The lytic enzyme of the lipid-containing bacteriophage phi6, protein P5, has been purified to apparent homogeneity from disrupted viral particles. The enzyme is a monomer with a molecular mass of approx. 24 kDa. The optimal pH for P5 activity is 8.5 and the protein is readily inactivated at temperatures above 20-degrees-C. Protein P5 is active against several Gram-negative bacteria, but no activity against Gram-positive species was detected. Analysis of cell wall digests indicates that P5 is not a glycosidase, but an endopeptidase splitting the peptide bridge formed by meso-diaminopimelic acid and D-alanine.
