Lactococcus lactis gene YjgB encodes a [gamma]-D-glutaminyl-L-lysyl-endopeptidase which hydrolyzes peptidoglycan
Article Abstract:
Studies show that YjgB, one of the peptidoglycan identified in Lactococcus lactis hydrolyzes the peptide bond between [gamma]-D-glutaminyl and L-lysyl in peptide chains of Lactococcus lactis peptidoglycan

Identification of Mur, an atypical peptidoglycan hydrolase derived from Leuconostoc citreum
Article Abstract:
A protein with sequence homology to bacterial N-acetyl-muramidases is described. It contains a similar N-terminal catalytic domain but lacks the cell wall binding domain.
