Bacteriophage endolysins exhibit a selective capacity to degrade the peptidoglycan layer of Gram-positive bacteria, making promising biotherapeutic agents against antibiotic-resistant infections. PlyGRCS, a specific endolysin derived from S. aureus, comprises a catalytic CHAP domain and a cell-wall binding SH3_5 domain connected by a linker. Ca(2+) ions are essential for the CHAP domain's catalytic function. The crystal structure of PlyGRCS, determined in the absence of Ca(2+) and refined to a resolution of 1.67 A, revealed significant conformational changes in the Ca(2+) binding site. Antimicrobial assays with Ca(2+)-deficient PlyGRCS and mutants targeting key residues in the catalytic and Ca(2+) binding regions highlighted the importance of specific functional residues for lytic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These structural and microbial studies provide valuable insights into the critical residues contributing to PlyGRCS's bacteriolytic efficacy against MRSA.
