Their treatment is increasingly hindered by limited therapeutic options and rising antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the urgent need for alternative strategies. Mycobacteriophage LysA endolysins are complex multi-domain peptidoglycan hydrolases emerging as potential tools to treat mycobacterial infections. However, despite the therapeutic prospects of LysAs, our understanding of their mechanism of action remains limited. This study provides a comprehensive structural-functional analysis of the catalytic domains of D29LysA and DS6ALysA endolysins (D29N4/D29GH19 and DS6AGH19/DS6AAmi2B), characterised alone and in complex with PG analogues, using protein engineering, X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and in silico tools. Our results reveal precise details of the substrate-binding site and the catalytic platforms at each domain, including information about substrate-binding mode and conformational changes associated with peptidoglycan recognition and hydrolysis. Moreover, these findings also suggest a coordinated mechanism of action of both catalytic domains in DS6ALysA lysin. These insights represent a significant advance in understanding the structural basis of mycobacterial cell-wall degradation by mycobacteriophage endolysins. Information that may aid in further exploring these endolysins as therapeutic antimicrobial tools in the future.
