CC   -!- FUNCTION: Autolysins are involved in some important biological
CC       processes such as cell separation, cell-wall turnover, competence for
CC       genetic transformation, formation of the flagella and sporulation.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=Hydrolyzes the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-
CC         amino acid residues in certain cell-wall glycopeptides.; EC=3.5.1.28;
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Retention of enzymatic activity was limited to the N-
CC       terminal fragment (AA 1-196).
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
