Abstract

The membrane penicillinase (EC 3.5.2.6; penicillin amido-beta-lactamhydrolase) of Bacillus licheniforis 749/C, which appears to be an intermediate in the formation of the exoenzyme, is a phospholipoprotein that carries an NH2-terminal chain of 24 amino acids (only serine, glycine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, and glutamine) and a phosphatidylserine that is not present in the exoenzyme.
