Cell Wall Hydrolase
These enzymes have been implicated in cell wall hydrolyzis, most extensively in Bacillus subtilis. For instance Bacillus subtilis SleB is expressed during sporulation as an inactive form and then deposited on the cell outer cortex. During germination the the enzyme is activated and hydrolyzes the cortex. A similar role is carried out by the partially redundant Bacillus subtilis CwlJ. It is not clear whether these enzymes are amidases or peptidases.
