Bi-functional activities of chimeric lysozymes constructed by domain swapping between bacteriophage T7 and K11 lysozymes.
The lysozymes encoded by bacteriophage T7 and K11 are both bifunctional enzymes sharing an extensive sequence homology (75%). The constructions of chimeric lysozymes were carried out by swapping the N-terminal and C-terminal domains between phage T7 and K11 lysozymes. This technique generated two chimeras, T7K11-lysozyme (N-terminal T7 domain and C-terminal K11 domain) and K11T7-lysozyme (N-ter...
متن کاملTick lysozymes
Ticks are blood feeding arthropod parasites transmitting a wide variety of pathogens to their vertebrate hosts. The vector capability of ticks is tightly linked to their immune system. Ticks can defend themselves against microbial infection with a variety of antimicrobial peptides comprising lysozymes, defensins, and unique molecules not found in other arthropods. Lysozymes are hydrolytic enzym...
متن کاملLysozymes in molluscs
Invertebrates lack antibody-mediated humoral immune systems; however, they are believed to possess efficient host defense mechanisms involving humoral defense molecules that are similar in function to antibodies. Lysozymes are a group of enzymes that cleave the glycosidic bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine (two amino sugars) in the peptidoglycans that form bacterial cell...
متن کاملPurification, characterization and comparison of reptile lysozymes.
Cation exchange column chromatography and gel filtration chromatography were used to purify four reptile lysozymes from egg white: SSTL A and SSTL B from soft shelled turtle (Trionyx sinensis), ASTL from Asiatic soft shelled turtle (Amyda cartilagenea) and GSTL from green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). The molecular masses of the purified reptile lysozymes were estimated to be 14 kDa by SDS-PAGE....
متن کاملMultiple lysozymes of duck egg white.
Lysozyme was purified from a pooled sample of Peking duck egg whites by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Three different lysozymes were found, and each was shown to be pure by several criteria. The three enzymes were like chicken lysozyme in molecular size and specific activity, although they could be distinguished from it, as well as from one another, by electrophoretic and immu...
