FunFam 19: Dipeptide epimerase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
L-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase. [EC: 5.1.1.20]
L-alanyl-D-glutamate = L-alanyl-L-glutamate.
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, is involved in the recycling of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component.
  • In vitro the enzyme from E.coli epimerizes several L-Ala-L-X dipeptides with broader specificity than the enzyme from B.subtilis.
  • Formerly EC 5.1.1.n1.
