Enterococcus hirae produces two autolytic enzymes named Mur-1 and Mur-2, both previously described as N-acetylmuramidases. We used tandem mass spectrometry to show that Mur-2 in fact displays N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. This result reveals that Mur-2 and its counterparts studied to date, which are members of glycosyl hydrolase family 73 from the CAZy (Carbohydrate-Active enZyme) database, display the same catalytic activity.
平肠球菌产生两种自溶酶,分别命名为Mur-1和Mur-2,这两种酶之前都被描述为N-乙酰胞壁酸酶。我们使用串联质谱法表明,Mur-2实际上具有N-乙酰葡糖胺酶活性。这一结果表明,Mur-2及其迄今研究的对应物,即来自CAZy(碳水化合物活性酶)数据库的糖基水解酶家族73的成员,具有相同的催化活性。
