Short Name | S66_fam |
description | This entry includes proteins belonging to the MEROPS peptidase family S66, such as muramoyl-tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase and the microcin c7 self-immunity protein . Muramoyl-tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase, also known as 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. This activity has a role in murein recycling [, ]. |
