SglPP7 Protein Disables MurJ Transporter to Disrupt Bacterial Cell Walls
Researchers in Japan have identified a specific mechanism by which bacteriophage proteins can disable a critical bacterial transporter, potentially offering a blueprint for a new generation of antibiotics. The study, published in PLOS Biology on October 27, 2026, details how a protein called SglPP7 interacts with MurJ, a protein that bacteria rely on to transport … Read more
