Phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase
In enzymology, a phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase (EC 2.7.8.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction UDP-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala) + undecaprenyl phosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } UMP + Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)- diphosphoundecaprenolThus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala) and undecaprenyl phosphate, whereas its 3 products are UMP, Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)-, and diphosphoundecaprenol. This enzyme participates in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. It can be expressed efficiently by a cell-free protein expression system.
