Existence of the bound form of prolipoprotein in Escherichia coli B cells treated with globomycin

J Bacteriol. 1979 Dec;140(3):1098-101. doi: 10.1128/jb.140.3.1098-1101.1979.

Abstract

A murein-bound form of prolipoprotein was found in the cell envelope fraction of globomycin-treated Escherichia coli B. We suggest therefore that proteolytic cleavage of prolipoprotein to mature lipoprotein is not essential for the transpeptidation of the lipoprotein to peptidoglycan.
