Inenzymology, aD-alanine—D-alanine ligase (EC6.3.2.4) is anenzyme thatcatalyzes thechemical reaction
Thus, the twosubstrates of this enzyme areATP andD-alanine, whereas its 3products areADP,phosphate, andD-alanyl-D-alanine.
This enzyme belongs to the family ofATP-graspligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases). Thesystematic name of this enzyme class isD-alanine:D-alanine ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use includealanine:alanine ligase (ADP-forming), andalanylalanine synthetase. This enzyme participates ind-alanine metabolism andpeptidoglycan biosynthesis.Phosphinate andD-cycloserine are known toinhibit this enzyme.
The N-terminal region of the D-alanine—D-alanine ligase is thought to be involved insubstratebinding, while the C-terminus is thought to be acatalytic domain.[1]
As of late 2007, 8structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, withPDB accession codes1IOV,1IOW,2DLN,2FB9,2I80,2I87, and2I8C.
