Identification and structural characterization of LytU, a unique peptidoglycan endopeptidase from the lysostaphin family
Abstract We introduce LytU, a short member of the lysostaphin family of zinc-dependent pentaglycine endopeptidases. It is a potential antimicrobial agent for S. aureus infections and its gene transcription is highly upregulated upon antibiotic treatments along with other genes involved in cell wall...
