- UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate-L-lysine ligase
In
enzymology , an UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate-L-lysine ligase (EC number|6.3.2.7) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :ATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate + L-lysine ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP,
UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate , andL-lysine , whereas its 3 products are ADP,phosphate , andUDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
ligase s, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:L-lysine gamma-ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use include MurE synthetase, UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine synthetase, uridine diphospho-N-acetylmuramoylalanyl-D-glutamyllysine, synthetase, and UPD-MurNAc-L-Ala-D-Glu:L-Lys ligase. This enzyme participates inpeptidoglycan biosynthesis .References
