Identification
Name:UDP-N-Acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate
DescriptionUDP-n-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate is a member of the chemical class known as Peptides. These are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another. UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate is a key component of peptidoglycan synthesis. The peptidoglycan synthesis pathway starts at the cytoplasm, where in six steps the peptidoglycan precursor a UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide is synthesized. This precursor is then attached to the memberane acceptor all-trans-undecaprenyl phosphate, generating a N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-diphosphoundecaprenol, also known as lipid I. Another transferase then adds UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine, yielding the complete monomeric unit a lipid , also known as lipid . This final lipid intermediate is transferred through the membrane. The peptidoglycan monomers are then polymerized on the outside surface by glycosyltransferases, which form the linear glycan chains, and transpeptidases, which catalyze the formation of peptide crosslinks. UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:meso-diaminopimelate ligase is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan.
