A predator-prey interaction between a marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. and Gram-positive bacteria [PDF]

, 2020
Predator-prey interactions play important roles in the cycling of marine organic matter. Here we show that a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from marine sediments (Pseudoalteromonas sp.

A new peptidoglycan hydrolase in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986
The use of a mutant of Streptococcus pneumoniae deleted in the lytA gene coding for the N-acetyl-muramyl-l-alanine amidase, and therefore devoid of any amidase, has allowed the identification of a new murein hydrolase activity in this bacterium. This enzyme (or enzymes) acted as an autolysin when the cultures were grown at 30°C.

The Effect of NAG–thiazoline on Morphology and Surface Hydrophobicity of Escherichia Coli [PDF]

, 2004
The β-hexosaminidase inhibitor and structural analog of the putative oxazolium reaction intermediate of lytic transglycosylases, N-acetylglucosamine thiazoline (NAG–thiazoline), was synthesized in 46% overall yield and tested as an inhibitor of ...

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile

Microbial Cell, 2018
Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

The structure of a resuscitation-promoting factor domain from Mycobacterium tuberculosis shows homology to lysozymes [PDF]

, 2005
Resuscitation-promoting factor (RPF) proteins reactivate stationary-phase cultures of (G+C)-rich Gram-positive bacteria including the causative agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Bacterial growth does require peptidoglycan hydrolases [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2012
SummaryMost bacteria surround their cytoplasmic membrane with a net‐like, elastic heteropolymer, the peptidoglycan sacculus, to protect themselves from bursting due to the turgor and to maintain cell shape. It has been assumed that growing bacteria require peptidoglycan hydrolases to open meshes in the peptidoglycan net allowing the insertion of the ...

Bacteriophage virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases: potential new enzybiotics [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2012
Virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases (VAPGH) are phage-encoded lytic enzymes that locally degrade the peptidoglycan (PG) of the bacterial cell wall during infection. In contrast to endolysins, PGHs that mediate lysis of the host bacteria at the end of the lytic cycle to release of phage progeny, the action of VAPGHs generates a small hole through

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]

, 2017
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Characterisation of the peptidoglycan hydrolases of Listeria monocytogenes EGD [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
The peptidoglycan hydrolase profile of Listeria monocytogenes EGD has been characterised under a variety of environmental and physiological conditions, using renaturing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The profiles show activities ranging from 29 to 186 kDa.
