Chapter 7 Microbial peptidoglycan (murein) hydrolases
1994Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the microbial peptidoglycan (murein) hydrolases. Studies of the action of lysozyme and of other bacteriolytic enzymes revealed that the bacteriolytic action was a result of hydrolysis of specific bonds in the protective and shape-maintaining bacterial exoskeleton, the peptidoglycan (murein) sacculus of the ...

Proteins of the Rpf (resuscitation promoting factor) family are peptidoglycan hydrolases
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2006The secreted Micrococcus luteus protein, Rpf, is required for successful resuscitation of dormant "non-culturable" M. luteus cells and for growth stimulation in poor media. The biochemical mechanism of Rpf action remained unknown. Theoretical predictions of Rpf domain architecture and organization, together with a recent NMR analysis of the protein ...

Acd, a peptidoglycan hydrolase of Clostridium difficile with N-acetylglucosaminidase activity
Microbiology, 2005A gene encoding a putative peptidoglycan hydrolase was identified by sequence similarity searching in the Clostridium difficile 630 genome sequence, and the corresponding protein, named Acd (autolysin of C. difficile) was expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced amino acid sequence of Acd shows a modular structure with two main domains: an N-terminal

Intracellular Peptidoglycan Hydrolases of the Bacterium Xanthomonas campestris XL-1
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2003A system of intracellular peptidoglycan hydrolases of Xanthomonas campestris XL-1 comprises about 10 enzymes of different localization and substrate specificity. Seven enzymes (A(1)-A(7)) are localized in cytosol, one enzyme (A(8)) in periplasm, and two enzymes (A(9), A(10)) were found in the fraction of cell walls and membranes.
