Cell wall synthesis is intimately linked to the determination of cell shape. The proteins involved in both functions interact in the cell wall biosynthetic complex.

Genes in this functional category

Biosynthesis of peptidoglycan

Autolytic activity required for peptidoglycan synthesis (cell elongation)

Biosynthesis of lipoteichoic acid

Biosynthesis of teichoic acid

Biosynthesis of teichuronic acid

Penicillin-binding proteins

Export of anionic polymers and attachment to peptidoglycan

Biosynthesis of the carrier lipid undecaprenylphosphate
