Viruses, 2020 Staphylococcal bacteriophages of the Kayvirus genus are candidates for therapeutic applications. One of their proteins, Tgl, is slightly similar to two staphylococcal virulence factors, secreted autolysins of lytic transglycosylase motifs IsaA and SceD ...

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.

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

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 ...

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Inhibition of membrane‐bound lytic transglycosylase B by NAG‐thiazoline
FEBS Letters, 2004 The lytic transglycosylases cleave the bacterial cell wall heteropolymer peptidoglycan with the same specificity as the muramidases (lysozymes), between the N‐acetylmuramic acid and N‐acetylglucosamine residues, with the concomitant formation of a 1,6‐anhydromuramoyl residue.
