General annotation (Comments)

Function

The main role of this lysozyme is in digestion. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterium P.cerevisiae and the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli and V.vulnificus. Shows some chitinase activity but no isopeptidase activity. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

Hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins. Ref.1

Enzyme regulation

Activity decreased by 80% by addition of 0.01 M calcium, zinc or magnesium. Activity only decreased by 17% by addition of ammonium, and by 2% by addition of sodium. Ref.1

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the epithelia of the basophil cells in the digestive tubules, but not in the epithelial cells lining the digestive ducts and stomach. Expressed at a much lower level in the style sac-midgut tissues. No expression detected in mantle, gills, labial palps or hemocytes. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the lysozyme type I family.

Biophysicochemical properties

pH dependence:

Retains more than 90% of its maximum activity between pH 5.4 and 6.4 in the ionic strength range of I=0.005-0.01. In buffers of I=0.005 more than 75% of maximum activity is retained between pH 5.3 and 7.5. In buffers of I=0.02 more than 75% of maximum activity is retained between pH 5.3 and 6.5. Ref.1

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is 55 degrees Celsius. No decrease in activity was detected after incubation at 30 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. No activity could be detected after incubation at 90 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Ref.1

Mass spectrometry

Molecular mass is 12984.6 Da from positions 19 - 135. Determined by MALDI. Ref.1
