Abstract A novel penicillin-binding protein, LaPBP from Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, which is composed of 364 amino acids with a molecular mass of 41 kDa, was identified, expressed and characterized. LaPBP displayed a significant sequence similarity with 1SDE, a hydrolases from Streptomyces strain R61. Further sequence analysis of LaPBP revealed a conserved of S-X-X-K motif and a putative catalytic triad of Ser85-Lys88-Tyr174. LaPBP hydrolyzed short-chain esters such as p-nitrophenyl acetate, butyrate. Finally, β-lactamase activity of LaPBP was investigated. Taken together, this study will contribute to improve our understanding, providing useful information in sequence, biophysical properties and catalytic activity into penicillin-binding proteins family.
