摘要
Activity of a penicillin-insensitive DD-endopeptidase that splits the D-alanyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimelyl linkage in peptidoglycan was demonstrated in a sonic extract of Escherichia coli. The protein with this activity was partially purified. The activity was inhibited by 3 μg per ml of deoxyribonucleic acid, suggesting that this cell wall hydrolytic enzyme is regulated by deoxyribonucleic acid or its fragments. © 1978.
