General annotation (Comments)

Function

Autolysins are cell wall hydrolases involved in some important biological processes such as cell separation, cell-wall turnover, competence for genetic transformation, formation of the flagella - in particular of its basal body - and sporulation. Has a high affinity for teichoic acid-endowed peptidoglycan. LytC is required for efficient swarming motility but not at the level of cell separation or flagellum biosynthesis. Rather, LytC appears to be important for proper flagellar function. Ref.2 Ref.9

Catalytic activity

Hydrolyzes the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-amino acid residues in certain cell-wall glycopeptides. Ref.2

Subcellular location

Secreted › cell wall. Note: LytC localizes uniformly to the cell wall, into which the peritrichous flagella are randomly inserted. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.7

Induction

Expressed under the control of SigD (major), the transcripts being predominants at the exponential growth phase, and SigA (minor). Repressed by LytR and YvrH. Ref.4 Ref.6

Disruption phenotype

Inactivation of this gene leads to an approximately 90% decrease in the total cell wall hydrolytic activity of stationary-phase cells and extraordinary resistance to cell lysis, even after 6 days of incubation at 37 degrees Celsius. Cells from domesticated laboratory strains lacking this gene show no motility changes on swarm plates; however in combination with an acetylglucosaminidase deletion (lytD, AC P39848) greatly reduced motility is seen. They also show no apparent changes in cell morphology, competence, sporulation, or germination. Cells from an undomesticated strain (3610) lacking this gene show a reduction in the rate of swarming motility. Ref.2 Ref.5 Ref.9

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 3 family.
