    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • cell separation defect, this is increased by a ''[protein|search|lytE]'' mutation [Pubmed|23855774]
  • The protein

    Protein family

  • nlpC/p60 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]

  • contains five N-acetylglucosamine-polymer-binding [SW|LysM domain]s [Pubmed|18430080]
  • C-terminal D,L-endopeptidase domain [Pubmed|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|search|LtaS]) [Pubmed|25288647,22139507]
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • [protein|search|IseA]-[protein|search|LytF] (catalytic domain) [Pubmed|18761696]
