Peptidoglycan D,D-transpeptidase MrdA

Also known as: JW0630, b0635, mrdA, pbpA

Function

Catalyzes cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall. Responsible for the determination of the rod shape of the cell. Is probably required for lateral peptidoglycan synthesis and maintenance of the correct diameter during lateral and centripetal growth.
