Characterization of Bacillus subtilis gamma-glutamyltransferase and its involvement in the degradation of capsule poly-gamma-glutamate.

Abstract excerpt

During early stationary phase, Bacillus subtilis NAFM5 produces capsular poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (gammaPGA, 2x10(6) Da), which contains D- and L-glutamate, and then degrades it during late stationary phase. The gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2; GGT) of this strain successively hydrolysed gammaPGA from the amino-terminal end, to yield both D- and L-glutamate. This enzyme was specifically synthesized during...
