    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • a ''[protein|search|cwlO] [protein|search|lytE]'' mutant is not viable [Pubmed|17581128,22139507]
  • shorter, fatter cells, this can be rescued by addition of Mg(2) [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
  • 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]
  • Protein family

  • peptidase C40 family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s)

  • the C-terminal D,L-endopeptidase domains of [protein|search|LytE], [protein|search|LytF], [protein|search|CwlS], and [protein|search|CwlO] exhibit strong sequence similarity
  • [SW|Domains]

  • C-terminal D,L-endopeptidase domain [Pubmed|22139507]
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • [protein|search|CwlO] requires activation by [protein|search|FtsE]-[protein|search|FtsX] [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
  • activity requires functional [protein|search|Mbl] [Pubmed|23869552]
  • [SW|Localization]

  • extracellular (signal peptide) [Pubmed|18957862]
  • localizes to the outer lateral sidewall of the cell (via the N-terminal domain) [Pubmed|22139507]
  • cell membrane in a [protein|search|FtsX]-dependent manner [Pubmed|23869552]
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • [protein|search|FtsX]-[protein|search|CwlO], at the membrane [Pubmed|23869552]
  • Expression and Regulation

    [SW|Sigma factor]

  • [protein|search|SigA] [Pubmed|24163346]
  • Regulation

  • expressed during exponential growth ([protein|search|WalR]) [Pubmed|17581128]
  • Regulatory mechanism

  • [protein|search|WalR]: transcription activation [Pubmed|17581128]
