Phage Endolysin: A Way To Understand A Binding Function Of C-Terminal Domains A Mini Review

Nova Biotechnologica et Chimica, 2015
Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases, which are synthesized in the end of phage reproduction cycle, in an infected host cell. Usually, for endolysins from phages that infect Gram-positive bacteria, a modular structure is typical.

Interactions between Bacteria and Bile Salts in the Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Tracts [PDF]

, 2017
Bile salts and bacteria have intricate relationships. The composition of the intestinal pool of bile salts is shaped by bacterial metabolism. In turn, bile salts play a role in intestinal homeostasis by controlling the size and the composition of the ...

Temperature-dependent regulation of bacterial cell division hydrolases by the coordinated action of a regulatory RNA and the ClpXP protease

The Cell Surface
A defining feature of bacteria is the peptidoglycan cell wall which provides structural integrity and prevents osmotic lysis. While peptidoglycan hydrolases are required for daughter cell separation, dysregulated cell wall degradation may result in cell ...

Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 388-398, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Recent research highlights cutaneous dysbiosis as a critical factor in its pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the interplay between the skin microbiota and host immunity, contrasting the homeostatic ...

The Plant Pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris Exploits N-Acetylglucosamine during Infection

mBio, 2014
N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), the main component of chitin and a major constituent of bacterial peptidoglycan, is present only in trace amounts in plants, in contrast to the huge amount of various sugars that compose the polysaccharides of the plant cell

Listeria bacteriophage peptidoglycan hydrolases feature high thermoresistance and reveal increased activity after divalent metal cation substitution [PDF]

, 2018
The ability of the bacteriophage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases (endolysins) to destroy Gram-positive bacteria from without makes these enzymes promising antimicrobials.

A Single Dual-Function Enzyme Controls the Production of Inflammatory NOD Agonist Peptidoglycan Fragments by Neisseria gonorrhoeae

mBio, 2017
Neisseria gonorrhoeae gonococcus (GC) is a Gram-negative betaproteobacterium and causative agent of the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. During growth, GC releases lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and peptidoglycan (PG) fragments, which contribute ...
