Identification
Name:L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu
DescriptionL-ala-gamma-D-glu is a member of the chemical class known as Hybrid Peptides. These are compounds containing at least two different types of amino acids (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). UDPMurNAc-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-X-D-Ala-DAla (X = L-Lys or m-DAP) is the cytoplasmic precursor for the lipid-linked cycle of bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, consisting of at least four enzymatic reactions, which are targets for antibacterial agents.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in cellular amino acid catabolic process
Specific function:
Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-D-Glu to L-Ala-L- Glu and has a role in the recycling of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component. Is also able to catalyze the reverse reaction and the epimerization of all the L-Ala-X dipeptides, except L-Ala-L-Arg, L-Ala-L-Lys and L-Ala-L-Pro. Is also active with L-Gly-L-Glu, L-Phe-L-Glu, and L-Ser-L-Glu, but not with L-Glu-L-Glu, L-Lys-L-Glu, L-Pro-L-Glu, L-Lys-L-Ala, or D- Ala-D-Ala
