ABSTRACT:
This invention provides isolated polynucleotides that encode the MurF (UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine-D-glutamate-m-DaD:D-alanine-D-alanine ligase) protein ofPseudomonas aeruginosa. Purified and isolated MurF recombinant proteins are also provided. Nucleic acid sequences which encode functionally active MurF proteins are described. Assays for the identification of modulators of the expression of murF and inhibitors of the activity of MurF, are also provided.
