ID 2.3.2.1 DE D-glutamyltransferase. AN D-glutamyl transpeptidase. CA (1) D-glutamate + D-glutamine = gamma-D-glutamyl-D-glutamate + NH4(+). CA (2) L(or D)-glutamine + (gamma-D-glutamyl)n-[peptide] = NH3 + (gamma-D- CA glutamyl)n+1-[peptide]. CC -!- The enzyme catalyzes two reactions; the first is the transfer of a CC glutamyl residue from L- or D-glutamine to D-glutamate via a gamma CC linkage, forming gamma-glutamyl-D-glutamate, and the second is the CC transfer of additional glutamyl residues to the peptide, extending CC the polypeptide chain. //
