Background: Coliphage K5 Lyase

Recombinant Coliphage K5 Lyase His-tag (K5 Lyase) is a viral tail spike protein from the K5A bacteriophage that infects the K5 strain of Escherichia coli (1). The overall structure of mature K5 Lyase comprises a trimer of three identical monomers with the monomers aligned and intertwined at the carboxyl‑terminal domain. Each monomer consists of a small N‑terminal alpha‑helical domain, a central single-stranded, right-handed beta-helix domain, and a C‑terminal beta‑prism/triple-stranded beta-helix domain (2). K5 Lyase is specifically active on heparosan, a glycosaminoglycan with the repeating disaccharide [-4)-GlcA-beta (1,4)-GlcNAc-alpha (1-], that comprises the polysaccharide capsule of E. coli that must be degraded by the virus to permit penetration of the capsule (3). The strict specificity of K5 Lyase means it does not recognize hyaluronan, an isomer of the K5 polysaccharide, and is only capable of cleaving alpha1‑4 (not beta1‑4) hexosaminidic linkages (4). K5 Lyase is of particular interest in the field of heparin and heparan sulfate glycobiology because both glycans contain the same core linear disaccharide structure of heparosan with varying sulfation. As heparin and heparan sulfate play important roles in blood coagulation, cell proliferation, and development (5,6), K5 lyase can be used as an enzymatic tool to cleave and modulate these important glycans. The activity of K5 Lyase is demonstrated in an electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay using Cy5‑Labeled Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan.
