Using X-ray crystallography, the research team led by Dr. Chung-I Chang of the Institute of Biological Chemistry has revealed the three-dimensional structure of a protease system involved in cell-wall remodeling, which is tightly coupled to bacterial cell growth and division. The new structural study, published online on November 15 in Nature Communications, demonstrates how a lipoprotein adaptor and a protease form a three-sided docking cradle to mediate protein degradation in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.
