Wall teichoic acid (WTA) or related polyanionic cell wall glycopolymers are produced by most gram-positive bacterial species and have been implicated in various cellular functions. WTA and the proton gradient across bacterial membranes are known to control the activity of autolysins but the molecular details of these interactions are poorly understood. We demonstrate that WTA contributes substa...
The addition of saturated C6, C8, C10, and C12 fatty acids appeared to lyse actively growing cells of Bacillus subtilis 168, as judged by a decrease in the optical density of the culture. Of these fatty acids, dodecanoic acid was the most effective, with 50% lysis occurring in about 30 min at a concentration of 0.5 mM. These conditions also decreased the amount of peptidoglycan estimated by the...
The autolytic enzyme (an N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase) of a clinical isolate, strain 101/87, which is classified as an atypical pneumococcus, has been studied for the first time. The lytA101 gene coding for this amidase (LYTA101) has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The LYTA101 amidase has been purified and shown to be similar to the main autolytic enzyme (LYTA) p...
Glycan microarrays have emerged as novel tools to study carbohydrate-protein interactions. Here we describe the preparation of a covalent microarray with lipochitin oligosaccharides and its use in studying proteins containing LysM domains. The glycan microarray was assembled from glycoconjugates that were synthesized by using recently developed bifunctional chemoselective aminooxy reagents with...
More than 50% of sepsis cases are associated with pneumonia. Sepsis is caused by infiltration of bacteria into the blood via inflammation, which is triggered by the release of cell wall components following lysis. However, the regulatory mechanism of lysis during infection is not well defined. Mice were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 wild-type (WT) and lipase mutant (ΔlipA) intranas...
