Characterization of the role of LtgB, a putative lytic transglycosylase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Microbiology, 2005
Neisseria gonorrhoeaereleases monomeric peptidoglycan (PG) fragments during growth. These PG fragments affect pathogenesis-related phenotypes including induction of inflammatory cytokines and killing of ciliated fallopian tube cells. Although the biological activities of these molecules have been established in multiple systems, the genes and gene ...

Subcellular Location of the Soluble Lytic Transglycosylase Homologue in Staphylococcus aureus

Current Microbiology, 2004
The immunodominant antigen A, IsaA, of Staphylococcus aureus was found to include a putative soluble lytic transglycosylase domain in its C-terminal region. Since the presence of this distinctive domain suggested that the protein might participate in peptidoglycan turnover, as indicated in Gram-negative bacteria, its cellular location was investigated.

Lytic transglycosylases

1996
Although cleaving the same glycosidic bond between MurNAc and GlcNAc in murein, lytic transglycosylases differ from lysozymes by catalyzing an intramolecular transglycosylation of the glycosyl-bond onto the C6 hydroxyl group of the muramic acid residue yielding 1.6-anhydromuramic acid-carrying products.
