| MurNAc-L-Ala-D-isoglutaminyl-L-Lys-(N(6)-Gly)-D-Ala-D-Ala-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-GlcNAc + 2 glycyl-tRNA <=> MurNAc-L-Ala-D-isoglutaminyl-L-Lys-(N(6)-tri-Gly)-D-Ala-D-Ala-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-GlcNAc + 2 tRNA |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This enzyme catalyzes the successive transfer of two glycine moieties
from charged tRNAs to MurNAc-L-Ala-D-isoglutaminyl-L-Lys-(N(6)-Gly)-
D-Ala-D-Ala-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-GlcNAc, attaching
them to a glycine residue previously attached by EC 2.3.2.16 (FemX)
to the N(6) of the L-lysine at position 3 of the pentapeptide.
- This is the second step in the synthesis of the pentaglycine
interpeptide bridge that is used by Staphylococcus aureus for the
crosslinking of different glycan strands to each other.
- The next step is catalyzed by EC 2.3.2.18 (FemB).
- This enzyme is essential for methicillin resistance.
