Structural analysis revealed that the catalytic domain of LytB consists of three structurally independent modules: SH3b, WW domain-like, and the glycoside hydrolase family 73 (GH73). This entry is the WW like domain found in endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase LytB from Streptococcus pneumoniae. Functional analysis show that the deletion of both SH3b and WW modules almost completely abolished the activity of LytB. Furthermore, it was shown that the SH3b and WW modules are indispensable for LytB in cell separation [1].
This family includes Mannosyl-glycoprotein endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase EC:3.2.1.96. As well as the flageller protein J Swiss:P75942 that has been shown to hydrolyse peptidoglycan [1].
This domain has can be found in endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase LytB (EC 3.2.1.96) of S. pneumoniae and other gram positive bacteria. This domain adopts an SH3-like structure.
