Evolution of Stomach Lysozyme: The Pig Lysozyme Gene

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 1996
The acquisition of an efficient stomach lysozyme is associated with the success of the ruminants. Advanced ruminants, such as cow, sheep, and deer, have approximately 10 lysozyme genes, some of which are expressed and function in the stomach and some which are expressed and function in nonstomach tissues (e.g., trachea or kidney).

Lysozyme as a transferase

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1967
Abstract Our first investigations of the action of lysozyme on tetrasaccharides isolated from chitin showed that lysozyme, like many other known glycosides, is a transferase. Under certain conditions (oligosaccharide concentration 1 to 2%, the enzyme concentration 0.5%) the synthetic process may yield an insoluble chitin-like product.

Lysozyme Substrates

1996
The natural substrate of lysozyme is the rigid layer of bacterial cell walls, the murein (peptidoglycan), which is a gigantic polymer of (GlcNAc-MurNAc)n polysaccharide strands crosslinked through short peptide bridges at the lactyl groups of the muramic acid residues.

Engineering of lysozyme

1996
As the most extensively investigated model protein, the protein engineering of lysozyme is described. By utilizing modifications made possible by chemical or gene engineering methods, we can get a better understanding of protein behaviour and we can also improve their properties.

Lysozyme revisited

Structure
Lysozyme is a model system for crystallographers. In this issue of Structure, Ramos et al. report atomic resolution neutron structures of lysozyme, which unambiguously show the protonation states and hydrogen-bonding networks of the active site. This resolves mechanistic questions that have been debated for decades and provides a unique view to a ...

Phage lysozymes

1996
Bacteriophage genomes encode lysozymes whose role is to favour the release of virions by lysis of the host cells or to facilitate infection. In this review, the evolutionary relationships between the phage lysozymes are described. They are grouped into several classes: the V-, the G-, the lambda- and the CH-type lysozymes.

Insect lysozymes

1996
Lysozymes, related to the chicken-type lysozymes in vertebrates, are ubiquitous components in the bacteriolytic armamentarium of insects. The enzyme is normally present in the blood, and together with other bactericidal factors lysozyme is often strongly induced when the insect is infected.

Bacterial lysozymes

1996
Lysozymes are found in many bacteria that are surrounded by a murein-(peptidoglycan) containing cell wall. Their physiological function for the bacteria is still a matter of debate. On the one hand they can autolyse the cell, on the other hand they may have an essential role during enlargement and division of the cell wall by the controlled splitting ...

Folding of lysozyme

1996
Due to the detailed knowledge of the three-dimensional structure, chemistry and catalytic mechanism of hen egg white lysozyme, this enzyme has become a major model for the analysis of the folding pathway of globular proteins. Unfolding and folding of lysozyme are reversible processes.
