Primary Identifier | IPR027478 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Short Name | LdcA_N |
description | This superfamily represents the N-terminal of muramoyl-tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase, also known as LD-carboxypeptidase A. The enzyme hydrolyses a peptide bond between a di-basic amino acid and the C-terminal D-alanine in the tetrapeptide moiety in peptidoglycan. This cleaves the bond between an L- and a D-amino acid. This activity is has a role ine in murein recycling [, ]. Proteins containing this domain also include the microcin c7 self-immunity protein . |
