| InterPro abstract: | Escherichia coli MltA is a membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase comprised of two domains separated by a large groove, where the peptidoglycan strand binds. Domain A is made up of an N-terminal and a C-terminal portion, which correspond to the 3D domain, named for 3 conserved aspartate residues. Domain B is inserted within the linear sequence of domain A [ PUBMED:16139297 … expand |
