Research Progress in Autolysin from Listeria monocytogenes

Abstract

Abstract: Autolysin is a kind of peptidoglycan hydrolase produced by the bacteriumb and able to degrade its own cell wall. This enzyme is involved in numerous cellular processes including cell division, cell-wall turnover and bacterial lysates. Autolysin is closely associated with pathogenicity, which participated in host cell adhesion and invasion. The protein structure, physiological function and pathogenicity of autolysins in Listeria monocytogenes, such as p60, Ami, IspC, Auto and MurA are reviewed here.

Key words: Listeria monocytogenes, autolysin, progress
