Phenotypes of a mutant
prevents bulging of the cells when grown at low Mg(2 ) concentrations, suppresses the lethal effect of a ''[[gene|mreB]]'' mutation [Pubmed|19192185]
deletion of ''ponA'' restores growth and normal shape of a ''[[gene|glmR]]'' mutant on gluconeogenic carbon sources [Pubmed|21320184]
prevents bulging of the cells when grown at low Mg2+ concentrations, suppresses the lethal effect of a [[gene|mreB]] mutation [Pubmed|19192185]
deletion of [[gene|ponA]] restores growth and normal shape of a [[gene|glmR]] mutant on gluconeogenic carbon sources [Pubmed|21320184]
a strain lacking all four class A [SW|penicillin-binding proteins] ([[gene|ponA]] [[gene|pbpD]] [[gene|pbpF]] [[gene|pbpG]]) is severely inhibited for L-form switching in the presence of D-cycloserine [pubmed|29456081]
The protein
[SW|Localization]
membrane associated [Pubmed|18763711]
localizes to the spore septum during sporulation [Pubmed|15758244,15262952]
localizes to the vegetative septum [Pubmed|15262952], this depends on [[protein|GlmR]] [Pubmed|21320184]
membrane associated [Pubmed|18763711]
anchored to the membrane, the major part is exposed to the outside (according to UniProt)
localizes to the spore septum during sporulation [Pubmed|15758244,15262952]
during vegetative growth: septal, low flourescence at periphery [pubmed|14731276]
localizes to the vegetative septum [Pubmed|15262952], this depends on [[protein|GlmR]] [Pubmed|21320184]

contributes to the control of cell diameter (cell diameter increases with PonA levels), acts antogonistically to the [SW|Rod complex] [pubmed|31086310]
