摘要: The P1 lysozyme Lyz is secreted to the periplasm of Escherichia coli and accumulates in an inactive membrane-tethered form. Genetic biochemical experiments show that, when released from bilayer, activated by intramolecular thiol-disulfide isomerization, which requires a cysteine its N-terminal SAR (signal-arrest-release) domain. Crystal structures confirm alternative disulfide linkages two forms reveal dramatic conformational differences catalytic Thus, exported endolysin kept three levels control-topological, conformational, covalent-until release membrane triggered holin.
