A Staphylococcus aureus autolysin that has an N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase domain and an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase domain: cloning, sequence analysis, and characterization.
Open accessAbstract
The Tn551 insertion site of the autolysis-deficient Staphylococcus aureus mutant RUSAL2 was cloned and used to identify the autolysis gene atl in the parent strain, RN450. The open reading frame for atl was 3768 bp in length, encoding a deduced protein of 1256 amino acids and molecular size of 137,381 Da. The atl gene product is a bifunctional protein that has an amidase domain and an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase domain which must undergo proteolytic processing to generate the two extracellular lytic enzymes found in the culture broth of S. aureus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
