LytA, Major Autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Requires Access to Nascent Peptidoglycan

The pneumococcal autolysin LytA is a virulence factor involved in autolysis as well as in fratricidal- and penicillin-induced lysis. In this study, we used biochemical and molecular biological approaches to elucidate which factors control the cytoplasmic translocation and lytic activation of LytA. W...
