LysCSA13
This biobrick consist of the endolysin Lys from the Staphylococcus aureus virulent bacteriophage CSA13, it is composed of two domains: The CHAP domain, with an excellent catalytic activity, up to 90%, degrading almost 15 strains of Staphylococcus including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA) [1], and the SH3 domain, which recognizes and binds to the highly specific glycine of the pentaglycine cross-bridge glycosidic bond in the heteropolymer of the S. aureus peptidoglycan, activating the catalytic domain [2]. The enzyme has a length of 249 amino acids and a molecular weight of 28.36 kDa. It keeps its stability in a range of 4 to 37 °C and a pH of 7 to 9, the average endolysin lifetime is about 20 minutes[3]. The part is adapted to the Golden Gate cloning method.

Usage and Biology
The endolysin Lys from the Staphylococcus aureus virulent bacteriophage CSA1, is composed of two domains. The bacteriophage CSA13 CHAP domain has excellent catalytic activity, up to 90%, degrading almost 15 strains of Staphylococcus including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). As with many of the endolysins, it cleaves to the cell wall by disrupting the peptidoglycan that composes the bacterial cell; for this to be possible, the bacteriophage CSA13 SH3 domain recognizes and binds to the glycine of the pentaglycine cross-bridge glycosidic bond in the heteropolymer of the peptidoglycan, which makes it completely safe for the host [1].
