Characterization of the Bacillus subtilis CwbA protein which stimulates cell wall lytic amidases.
The Bacillus subtilis cell wall binding protein, CwbA, stimulated the cell wall lytic activities of the B. subtilis and B. licheniformis autolysins (CwlA and CwlM, respectively) in addition to that of the major B. subtilis autolysin (CwlB). Even though the substrate for the enzyme reaction was changed from B. subtilis cell wall containing a teichoic acid to Micrococcus luteus cell wall containi...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of a major cell wall protein gene from protein-producing Bacillus brevis 47 and its expression in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus brevis 47 contains two major cell wall proteins. Each protein forms a hexagonal array in the cell wall. A 4.8-kilobase HindIII fragment of B. brevis 47 DNA cloned into Escherichia coli with pBR322 as a vector directed the synthesis of polypeptides cross-reactive with antibody to the middle wall protein. A 700-base-pair BamHI-HpaI fragment was shown to be the essential region for the sy...
متن کاملFunctional characterization and localization of a Bacillus subtilis sortase and its substrate and use of this sortase system to covalently anchor a heterologous protein to the B. subtilis cell wall for surface display.
Sortases catalyze the covalent anchoring of proteins to the cell surface on Gram-positive bacteria. Bioinformatic analysis suggests the presence of structural genes encoding sortases and their substrates in the Bacillus subtilis genome. In this study, a β-lactamase reporter was fused to the cell wall anchoring domain from a putative sortase substrate, YhcR. Covalent anchoring of this fusion pro...
متن کاملRetraction for Anderson et al., "Assembly of Minicellulosomes on the Surface of Bacillus subtilis".
To cost-efficiently produce biofuels, new methods are needed to convert lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars. One promising approach is to degrade biomass using cellulosomes, which are surface-displayed multicellulase-containing complexes present in cellulolytic Clostridium and Ruminococcus species. In this study we created cellulolytic strains of Bacillus subtilis that display one o...
متن کاملThe lytE gene of Bacillus subtilis 168 encodes a cell wall hydrolase.
Bacillus subtilis cell wall-bound protein CWBP33 is encoded by lytE, a gene expressed during the exponential growth phase. Sequence analysis of LytE, a 33-kDa protein, reveals two domains. The N-terminal domain contains a threefold-repeated motif common to several peptidoglycan binding proteins, while the C-terminal domain, probably carrying the catalytic activity, has homology with certain exo...
