5.1.1.20
Accepted name
L-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase
Reaction
L-alanyl-D-glutamate = L-alanyl-L-glutamate
Other name(s)
YkfB,
YcjG,
AEE,
AE epimerase
Systematic name
L-alanyl-D-glutamate epimerase
Comment
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 Escherichia coli epimerizes several L-Ala-L-X dipeptides with broader specificity than the enzyme from Bacillus subtilis.
