Catalytic diversity and cell wall binding repeats in the phage ‐encoded endolysins
Bacteriophage ‐encoded endolysins act to cleave the peptidoglycan bacterial cell wall. Their utility as bacteriolytic agents could be exploited for human and veterinary medicine to treat pathogenic bacterial infections, as well as having numerous potential biotechnological applications. Here, we review the curr ent structural data and identify if there were known structural features that would be of benefit to engineering the activity, stability and/or specificity of phage endolysins. SummaryBacteriophage ‐encoded endolysins can recognize and bind specific bacteria, and act to cleave the glycosidic and/or amide bonds i...

Nitric oxide inhibits biofilm formation by Vibrio fischeri via the nitric oxide sensor HnoX
Biofilm formation byVibrio fischeri is positively controlled by the sensor kinase HahK, which activates transcription of thesyp locus, resulting in the production of the major polysaccharide component of the matrix and permitting cell aggregation phenotypes. HahK is negatively regulated by the nitric oxide ‐binding protein HnoX. Thus, presence of nitric oxide controls biofilm formation by negatively controlling the activities of HnoX and thus HahK, ultimately impactingsyp transcription and production of matrix polysaccharide. SummaryNitric oxide (NO) is an important defense molecule secreted by the squidEuprymna scolopes...
