Pentaglycine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pentaglycine (Tetraglycylglycine; NSC 96353) is a bridging structure composed of five glycine residues. Pentaglycine serves as a characteristic peptidoglycan cross-bridge component of staphylococci and a specific substrate for lysostaphin. Pentaglycine maintains the integrity of the peptidoglycan cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus via peptide chain cross-linking and regulates bacterial growth. Pentaglycine expression is downregulated in high-glucose environments, inhibiting bacterial proliferation. Pentaglycine can be applied to studies related to Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Biological Activity
Pentaglycine (25 mM glucose; 24 h) is indicated to have reduced expression in Staphylococcus aureus Newman cells cultured in LB medium with 25 mM glucose, which exhibit significantly increased resistance to lysostaphin lysis[1].
Pentaglycine (15 mM glucose; 6 h) has decreased bridge synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus Newman cells cultured in LB medium with 15 mM glucose, as mRNA expression of femA, femB, and femX is significantly reduced[1].
Pentaglycine (25 mM glucose; 24 h) is indicated to have reduced expression in Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A and Staphylococcus haemolyticus SH01 cells cultured in LB medium with 25 mM glucose, which exhibit significantly increased resistance to lysostaphin lysis[1].
