Enterococcus faecalis is a major causative agent of hospital acquired infections. The ability of E. faecalis to evade the host immune system is essential during pathogenesis, which has been shown to be dependent on the complete separation of daughter cells by peptidoglycan hydrolases. AtlE is a peptidoglycan hydrolase which is predicted to bind to the cell wall of E. faecalis, via six C-terminal repeat sequences. Here, we report the near complete assignment of one of these six repeats, as well as the predicted backbone structure and dynamics. This data will provide a platform for future NMR studies to explore the ligand recognition motif of AtlE and help to uncover its potential role in E. faecalis virulence.
粪肠球菌是医院获得性感染的主要病原体。在发病机制中,粪肠球菌逃避宿主免疫系统的能力至关重要,这已被证明依赖于肽聚糖水解酶将子细胞完全分离。AtlE 是一种肽聚糖水解酶,据预测通过 6 个 C 末端重复序列与粪肠球菌的细胞壁结合。在这里,我们报告了其中一个重复序列的几乎完整分配,以及预测的骨架结构和动力学。该数据将为未来的 NMR 研究提供一个平台,以探索 AtlE 的配体识别基序,并有助于揭示其在粪肠球菌毒力中的潜在作用。
