| UniProt functional annotation for P39641 | |||
| UniProt code: P39641. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Part of the bacABCDEFG operon responsible for the biosynthesis of bacilysin, an irreversible inactivator of the glutaminase domain of glucosamine synthetase. Catalyzes the formation of alpha-dipeptides from various L-amino acids in the presence of ATP. In vivo catalyzes the ligation of L-alanine and L-anticapsin (epoxycyclohexanonyl-Ala) to produce the final bacilysin antibiotic (L- Ala-L-4S-cyclohexenonyl-Ala dipeptide). The substrate specificity is restricted to small amino acids such as L-Ala, for the N-terminal end of the dipeptide, whereas a wide range of hydrophobic amino acids such as L-Phe, L-Tyr and L-Met are recognized for the C-terminal end. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15609023, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16030213, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22407814, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23317005, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24702628}. | |
