Crystal structure of GH73 are available and have been coincidently reported, FlgJ from Sphingomonas sp. (SPH1045-C) [1] and Auto a virulence associated peptigoglycan hydrolase from Listeria monocytogenes [2]. A structure for a catalytic mutant (E185A) of FlgJ has been solved by Maruyama et al [3] but doesn’t show any conformational changes. The two GH73 show the same fold, with two subdomains consisting of a β-lobe and an α-lobe that together create an extended substrate binding groove (Figure 1). With a typical lysozyme (α+β) fold, the catalytic domain of Auto is structurally related to the catalytic domain of Slt70 from E. coli [4], the family GH19 chitinases and goose egg-white lysozyme (GEWL, GH23)[5]. FlgJ is structurally related to a peptidoglycan degrading enzyme from the bacteriophage phi 29 [6] and also to family GH22 and GH23 lysozymes.
