The structural peptidoglycan hydrolase gp181 of bacteriophage φKZ

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
Gp181 (2237 amino acids) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage phiKZ (Myoviridae) is a structural virion protein, which bears a peptidoglycan hydrolase domain near its C-terminus. This protein is supposed to degrade the peptidoglycan locally during the infection process.

Biochemical analysis of NlpC/p60 peptidoglycan hydrolase activity

Methods in Enzymology, 2020
The NlpC/p60-family of peptidoglycan hydrolases are key enzymes that facilitate bacterial cell division and also modulate microbe-host interactions. These endopeptidases utilize conserved Cys-His residues in their active site and are expressed in most bacterial species as well as some eukaryotes.

Regulation of peptidoglycan hydrolases: localization, abundance, and activity

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023
Most bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan (PG) that specifies shape and protects the cell from osmotic rupture. Growth, division, and morphogenesis are intimately linked to the synthesis of this exoskeleton but also its hydrolysis. The enzymes that cleave the PG meshwork require careful control to prevent aberrant hydrolysis

Comparison of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis, peptidoglycan hydrolase and biochemical profiles for rapid dairy propionibacteria species identification

open access: yesResearch in Microbiology, 2006
Species of dairy propionibacteria are used as cheese-ripening cultures as well as probiotics. However, no rapid identification methods are currently available.

Detection and Localization of a Peptidoglycan Hydrolase in Lactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp. bulgaricus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2003
Peptidoglycan hydrolase activities in Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were detected by analysis of bacterial extracts on denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing lyophilized Micrococcus lysodeikticus cells as substrate. A hydrolase with an estimated molecular mass of 80 kDa was found to cross-react on Western blot with ...

Peptidoglycan hydrolases, bacterial shape, and pathogenesis

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2013
Bacterial shape has always been hypothesized to play an important role in the biology of a species and in the ability of certain bacteria to influence human health. The recent discovery of peptidoglycan hydrolases that modulate shape has now allowed this hypothesis to be addressed directly.

The autolytic peptidoglycan hydrolases of Streptococcus faecium

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Microbiologie, 1985
Streptococcus faecium ATCC 9790 possesses two peptidoglycan hydrolase activities. The first enzyme, an N-acetylmuramoylhydrolase, has been purified and has been shown to be a glucoenzyme. Studies of hydrolysis of soluble, linear uncross-linked peptidoglycan chains showed that the enzyme bound strongly to the non-reducing ends of the chains and then ...

Bacterial Walls, Peptidoglycan Hydrolases, Autolysins, and Autolysis

Microbial Drug Resistance, 1996
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the chemistry, ultrastructure, biosynthesis, assembly, and function of bacterial cell walls has expanded enormously since the opening of this field of research approximately 40 years ago, primarily by the early work of Milton Salton.
