Cpl-1 lysin (also known as Cpl-9 lysozyme / muramidase) is a bacterial cell wall endolysin encoded by the pneumococcal bacteriophage Cp-1, which cleaves the glycosidic N-acetylmuramoyl-(beta1,4)-N-acetylglucosamine bonds of the pneumococcal glycan chain, thus acting as an enzymatic antimicrobial agent (an enzybiotic) against streptococcal infections. Cpl-1 belongs to the CP family of lysozymes (CPL lysozymes) which includes the Cpl-7 lysin. Cpl-1 has a glycosyl hydrolase family 25 (GH25) catalytic domain with an irregular (beta/alpha)5-beta3 barrel and a C-terminal cell wall-anchoring module formed by six similar choline-binding repeats (ChBr's). The ChBr's facilitate the anchoring of Cpl-1 to the choline-containing teichoic acid of the pneumococcal cell wall. Other members of this domain family have an N-terminal CHAP (cysteine, histidine-dependent amidohydrolases/peptidases) domain similar to that of the firmicute CHAP lysins and associated with endopeptidase activity. The Cpl-7 lysin is also included here as is LysB of Lactococcus phage, and the Mur lysin of Lactobacillus phage.

Lysin Motif is a small domain involved in binding peptidoglycan. LysM, a small globular domain with approximately 40 amino acids, is a widespread protein module involved in binding peptidoglycan in bacteria and chitin in eukaryotes. The domain was originally identified in enzymes that degrade bacterial cell walls, but proteins involved in many other biological functions also contain this domain. It has been reported that the LysM domain functions as a signal for specific plant-bacteria recognition in bacterial pathogenesis. Many of these enzymes are modular and are composed of catalytic units linked to one or several repeats of LysM domains. LysM domains are found in bacteria and eukaryotes.

LysM domain. The LysM (lysin motif) domain is about 40 residues long. It is found in a variety of enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall degradation. This domain may have a general peptidoglycan binding function. The structure of this domain is known.
