Identification of penicillin-binding protein 5a of Bacillus megaterium KM as a DD-carboxypeptidase.
Todd JA., Ellar DJ.
Measurement of the stabilities of DD-carboxypeptidase activity and the penicillin-binding activity of proteins 5 and 5a in membranes isolated from vegetative cells and stage-V forespores suggests that the unique sporulation-specific protein 5a may be a penicillin-sensitive DD-carboxypeptidase.
