6.1.1.13

Accepted name:

D-alanine—poly(phosphoribitol) ligase

Reaction:

ATP + D-alanine + poly(ribitol phosphate) = AMP + diphosphate + O-D-alanyl-poly(ribitol phosphate)

Other name(s):

D-alanyl-poly(phosphoribitol) synthetase; D-alanine: membrane acceptor ligase; D-alanine-D-alanyl carrier protein ligase; D-alanine-membrane acceptor ligase; D-alanine-activating enzyme

Systematic name:

D-alanine:poly(phosphoribitol) ligase (AMP-forming)

Comments:

A thioester bond is formed transiently between D-alanine and the sulfhydryl group of the 4′-phosphopantetheine cofactor of D-alanyl carrier protein during the activation of the alanine. Involved in the synthesis of teichoic acids.
