additional information generation of a deletion mutant of MSMEG_6281 encoding enzyme Ami1 in Mycobacterium smegmatis, phenotype, detailed overview. deletion of MSMEG_6281 encoding enzyme Ami1 in Mycobacterium smegmatis results in the formation of cellular chains, illustrative of cells that are unable to complete division. Ability of the ami1 defective mutant to continue cell division, albeit in an aberrant manner. Viability in the DELTAami1 mutant is maintained through atypical lateral branching, the products of which proceeded to form viable daughter cell. Deletion of ami1 leads to increased cell wall permeability and enhanced susceptiblity to cell wall targeting antibiotics. Lateral budding and ectopic polar growth in the DELTAami1 mutant is facilitated by mislocalization of the cell elongation machinery Mycolicibacterium smegmatis

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution Ami1 belongs to the amidase_3 domain family Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
malfunction deletion of MSMEG_6281 encoding enzyme Ami1 in Mycobacterium smegmatis results in the formation of cellular chains, illustrative of cells that are unable to complete division. Viability in the DELTAami1 mutant is maintained through atypical lateral branching, the products of which proceeded to form viable daughter cells. These lateral buds result from mislocalization of DivIVA, a major determinant in facilitating polar elongation in mycobacterial cells. Failure of DELTAami1 mutant cells to separate also leads to dysregulation of FtsZ ring bundling. Loss of Ami1 results in defects in septal peptidoglycan turnover with release of excess cell wall material from the septum or newly born cell poles. Signficant accumulation of 3-3 crosslinked muropeptides is observed in the DELTAami1 mutant. Deletion of ami1 leads to increased cell wall permeability and enhanced susceptiblity to cell wall targeting antibiotics. Lateral budding and ectopic polar growth in the DELTAami1 mutant is facilitated by mislocalization of the cell elongation machinery. Phenotype, detailed overview Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
additional information amino acids essential for amidase_3 domain catalytic activity of AmiA in Bacillus anthracis 4229 include H341, E355, H415 and E486 Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
physiological function Mycobacteria possess a multi-layered cell wall that requires extensive remodelling during cell division. The amidase_3 domain-containing N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase is a peptidoglycan remodelling enzyme. The enzyme is required for mycobacterial cell division. Peptidoglycan synthesis is localized to the cell poles and/or septum, a pattern, which is retained upon deletion of ami1 Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
