Protein Domain : D-alanine--D-alanine ligase, N-terminal domain IPR011127

Type	Domain
Description	This entry represents the N-terminal region of the D-alanine--D-alanine ligase enzyme ( ) which is thought to be involved in substrate binding [ , ]. D-Alanine is one of the central molecules of the cross-linking step of peptidoglycan assembly. There are three enzymes involved in the D-alanine branch of peptidoglycan biosynthesis: the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent D-alanine racemase (Alr), the ATP-dependent D-alanine:D-alanine ligase (Ddl), and the ATP-dependent D-alanine:D-alanine-adding enzyme (MurF) [].
