Enzyme Information

6.1.1.13
D-alanine--poly(phosphoribitol) ligase.
based on mapping to UniProt P55153
ATP + D-alanine + poly(ribitol phosphate) = AMP + diphosphate + O-D- alanyl-poly(ribitol phosphate).
-!- A thioester bond is formed transiently between D-alanine and the sulfhydryl group of the 4'-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group of D-alanyl carrier protein during the activation of the alanine. -!- Involved in the synthesis of teichoic acids.
