CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Enolase-like C-terminal domain
Functional Family Dipeptide epimerase

Enzyme Information

5.1.1.20
L-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase.
based on mapping to UniProt P51981
L-alanyl-D-glutamate = L-alanyl-L-glutamate.
-!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, is involved in the recycling of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. -!- In vitro the enzyme from E.coli epimerizes several L-Ala-L-X dipeptides with broader specificity than the enzyme from B.subtilis. -!- Formerly EC 5.1.1.n1.
