Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Metallocarboxypeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Cleavage of the bond UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-6-carboxy-L-lysyl-D-alanyl!D-alanine [RN:R08850]
Reaction(KEGG)
R08850;
(other) R04611
Comment
A bacterial enzyme that requires a divalent cation for activity. Does not cleave the C-terminal D-alanine from the product of the above reaction, UDP-N-acetyl-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-6-carboxy-L-lysyl-D-alanine. Competitively inhibited by penicillins and cephalosporins.
History
EC 3.4.17.8 created 1972 as EC 3.4.12.6, transferred 1978 to EC 3.4.17.8
