| Abstract: | Two papers in this issue of Cell (Paradis-Bleau et?al., 2010 and Typas et?al., 2010) report that the lipoproteins LpoA and LpoB are required for the synthesis of cell walls in Escherichia coli. Attached to the bacterial outer membrane, these new cell wall components regulate penicillin-binding proteins located at the inner membrane. |
