PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.3.2.37
Accepted Name
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate--D-lysine ligase
Alternative Name(s)
D-lysine-adding enzyme
UDP-MurNAc-L-Ala-D-Glu:D-Lys ligase
Reaction catalysed
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate + D-lysine + ATP = N(6)-(UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl)-D-lysine + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the synthesis of cell-wall peptidoglycan.
  • The D-lysine is attached to the peptide chain at the N(6) position.
  • The enzyme from Thermotoga maritima also performs the reaction of EC 6.3.2.7.
  • Formerly EC 6.3.2.n1.
