      Endospore formation by Clostridium difficile is a vital part of the life cycle for this Gram-positive bacterium. During this process, the mothercell packages proteins into the developing endospore. However, the mechanisms ...
    • Xu, Min (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
      The N-terminal hydrophobic domain of the phage P1 endolysin Lyz was found to facilitate the export of Lyz in a sec-dependent fashion, explaining the ability of Lyz to cause lysis of E.coli in the absence of the P1 holin. ...

      The work described in this dissertation addresses how spanins function during phage lysis, focusing on the 2CS system of phage lambda, in which Rz and Rz1 are the prototype i-spanin (inner membrane subunit) and o-spanin ...
    • Kuty, Gabriel (2012-02-14)
      SAR endolysins are a recently discovered class of muralytic enzymes that are regulated by dynamic membrane topology. They are synthesized as enzymatically inactive integral membrane proteins during the phage infection cycle ...
