Enzyme Information

6.3.2.45
UDP-N-acetylmuramate L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6- diaminoheptanedioate ligase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q4FVQ2
ATP + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramate + L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6- diaminoheptanedioate = ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl- gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate.
-!- The enzyme catalyzes the reincorporation into peptidoglycan of the tripeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-2,6-meso-diaminoheptanedioate released during the maturation and constant remodeling of this bacterial cell wall polymer that occur during cell growth and division. -!- The enzyme can also use the tetrapeptide L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl- meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioyl-D-alanine or the pentapeptide L-alanyl- gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine in vivo and in vitro.
