Viruses, 2019 Phage lytic enzymes are enzymes produced by bacterial viruses, either as part of their virion to facilitate bacterial infection through local peptidoglycan degradation, or as soluble proteins to induce massive cell lysis at the end of the lytic ...

Nanoparticles Influence Lytic Phage T4-like Performance In Vitro. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Little is known about interactions of non-filamentous, complex-structured lytic phages and free, non-ordered nanoparticles. Emerging questions about their possible bio-sanitization co-applications or predictions of possible contact effects in the environment require testing. Therefore, we revealed the influence of various nanoparticles (NPs; SiO2, TiO2-

PhaLP: A Database for the Study of Phage Lytic Proteins and Their Evolution
Viruses, 2021 Phage lytic proteins are a clinically advanced class of novel enzyme-based antibiotics, so-called enzybiotics. A growing community of researchers develops phage lytic proteins with the perspective of their use as enzybiotics.

The tripartite associations between bacteriophage, Wolbachia, and arthropods. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2006 By manipulating arthropod reproduction worldwide, the heritable endosymbiont Wolbachia has spread to pandemic levels. Little is known about the microbial basis of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) except that bacterial densities and percentages of ...

Characterization of newly isolated lytic bacteriophages active against Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2014 Based on genotyping and host range, two newly isolated lytic bacteriophages, myovirus vB_AbaM_Acibel004 and podovirus vB_AbaP_Acibel007, active against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains, were selected from a new phage library for further ...

pH-Dependent Lytic Peptides Discovered by Phage Display [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2006 Lipid membranes compartmentalize eukaryotic cells and separate the cell interior from the extracellular milieu. So far, studies of peptide and protein interactions with membranes have largely been limited to naturally occurring peptides or to sequences designed on the basis of structural information and biophysical parameters.

Phage lytic proteins: biotechnological applications beyond clinical antimicrobials [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2015 Most bacteriophages encode two types of cell wall lytic proteins: endolysins (lysins) and virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases. Both enzymes have the ability to degrade the peptidoglycan of Gram-positive bacteria resulting in cell lysis when they are applied externally. Bacteriophage lytic proteins have a demonstrated potential in treating animal
