elastin-binding protein EbpS. The elastin-binding protein EbpS is an adhesin described in Staphylococcus aureus, with orthologs found in many additional staphylococcal species. EbpS is a membrane protein that lacks an N-terminal signal peptide region, has extensive regions low-complexity sequence rich in Asn and Gln, and has a C-terminal LysM domain.

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.

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.
