CcmG
CcmG is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. The gene is found in various bacterial species and is integral to the modification and maintenance of peptidoglycan, a vital component of bacterial cell walls. The enzyme produced by CcmG functions primarily as a periplasmic chaperone or amidase, facilitating the proper folding and maturation of cell wall components, which is essential for bacterial growth and cell division.
In particular, CcmG has been studied in gram-negative bacteria, where it plays a role in the assembly
Research into CcmG and its homologs contributes to a broader understanding of bacterial cell wall synthesis
CcmG's structure and specific mechanisms of action vary among bacterial species, but its conserved role in
