Structures of Sortase B from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus anthracis Reveal Catalytic Amino Acid Triad in the Active Site [PDF]
, 2004 Surface proteins attached by sortases to the cell wall envelope of bacterial pathogens play important roles during infection. Sorting and attachment of these proteins is directed by C-terminal signals. Sortase B of S.

Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 2992-3013, June 2025.The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.

Autolysis of dairy leuconostocs and detection of peptidoglycan hydrolases by renaturing SDS-PAGE [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2000 The autolysis of lactic acid bacteria plays a major role during cheese ripening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the autolytic properties and peptidoglycan hydrolase content of dairy leuconostocs. Autolysis of 59 strains of dairy Leuconostoc was examined under starvation conditions in potassium phosphate buffer.

Sonic Hedgehog Is a Member of the Hh/DD-Peptidase Family That Spans the Eukaryotic and Bacterial Domains of Life. [PDF]
, 2018 Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) coordinates Zn2+ in a manner that resembles that of peptidases. The ability of Shh to undergo autoproteolytic processing is impaired in mutants that affect the Zn2+ coordination, while mutating residues essential for catalytic ...

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.

N‐acetylglucosamine sensing in the filamentous soil fungus Trichoderma reesei
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 3072-3090, June 2025.N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is involved in diverse signaling pathways in dimorphic yeasts and bacteria, including virulence and cell death. Here, we investigated GlcNAc sensing in Trichoderma reesei. GlcNAc signaling influences around 2100 genes in this filamentous soil fungus.

Binding site‐shaped repeated sequences of bacterial wall peptidoglycan hydrolases [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1994 The non‐catalytic C‐terminal regions of the N‐acetylmuramidase (lysozyme) of Clostridium acetobutylicum and N‐acetylmuramoyl(d‐lactyl)‐l‐alanine amidases CwlA of Bacillus subtilis, ORFL3 and CwlL of Bacillus licheniformis were previously reported to have similarities with the amino acid sequence of the non‐catalytic N‐terminal module of the ...
