Autolysins are endogenous lytic enzymes that break down the peptidoglycan components of biological cells which enables the separation of daughter cells following cell division. …

The pneumococcal autolysin LytA is a virulence factor involved in autolysis as well as in fratricidal- and penicillin-induced lysis. In this study, we used biochemical and molecular biological …

An “autolysin” is a PG hydrolase produced and regulated by the bacterial cell for growth, division, maintenance, and repair of the PG. From: Advances in Virus Research, 2012

2021年4月1日 · Our analyses of autolysin building blocks in eight important pathogens has already revealed intriguing patterns of sequence diversity, domain usage, and relationships …

Autolysin is a protease produced in the gametic cells of C. reinhardtii, active against the hydroxyproline rich proteins of the cellulose deficient cell wall of Chlamydomonas. Autolysin …

Here, we report that a major cell wall hydrolase, autolysin (Atl), controls the sorting of LukAB from the cell envelope to the extracellular milieu, an effect independent of transcriptional regulation.

Autolysin is an enzyme that, when activated, breaks down the peptide cross-linking of the cell wall peptidoglycan in bacteria, leading to their lysis. This process releases pneumolysin and cell …

Major autolysin (Atl) of Staphylococcus aureus is a cell surface associated peptidoglycan hydrolase with amidase and glucosaminidase domains. Atl enzymes (amidase and …

2010年1月1日 · In this event, these enzymes are called autolysins (Shockman and Höltje 1994). Autolysis is observed under conditions which result in the cessation of peptidoglycan …

2014年4月1日 · Here we report that autolysins from Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria, enzymes capable of hydrolyzing peptidoglycan, have a major role in concealing this inflammatory …
