Streszczenie
In this paper, the enzymatic activity, substrate specificity and antibiofilm feature of bacteriophage dual-function tail proteins are presented. So far, tail tubular proteins A–TTPAgp31 and TTPAgp44-have been considered as structural proteins of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteriophages KP32 and KP34, respectively. Our results show that TTPAgp31 is able to hydrolyze maltose as well as Red-starch. The activity of 1 µM of the protein was calculated as 47.6 milli-Units/assay relating to the α-amylase activity. It degrades capsular polysaccharides (cPS), slime polysaccharides (sPS) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of K. pneumoniae PCM 2713 and shows antibiofilm reactivity towards S. aureus PCM 519 and E. faecalis PCM 2673. TTPAgp44 hydrolyses trehalose and cPS of E. faecium PCM 1859. TTPAgp44′s activity was also observed in the antibiofilm test against P. aeruginosa PCM 2710 and B. subtilis PCM 2021. TTPAgp31 has been identified as α-1,4-glucosidase whereas, TTPAgp44 exhibits trehalase-like activity. Both proteins contain aspartate and glutamate residues in the β-stranded region which are essential for catalytic activity of glycoside hydrolases. The significant novelty of our results is that for the first time the bacteriophage tubular proteins are described as the unique enzymes displaying no similarity to any known phage hydrolases. They can be used as antibacterial agents directed against bacterial strains producing exopolysaccharides and forming a biofilm.
