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}.
