Function
PBPC_BACSU Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis (Probable). Probably required for both cortical and vegetative peptidoglycan synthesis (Probable). Although not usually required for cell division, in the absence of PBP 2B (pbpB) it becomes essential. Confers resistance to oxacillin and cephalexin (PubMed:28792086).[1] [2]
