CHAP(K)
Staphylococcus phage endolysin, designed to target Staphylococcus aureus. This part was designed to be assembled with BBa_K3182010.
Bacteriophage endolysins digest the peptidoglycan wall of bacteria. The LysK is an endolysin targeting gram + bacteria. It has two catalytical domains known as CHAP (cysteine-and histidine depentent amidohydrolase/peptidase) and a central amidase-2 domain together with a cell binding domain. The CHAP domain which is the truncated part expressed in this year’s LiU iGEM (more specifically CHAP C1-C162) team still has lytic activity against staphylococcus. The C1 to C162 amino acids are required for full endopeptidase activity.
