Cell wall synthesis in bacteria is determine by two protein complexes: the elongasome and divisome. The elongasome is coordinated by the actin homolog MreB while the divisome is organized by the tubulin homolog FtsZ. While these two systems must coordinate with each other to ensure that elongation and division are coregulated, this cross talk has been understudied. Using the MreB depolymerizing agent, A22, we found that multiple gene deletions result in cells exhibiting increased sensitivity to MreB depolymerization. One of those genes encodes for EnvC, a part of the divisome that is responsible for splitting daughter cells after the completion of cytokinesis through the activation of specific amidases. Here we show this increased sensitivity to A22 works through two known amidase targets of EnvC: AmiA and AmiB. In addition, suppressor analysis revealed that mutations in enzyme 1 of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) can suppress the effects of A22 in both wild-type and envC deletion cells. Together this work helps to link elongation, division, and metabolism. ΔenvC cells are more sensitive to the MreB targeting antibiotic A22. Suppressor analysis revealed that deletion of enzyme 1 (ptsI) of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system is able to suppress the growth defects caused by A22 treatment in both wild-type and ΔenvC cells. Furthermore, deletion of ptsI results in a small cell phenotype in both backgrounds. Bacterial cell shape is determined by its cell wall. The cell wall is built using two systems: the elongasome, coordinated by MreB and divisome, coordinated by FtsZ. These two systems must coordinate with each other to maintain cell integrity. Here we show that deletion of a divisome protein, EnvC, results in elongated and chained cells that are more sensitive to the MreB depolymerizing drug A22. This sensitivity works through the targets of EnvC: AmiA and AmiB. We found that deletion of enzyme 1 of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system is able to reduce both cell size and A22 sensitivity in an envC deletion.
