Causes cell lysis of the pathogen Clostridium difficile

This part makes reference to an endolysin from a bacteriophage that infects Clostridium difficile. It is a segment of the complete protein CD27L, which residues from 2 to 143 are homolougous to the domain N-acetyl-muramoyl-L-alanine amidase. This part codes for residues 1 to 179 of the mentioned protein. It has been codon optimized for E.coli. In previous works this domain has shown a faster lysis to different strains of the pathogen and a high level of selectivity against clostridia compared to the complete protein (Wang et al., 2015).

This basic part was characterized in the Composite BBa_K2978000
