Lysosomal peptidoglycan degradation
The enzymatic breakdown of engulfed bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan inside phagocyte lysosomes
Hypotheses on this target 1
Inhibition1
Activation
Function preservation
Supplementation
Feedback restoration
Direct measurement
Inhibition1
Lysosomal digestion of bacterial cell walls may prolong skin inflammation
Where this hypothesis actsSkin-associated phagocytes after bacterial clearance, during barrier repair and repeated wetting
What is proposedReversibly slow lysosomal breakdown of peptidoglycan after microbial clearance
With whatNot stated in the record
HowReversibly inhibit the relevant catalysis after microbial clearance; no specific enzyme or inhibitor is stated
Possible resultPossible reduction in late release of mature interleukin-1β while barrier repair continues
