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 ...

Surface charge of the C-terminal helix is crucial for antibacterial activity of endolysin against Gram-negative bacteria

Journal of Biomedical Sciences
Endolysins are promising alternatives to antibiotics because they can lyse bacterial cells rapidly with a low risk of resistance development, however, their effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria is hindered by the presence of the outer membrane ...

Activity of GS-linked chimeric endolysin CHAPk-SH3bk against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilms: an in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo study

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
The evolution of antibiotic resistance and the propensity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to form biofilms impedes antibiotic therapy, which enkindles the rummage for novel therapeutic agents like bacteriophage endolysins.
