Role of N-Acetylglucosaminidase and N-Acetylmuramidase Activities in Enterococcus faecalis Peptidoglycan Metabolism

Identification of the full complement of peptidoglycan hydrolases detected by zymogram in Enterococcus faecalis extracts led to the characterization of two novel hydrolases that we named AtlB and AtlC. Both enzymes have a similar modular organization comprising a central catalytic domain fused to tw... View More
