Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Pesticin, a Bacterial Homolog of Phage Lysozymes

Yersinia pestis produces and secretes a toxin named pesticin that kills related bacteria of the same niche. Uptake of the bacteriocin is required for activity in the periplasm leading to hydrolysis of peptidoglycan. To understand the uptake mechanism and to investigate the function of pesticin, we c...
