Newest firstEndolysins, proteins encoded by phages to lyse their hosts and release their progeny, have evolved to adapt to the structural features of each host. The endolysins from Staphylococcus-infecting phages typically feature complex architectures with two enzymatically active domains (EADs) and one cell wall-binding domain (CBD) belonging to the bacterial SH3 (SH3b) superfamily. This study focuses on three SH3b-like CBD…
Open article record in new tab ↗Natural and artificial endolysins exhibit bactericidal effects by destroying peptidoglycans in the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria and are usually composed of an N-terminal catalytic domain (CTD) and a C-terminal cell wall-binding domain (CBD). The structures and receptors of CBDs are variable, but bacterial Src homology 3 (SH3b) CBDs are prevalent among the natural endolysins of Staphylococcus aureus. Moreove…
