The LysM (lysin motif) domain is about 40 residues long. It is found in a variety of enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall degradation [1]. This domain may have a general peptidoglycan binding function. The structure of this domain is known [2].
This entry represents a two-layer beta sandwich domain found in a variety of phage tail sheath proteins, referred to as domain II in [4,5]. Domain I and II form the protease-resistant fragment [5].
The P2 bacteriophage J protein lies at the edge of the baseplate. This family also includes a number of bacterial homologues, which are thought to have been horizontally transferred. This entry represents a six stranded beta barrel domain found in va ...
