| Primary Identifier | IPR027461 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Short Name | Carboxypeptidase_A_C_sf |
| description | This superfamily represents the C-terminal domain of the LD-carboxypeptidase A. Muramoyl-tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase or LD-carboxypeptidase A 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. The function of this activity is in murein recycling [, ]. Proteins containing this domain alsoinclude the microcin c7 self-immunity protein []and microcin immunity protein MccF []. |
