Disease relevance of dacB

Penicillin-binding protein 4 of Escherichia coli: molecular cloning of the dacB gene, controlled overexpression, and alterations in murein composition [1].

High impact information on dacB

Crystal structure of penicillin binding protein 4 (dacB) from Escherichia coli, both in the native form and covalently linked to various antibiotics [2].
The nucleotide sequence of a 1884 bp DNA fragment of E. coli, carrying the gene dacB, was determined [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of dacB

Southern blotting analysis using the cloned dacB gene as a probe revealed that, in contrast to that described by Takeda et al [1].
