6.3.2.10

Accepted name:

UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide—D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase

Reaction:

ATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-γ-D-glutamyl-L-lysine + D-alanyl-D-alanine = ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-γ-D-glutamyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine

Other name(s):

MurF synthetase; UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine synthetase; UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanyl-D-glutamyl-lysine-D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase; uridine diphosphoacetylmuramoylpentapeptide synthetase; UDPacetylmuramoylpentapeptide synthetase; UDP-MurNAc-L-Ala-D-Glu-L-Lys:D-Ala-D-Ala ligase

Systematic name:

UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine:D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments:

Involved with EC 6.3.2.4 (D-alanine—D-alanine ligase), EC 6.3.2.7 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—L-lysine ligase) or EC 6.3.2.13 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—2,6-diaminopimelate ligase), EC 6.3.2.8 (UDP-N-acetylmuramate—L-alanine ligase) and EC 6.3.2.9 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine—D-glutamate ligase) in the synthesis of a cell-wall peptide (click here) for diagram. This enzyme also catalyses the reaction when the C-terminal residue of the tripeptide is meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (acylated at its L-centre), linking the D-Ala-D-Ala to the carboxy group of the L-centre. This activity was previously attributed to EC 6.3.2.15, which has since been deleted.
