Sequence of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteriophage HB-3 amidase reveals high homology with the major host autolysin.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1990

Romero A, Lopez R, Garcia P

Abstract excerpt

We have sequenced a DNA fragment containing the pneumococcal bacteriophage HB-3 hbl gene, which codes for the phage lytic amidase. A remarkable nucleotide similarity (87.1%) between the lytA gene, coding for the pneumococcal amidase, the major autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the hbl gene was found. This similarity completely disappeared outside the open reading frames coding for both amidases. The hbl...
