Muramoyltetrapeptide carboxypeptidase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0AFV4
GlcNAc-MurNAc-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelyl-D-alanine + H(2)O = GlcNAc-MurNAc-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate + D-alanine.
-!- Variants are known from various microorganisms. -!- Involved in peptidoglycan synthesis, catalyzing both decarboxylation and transpeptidation. -!- Stimulated by divalent cations such as magnesium and calcium, but not zinc. -!- Inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents, but unaffected by penicillin.
3.4.-.-
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases).
