N-domain catalytic domain C-domain lysostaphin HxH LytM HxH LytM was studied as a model system for lysostaphin.
LytM is a new fold in proteolysis Zinc ligands: H 210 D 214 H 293 Occluding ligand: N117 N-domain C-domain S. G. Odintsov, I. Sabala, M. Marcyjaniak, and M. Bochtler, Latent LytM at 1.3A resolution. J Mol Biol, 2004. 335(3): p. 775-85.
Unexpected local similarities LytM, mature form D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypeptidase Sonic hedgehog, N-domain Bochtler M, Odintsov SG, Marcyjaniak M, Sabala I. Similar active sites in lysostaphins and D-Ala-D-Ala metallopeptidases. Protein Sci. 2004 13 (4): p. 854-61.
MepA-type enzymes could be LAS enzymes. HX3-6D HXH
Summary: the LAS group so far LytM (active form) MepA D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypeptidase VanX Sonic hedgehog N-domain
Another unknown peptidoglycan amidase, unknown fold and function blue highest conservation, red lowest conservation Korza HJ, Bochtler M. P. aeruginosa LD-carboxypeptidase: A serine peptidase with a Ser-His-Glu triad and a nucleophilic elbow. J Biol Chem. 2005 Sep 14; [Epub ahead of print]
A serine peptidase with a Ser-His-Glu triad. Note that mutated enzymes were used in 100-fold higher concentration and incubated longer than wild-type enzyme to make the comparison more stringent.
LD-carboxypeptidase -hydrolase (in this case, a lipase)
