Fungal lysozyme leverages the gut microbiota to curb DSS-induced colitis
Gut Microbes, 2021 Colitis is characterized by colonic inflammation and impaired gut health. Both features aggravate obesity and insulin resistance. Host defense peptides (HDPs) are key regulators of gut homeostasis and generally malfunctioning in above-mentioned ...

Applications of Lysozyme, an Innate Immune Defense Factor, as an Alternative Antibiotic
Antibiotics, 2021 Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Pesticin displays muramidase activity [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1997 Pesticin of Yersinia pestis is the only bacteriocin that converts sensitive cells to stable spheroplasts. The amino acid sequence of pesticin as derived from the nucleotide sequence shows no similarity to those of any of the bacteriocins. The unique properties of pesticin prompted an investigation of its mode of action.

Resistance to mucosal lysozyme compensates for the fitness deficit of peptidoglycan modifications by Streptococcus pneumoniae. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 The abundance of lysozyme on mucosal surfaces suggests that successful colonizers must be able to evade its antimicrobial effects. Lysozyme has a muramidase activity that hydrolyzes bacterial peptidoglycan and a non-muramidase activity attributable to ...
