N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase (NAMLAA) hydrolyzes bacterial peptidoglycan and is present in human serum. A peptidoglycan-recognition protein 2 (PGLYRP2) is expressed in human liver and has N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase activity. Here, we determined the amino acid sequences of human serum NAMLAA and liver PGLYRP2 and tested the hypothesis that

The bacterial cell wall heteropolymer peptidoglycan is not a static structure as it is constantly being made and recycled throughout the bacterium's life cycle. This turnover of peptidoglycan is a highly coordinated event involving a complement of autolytic enzymes that include those with specificity for either the carbohydrate or the peptide linkages ...

Modulation of Escherichia coliN-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase activity by phosphatidylglycerol
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1985The activity of pure Escherichia coli murein (peptidoglycan) amidase (N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase, EC 3.5.1.28) was measured after preincubation with E. coli phosphatidylglycerol microdispersions in final concentration ranging over micro- and millimolarities.

AmiD is the fifth identified N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine zinc amidase of Escherichia coli. This periplasmic lipoprotein is anchored in the outer membrane and has a broad specificity. AmiD is capable of cleaving the intact peptidoglycan (PG) as well as soluble fragments containing N-acetylmuramic acid regardless of the presence of an anhydro form or not,

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BA) is considered as an important industrial strain for heterologous proteins production. However, its severe autolytic behavior leads to reduce the industrial production capacity of the chassis cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the autolysis of N-acetylmuranyl-L-alanine amidase in BA TCCC11018, and further slowed ...

Bacteriophage endolysins are crucial for progeny release at the end of the lytic cycle. Mycobacteriophage's genomes carry a lysin A essential gene, whose product cleaves the peptidoglycan (PG) layer and a lysin B, coding for an esterase, that cleaves the

Lactic acid bacteria are the predominant group within meat products, whose metabolites such as bacteriocins and peptidoglycan hydrolases inhibit pathogenic or spoilage bacteria. Fermented meat products, as a salami, is a good source to analyze the viable microbiota, due to these products present a low risk to consumer health.
