Abstract excerpt
Lytic transglycosylases cleave the beta,1-->4 glycosidic linkages between the N-acetylmuramoyl (MurNAc) and N-acetylglucosaminyl (GlcNAc) residues of peptidoglycan with the concomitant formation of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl reaction products. The genes encoding two hypothetical lytic transglycosylases were identified in the genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by a BLAST search using membrane-bound lytic...
