  • cells are thinner (reduced diameter) as compared to the wild type [Pubmed|23869552]
  • reduced colony size with accumulation of dead cells in the colonies [pubmed|29114240]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • cleaves the peptide bond between D-Glu (position 2 in the peptioglycan peptide) and m-diamino pimelic acid (position 3) [Pubmed|18266855]
  • degradation of gamma-polyglutamic acid [pubmed|29458655]

    • Protein family

  • [SW|Peptidase C40 family] (according to UniProt)

    • [SW|Domains]

  • contains three N-acetylglucosamine-polymer-binding [SW|LysM domain]s [Pubmed|18430080]
  • C-terminal D,L-endopeptidase domain ([SW|NlpC/P60 domain]) [pubmed|29458655,22139507]

    • Effectors of protein activity

  • activity requires functional [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|MreB] and [protein|40829C3632E9DCEB9E1C14A674B4B217F504CFE0|MreBH] [Pubmed|23869552,16950129]

  • [PDB|4XCM] (from Thermus thermophilus, 34% identity) [pubmed|25760608]

    • [SW|Localization]

  • binds the cell wall [Pubmed|21261835]
  • localizes to cell septa, poles and lateral sidewall of the cell (via the N-terminal domain) [Pubmed|22139507]
  • localization to lateral cell wall depends on the interaction with [protein|40829C3632E9DCEB9E1C14A674B4B217F504CFE0|MreBH] [Pubmed|23869552]
