Crystal structure of the engineered endolysin mtEC340M

Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2023
Endolysins produced by bacteriophages play essential roles in the release of phage progeny by degrading the peptidoglycan layers of the bacterial cell wall. Bacteriophage-encoded endolysins have emerged as a new class of antibacterial agents to combat surging antibiotic resistance.

Bacteriophage endolysins: applications for food safety

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2016
Bacteriophage endolysins (peptidoglycan hydrolases) have emerged as a new class of antimicrobial agents useful for controlling bacterial infection or other unwanted contaminations in various fields, particularly in the light of the worldwide increasing frequency of drug-resistant pathogens.

The structure of DLP12 endolysin exhibiting alternate loop conformation and comparative analysis with other endolysins

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2017
AbstractThe lytic enzyme, endolysin, is encoded by bacteriophages (phages) to destroy the peptidoglycan layer of host bacterial cells. The release of phage progenies to start the new infection cycle is dependent on the cell lysis event. Endolysin encoded by DLP12 cryptic prophage is a SAR endolysin which is retained by the bacterium presumably due to ...

Bacteriophage-derived endolysins to target gram-negative bacteria

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2020
Bacteriophage-encoded endolysins (lysins) have emerged as a novel class of antibacterial agents to combat the surging antibiotic resistance. Lysins have specific structures and mechanisms to exert antibacterial effect against both Gram-positive (G+ve) and Gram-negative (G-ve) bacteria. However, its use against G-ve bacteria is limited because the outer

C‐terminal anchor endolysins—proposing a third class of tailed bacteriophage endolysins

FEBS Letters
Endolysins—enzymes produced by tailed bacteriophages to degrade bacterial cell walls—have traditionally been classified as canonical or signal‐anchor‐release (SAR) endolysins. However, analysis of expanding viral (meta)genomic data has revealed a third class, which we designate as C‐terminal anchor (CTA) endolysins.

Endopeptidase Activity of Phage λ-Endolysin

Nature New Biology, 1971
JACOB and Fuerst1,2 demonstrated the presence of a bacteriolytic enzyme (λ-endolysin) in the induced cultures of lysogenic Escherichia coli K12 (λ). The enzyme was later identified as the product of gene R; of phage λ3 which is involved in bacterial lysis at the end of a latent period. The enzyme is apt to form spheroplast-like structures in E.
