EC 3.4.24.75     
Accepted name: lysostaphin
Reaction: Hydrolysis of the -Gly┼Gly- bond in the pentaglycine inter-peptide link joining staphylococcal cell wall peptidoglycans
Other name(s): glycyl-glycine endopeptidase
Comments: A zinc-dependent, 25-kDa endopeptidase from Staphylococcus simulans. Lyses cells of S. aureus, in particular, by its action on the cross-bridges of the cell wall. Type example of peptidase family M23.
