• Novel Staphylococcal Glycosyltransferases SdgA and SdgB Mediate Immunogenicity and Protection of Virulence-Associated Cell Wall Proteins (2013, neutral): “As many as 21 proteins are attached to the cell wall by the sortase A enzyme [9].”
• Staphylococcal biofilms (2018, background): “Covalent attachment is catalyzed by a family of enzymes called sortases that link a conserved motif of the MSCRAMMS to peptidoglycan (Marraffini et al. 2006).”
• The bacterial cell envelope. (2010, background): “The protein-modified peptidoglycan precursor is then incorporated into peptidoglycan (Dramsi et al. 2008; Marraffini et al. 2006).”
