Substrate recognition and catalysis by LytB, a pneumococcal peptidoglycan hydrolase involved in virulence

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of life-threatening diseases worldwide. Here we provide an in-depth functional characterization of LytB, the peptidoglycan hydrolase responsible for physical separation of daughter cells. Identified herein as an N-acetylglucosaminidase, LytB is involved also...
