PBP5.
Penicillin binding protein 5.
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-tetrapeptidyl-D-alanine alanine-hydrolase.
Reaction catalysed
Cleavage of the bond UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-6-carboxy-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-\|-D-alanine
Cofactor(s)
Zn(2+).
Comment(s)
Does not cleave the C-terminal D-alanine from the product of the above reaction, UDP-N-acetyl-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-6- carboxy-L-lysyl-D-alanine. Competitively inhibited by penicillins and cephalosporins. Belongs to peptidase family M15. Formerly EC 3.4.12.6.
