PBP2x is an essential transpeptidase in Streptococcus pneumoniae, critical for septal peptidoglycan synthesis during cell division. Recognition of nascent peptidoglycan at an allosteric site located in the PASTA domains of this enzyme predisposes penetration of peptidoglycan into the active site for turnover events.
