General description
Lysostaphin is a glycylglycine endopeptidase. It is an important antibacterial enzyme.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lysostaphin has the ability to cleave both viable and heat-killed S. aureus cells. It is one of the major antibacterial agents for the staphylococci. Lysostaphin cleaves the cross-linking pentaglycine bridges in the cell walls of staphylococci. Thus it is considered as an antistaphylococcal therapeutic agent.
Lysostaphin is a zinc endopeptidase with a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa. Because lysostaphin cleaves the polyglycine cross-links in the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall of Staphylococcus species it has been found useful for cell lysis and also as a potential anti-microbial therapeutic.
