Model for the function of lytic transglycosylases in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Lytic transglycosylases LtgA and LtgD are responsible for production and release of the toxic PG monomers. LtgC may make a small contribution to PG monomer production. LtgC acts along with AmiC to split the septum after division thus facilitating cell separation. AtlA is required for type IV secretion and may act to create a localized break in the cell wall to allow assembly of the type IV secretion system.
