PGRP-LB minds the fort

Immunity
Stephen E Girardin, Dana J Philpott

Abstract

Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are a class of molecules that play a critical role in Drosophila immunity. In this issue of Immunity, Zaidman-Rémy et al. (2006) show that PGRP-LB controls systemic immune responses as well as homeostasis at the barrier surfaces.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
