Enzyme Commission Number
EC 6.3.2.53
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
ATP + UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-muramoyl-L-alanine + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-L-glutamate
Systematic Name
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine—L-glutamate ligase (ADP-forming)
Function
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae, catalyses the ligation of a terminal L-glutamate to UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-muramoyl-L-alanine. The combined activity of this enzyme and EC 5.1.1.23, UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-L-glutamate epimerase, provides an alternative route for incorporating D-glutamate into peptidoglycan, replacing the more common combination of EC 5.1.1.3, glutamate racemase, and EC 6.3.2.9, UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine—D-glutamate ligase.
Other name
murD2 (gene name); UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-L-glutamate synthetase; UDP-MurNAc-L-Ala-L-Glu synthetase
