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[1][2].
