The crystal structure of the C‐terminal domain of the Bacillus megaterium YpeB protein has been solved by X‐ray crystallography to 1.80‐Å resolution. The full‐length protein is essential in stabilising the SleB cortex lytic enzyme in Bacillus spores, and may have a role in regulating SleB activity during spore germination. The YpeB‐C crystal structure comprises three tandemly repeated PepSY domains, which are aligned to form an extended laterally compressed molecule. A predominantly positively charged region located in the second PepSY domain may provide a site for protein interactions that are important in stabilising SleB and YpeB within the spore.

Bacillus anthracis produces metabolically inactive spores. Germination of these spores requires germination‐specific lytic enzymes (GSLEs) that degrade the unique cortex peptidoglycan to permit resumption of metabolic activity and outgrowth. We report the first crystal structure of the catalytic domain of a GSLE, SleB. The structure revealed a transglycosylase fold with unique active site topology and permitted identification of the catalytic glutamate residue. Moreover, the structure provided insights into the molecular basis for the specificity of the enzyme for muramic‐δ‐lactam‐containing cortex peptidoglycan. The protein also contains a metal‐binding site that is positioned directly at the entrance of the substrate‐binding cleft. Proteins 2012;. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献
