The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]

, 2005
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even

Small Things Matter: The 11.6-kDa TraB Protein is Crucial for Antibiotic Resistance Transfer Among Enterococci

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Conjugative transfer is the most important means for spreading antibiotic resistance genes. It is used by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and archaea as well.

Solitons and Collapse in the lambda-repressor protein [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 86, 021923 (2012), 2012
The enterobacteria lambda phage is a paradigm temperate bacteriophage. Its lysogenic and lytic life cycles echo competition between the DNA binding $\lambda$-repressor (CI) and CRO proteins. Here we scrutinize the structure, stability and folding pathways of the $\lambda$-repressor protein, that controls the transition from the lysogenic to the lytic ...

Identification of a membrane-bound prepore species clarifies the lytic mechanism of actinoporins [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016, 2016
Pore-forming toxins (PFT) are cytolytic proteins belonging to the molecular warfare apparatus of living organisms. The assembly of the functional transmembrane pore requires several intermediate steps ranging from a water-soluble monomeric species to the multimeric ensemble inserted in the cell membrane.

Bacillus subtilis Cw1Q (previous YjbJ) is a bifunctional enzyme exhibiting muramidase and soluble-lytic transglycosylase activities [PDF]

, 2010
CwIQ (previous YjbJ) is one of the putative cell wall hydrolases in Bacillus subtilis. Its domain has an amino acid sequence similar to the soluble-lytic transglycosylase (SLT) of Escherichia coli Slt70 and also goose lysozyme (muramidase).

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).

Molecular aspects and comparative genomics of bacteriophage endolysins [PDF]

Phages are recognized as the most abundant and diverse entities on the planet. Their diversity is predominantly determined by their dynamic adaptation capacities, when confronted with different selective pressures in an endless cycle of co-evolution with

Control of the activity of the soluble lytic transglycosylase by the stringent response in Escherichia coli [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990
The soluble lytic transglycosylase (Slt) of Escherichia coli is known to be a powerful murein hydrolase in vitro. It is shown here to act as an autolysin in vivo as well. Rapid autolysis of Slt overproducing cells was induced by protein biosynthesis inhibitors, which also block the fomration of guanosine-5'-diphosphate-3'-diphosphate (ppGpp).

Bactericidal effect of nanostructures via lytic transglycosylases of Escherichia coli

RSC Advances, 2022
The time profiles of active cell ratios depended on the growth phase and the absence of some lytic transglycosylases of E. coli. Significant cell damage was not found on the autolysis inhibition condition.

An atypical orphan carbohydrate-NRPS genomic island encodes a novel lytic transglycosylase. [PDF]

Chem Biol, 2014
Microbial genome sequencing platforms have produced a deluge of orphan biosynthetic pathways suspected of biosynthesizing new small molecules with pharmacological relevance. Genome synteny analysis provides an assessment of genomic island content, which is enriched in natural product gene clusters.
