Organism
Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 4 (strain ATCC BAA-334 / TIGR4)
Function
Autolysins are involved in some important biological processes such as cell separation, cell-wall turnover, competence for genetic transformation, formation of the flagella and sporulation. Autolysin strictly depends on the presence of choline-containing cell walls for activity.
Similarity
Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
