Systematic name: UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine:D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: Involved with EC 6.3.2.4 (D-alanine—D-alanine ligase), EC 6.3.2.7 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—L-lysine ligase) or EC 6.3.2.13 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—2,6-diaminopimelate ligase), EC 6.3.2.8 (UDP-N-acetylmuramate—L-alanine ligase) and EC 6.3.2.9 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine—D-glutamate ligase) in the synthesis of a cell-wall peptide (click here) for diagram. This enzyme also catalyses the reaction when the C-terminal residue of the tripeptide is meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (acylated at its L-centre), linking the D-Ala-D-Ala to the carboxy group of the L-centre. This activity was previously attributed to EC 6.3.2.15, which has since been deleted.

Comments: Involved in the synthesis of a cell-wall peptide in bacteria. This enzyme adds diaminopimelate in Gram-negative organisms and in some Gram-positive organisms; in others EC 6.3.2.7 (UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—L-lysine ligase) adds lysine instead. It is the amino group of the L-centre of the diaminopimelate that is acylated.
