Purification and properties of a membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase from Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1994 A membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase (Mlt) has been solubilized in the presence of 2% Triton X-100 containing 0.5 M NaCl from membranes of an Escherichia coli mutant that carries a deletion in the slt gene coding for a 70-kDa soluble lytic transglycosylase (Slt70).

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial‐resistant foodborne pathogens poses a continuous health risk and economic burden as they can easily spread through contaminated food. Therefore, the demand for new antimicrobial agents to address this problem is steadily increasing.

Mycobacteriophage endolysins: diverse and modular enzymes with multiple catalytic activities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The mycobacterial cell wall presents significant challenges to mycobacteriophages--viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts--because of its unusual structure containing a mycolic acid-rich mycobacterial outer membrane attached to an arabinogalactan layer ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT The evolving threat of new pathogen variants in the face of global environmental changes poses a risk to a sustainable crop production. Predicting and responding to how climate change affects plant‐pathosystems is challenging, as environment affects host–pathogen interactions from molecular to the community level, and with eco‐evolutionary ...

Interaction and modulation of two antagonistic cell wall enzymes of mycobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Bacterial cell growth and division require coordinated cell wall hydrolysis and synthesis, allowing for the removal and expansion of cell wall material. Without proper coordination, unchecked hydrolysis can result in cell lysis.

Modulation of the lytic apparatus by the FtsEX complex within the bacterial division machinery
FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 23, Page 2836-2851, December 2024.Conformational changes involved in the mechano‐transmission activation of the lytic machinery by FtsEX. This model is based on the Gram‐negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting the EnvC protein that facilitates the activation of the lytic enzyme AmiB during cell division.

Reactions of All Escherichia coli Lytic Transglycosylases with Bacterial Cell Wall [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013 The reactions of all seven Escherichia coli lytic transglycosylases with purified bacterial sacculus are characterized in a quantitative manner. These reactions, which initiate recycling of the bacterial cell wall, exhibit significant redundancy in the activities of these enzymes along with some complementarity.
