| UniProt functional annotation for P15555 | |||
| UniProt code: P15555. |
| Organism: | Streptomyces sp. (strain R61). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptomycetales; Streptomycetaceae; Streptomyces. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes distinct carboxypeptidation and transpeptidation reactions during the last stages of wall peptidoglycan synthesis. Mistaking a beta-lactam antibiotic molecule for a normal substrate (i.e. a D-alanyl-D-alanine-terminated peptide), it becomes immobilized in the form of a long-lived, serine-ester-linked acyl enzyme and thus behave as penicillin-binding protein (PBP). | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Preferential cleavage: (Ac)(2)-L-Lys-D-Ala-|-D-Ala. Also transpeptidation of peptidyl-alanyl moieties that are N-acyl substituents of D-alanine.; EC=3.4.16.4; | |
| Pathway: | Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase S12 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
