Phenotypes of a mutant
cell separation defect, this is increased by a ''[gene|321F248C22D7283C0F3323F1F4069E36F8D7FE6C|lytE]'' mutation [Pubmed|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
nlpC/p60 family (according to Swiss-Prot)[SW|Domains]
contains five N-acetylglucosamine-polymer-binding [SW|LysM domain]s [Pubmed|18430080]C-terminal D,L-endopeptidase domain ([SW|NlpC/P60 domain]) [pubmed|29458655,22139507][SW|Localization]
secreted (according to Swiss-Prot)localizes to cell septa and poles on the vegetative cell surface, this depends on the presence of lipoteichoic acids ([protein|418900B6DBDF3EF300C930B0C75E31B939F3CE00|LtaS]) [Pubmed|25288647,22139507]Expression and Regulation
