UniProt functional annotation for P35150

UniProt code: P35150.

Organism: Bacillus subtilis (strain 168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors (PubMed:3933484). Required specifically for the synthesis of the spore form of peptidoglycan (cortex) (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3933484, ECO:0000305|PubMed:3080407}.
 
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; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:3933484};
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 7-8.5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3933484};
Pathway: Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
Subcellular location: Forespore outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3080407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3933484}; Peripheral membrane protein.
Developmental stage: Expressed at about stage III of sporulation. Specifically enriched in stage IV forespores but not in stage IV mother cells (PubMed:3933484, PubMed:3080407). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3080407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3933484}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S11 family. {ECO:0000305}.
