Penicillin‐binding proteins in the cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa, a eukaryotic photoautotroph sensitive to β‐lactam antibiotics

[摘要]

Cyanophora paradoxa is a eukaryotic protist sensitive to β-lactam antibiotics, most likely as a consequence of the binding of the drugs to a set of 7 proteins, analogous to eubacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), located in the envelope of the C. paradoxa photosynthetic organelles, the cyanelles.
