General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in cell wall formation. Catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein.

Catalytic activity

ATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-L-lysine + D-alanyl-D-alanine = ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine.

Pathway

Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MurCDEF family.
