Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | D-alanine--D-alanine ligase/VANA/B/C, conserved site |
Description: | D-alanine--D-alanine ligase () is a bacterial enzyme involved in cell-wall biosynthesis. It participates in forming UDP-N-acetylmuramyl pentapeptide, the peptidoglycan precursor.These enzymes are proteins of 300 to 360 amino acids containing many conserved regions. The N-terminal Gly-rich region could be involved in ATP-binding []. | Short Name: | D-Ala_lig_Van_CS |
