| UniProt functional annotation for P24228 | |||
| UniProt code: P24228. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Not involved in transpeptidation but exclusively catalyzes a DD-carboxypeptidase and DD-endopeptidase reaction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2046551}. | |
| 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: | Periplasm {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | In E.coli there are three murein endopeptidases: two are penicillin sensitive (DacB and PbpG), the other (MepA) not. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase S13 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
