HYDROPHOBIC STABILIZATION IN T4 LYSOZYME DETERMINED DIRECTLY BY MULTIPLE SUBSTITUTIONS OF ILE 3HYDROPHOBIC STABILIZATION IN T4 LYSOZYME DETERMINED DIRECTLY BY MULTIPLE SUBSTITUTIONS OF ILE 3
Structural highlights
FunctionENLYS_BPT4 Endolysin with lysozyme activity that degrades host peptidoglycans and participates with the holin and spanin proteins in the sequential events which lead to the programmed host cell lysis releasing the mature viral particles. Once the holin has permeabilized the host cell membrane, the endolysin can reach the periplasm and break down the peptidoglycan layer.[1] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedReplacing the isoleucine at amino-acid position three of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme causes changes in the thermodynamic stability of the protein that are directly related to the hydrophobicity of the substituted residue. Structural analysis confirms that the hydrophobic stabilization is proportional to the reduction of the surface area accessible to solvent on folding.
