Structure of the stationary phase survival protein YuiC from B.subtilis [PDF]

, 2015
- Background: Stationary phase survival proteins (Sps) were found in Firmicutes as having analogous domain compositions, and in some cases genome context, as the resuscitation promoting factors of Actinobacteria, but with a different putative ...

BB0259 Encompasses a Peptidoglycan Lytic Enzyme Function for Proper Assembly of Periplasmic Flagella in Borrelia burgdorferi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Assembly of the bacterial flagellar rod, hook, and filament requires penetration through the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus and outer membrane. In most β- and γ-proteobacteria, the protein FlgJ has two functional domains that enable PG hydrolyzing activity ...

Lytic transglycosylase Slt of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a periplasmic hub protein. [PDF]

Protein Sci
AbstractPeptidoglycan is a major constituent of the bacterial cell wall. Its integrity as a polymeric edifice is critical for bacterial survival and, as such, it is a preeminent target for antibiotics. The peptidoglycan is a dynamic crosslinked polymer that undergoes constant biosynthesis and turnover.

Resuscitation-promoting factors possess a lysozyme-like domain [PDF]

, 2004
The novel bacterial cytokine family – resuscitation-promoting factors (Rpfs) – share a conserved domain of uncharacterized function. Predicting the structure of this domain suggests that Rpfs possess a lysozyme-like domain.

Identification of a new family of enzymes with potential -acetylpeptidoglycan esterase activity in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2005
Background The metabolism of the rigid bacterial cell wall heteropolymer peptidoglycan is a dynamic process requiring continuous biosynthesis and maintenance involving the coordination of both lytic and synthetic enzymes.

The mechanistic landscape of Lytic transglycosylase as targets for antibacterial therapy

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2022
Lytic transglycosylases (Ltgs) are glycan strand cleaving enzymes whose role is poorly understood in the genesis of the bacterial envelope. They play multiple roles in all stages of a bacterial life cycle, by creating holes in the peptidoglycan that is necessary for cell division and separation.

Regulation of biofilm formation in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 [PDF]

, 2011
Bacteria have the ability to grow in cell communities designated biofilms. This mode of growth is widespread and offers numerous advantages to the bacteria in terms of survival, persistence and propagation.

Differential epitope recognition in the immunodominant staphylococcal antigen A of Staphylococcus aureus by mouse versus human IgG antibodies [PDF]

, 2017
The immunodominant staphylococcal antigen A (IsaA) is a potential target for active or passive immunization against the important human pathogen _Staphylococcus aureus_.

Pseudomonas syringae lytic transglycosylase HrpH interacts with host ubiquitin ligase ATL2 to modulate plant immunity

Cell Reports
Summary: Pseudomonas syringae deploys a type III secretion system (T3SS) to deliver effector proteins to facilitate infection of plant cells; however, little is known about the direct interactions between T3SS components and plants.

Deletion of Lytic Transglycosylases Increases Beta-Lactam Resistance in Shewanella oneidensis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Production of chromosome-encoded β-lactamases confers resistance to β-lactams in many Gram-negative bacteria. Some inducible β-lactamases, especially the class C β-lactamase AmpC in Enterobacteriaceae, share a common regulatory mechanism, the ampR-ampC paradigm.
