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

open access: yes, 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).

A g-Type Lysozyme from Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Shrimp Kills Selectively Gram-Negative Bacteria

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Lysozyme is a key effector molecule of the innate immune system in both vertebrate and invertebrate. It is classified into six types, one of which is the goose-type (g-type). To date, no study on g-type lysozyme in crustacean has been documented.

Differentiation of Muramidase and  -Lysin

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1966
SummaryAlthough β-lysin and muramidase are similar in their bacterial spectrum, heat stability, and adsorption by bentonite on an asbestos-cellulose filter pad of the Seitz type, they differ in other respects. β-lysin is relatively more effective as a bactericidal agent for Bacillus subtilis than for Micrococ-cus lysodeikticus.

Mutant p53R273H disrupts PDPK1 homodimerization and contributes to PDPK1 activation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
How mutant p53R273H drives AKT signaling is unclear. We show that p53R273H, but not wild‐type, directly binds PDPK1 via a mutation‐dependent conformational change. This interaction disrupts inhibitory PDPK1 homodimerization and enhances AKT phosphorylation.

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Mycobacteriophage endolysins: diverse and modular enzymes with multiple catalytic activities. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Effet de la supplémentation d'une nouvelle muramidase sur les performances de croissance des porcelets en post-sevrage

open access: yes, 2022
International audienceExogenous enzymes are widely used in monogastric feed to increase the digestibility of raw material constituents, but little is done targeting the nutrient pool made up of intestinal bacterial cell wall debris.

Identification of a gene (arpU) controlling muramidase-2 export in Enterococcus hirae

open access: yes, 1995
Muramidase-2 of Enterococcus hirae is a 74-kDa peptidoglycan hydrolase that plays a role in cell wall growth and division. To study its regulation, we isolated a mutant defective in muramidase-2 release under certain growth conditions.
