The invention discloses
lyase capable of killing staphylococci and an application of the
lyase, which belong to the field of biological agents. The invention discloses an
amino acid sequence and a coding
gene sequence of the
lyase. A
pH range of the lyase which plays a role is wide, the activity of
cracking the staphylococci is kept within the
pH range of 4 to 11, and recombinant
protease constructed by adopting coding genes can be solubly expressed in colibacillus BL21(DE3). The lyase can be used for efficiently killing various staphylococci
in vitro, including methicillin sensitive
staphylococcus aureus and
methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus which are clinically separated, and the lyase can be used as
antibiotics for treating staphylococcal infection
in vivo. The disclosed lyase can be used for quickly
cracking staphylococcal
cell walls and releasing substances in cells, such as triphosadenine,
DNA and the like, and the staphylococci can be detected by utilizing the released substances.
