lys-D-Ala-|-D-Ala. Also transpeptidation of peptidyl-alanyl moieties that are N-acyl substituents of D-alanine (according to UniProt)
  • contributes to the control of cell diameter (cell diameter increases with PonA levels), acts antogonistically to the [SW|Rod complex] [pubmed|31086310]
  • Protein family

  • N-terminal part: [SW|glycosyltransferase 51 family] (according to UniProt)

  • localizes to the vegetative septum [Pubmed|15262952], this depends on [protein|7150BABA5086D5E2EB8102E4901A216F43576282|GlmR] [Pubmed|21320184]
