N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase
This enzyme domain cleaves the amide bond between N-acetylmuramoyl and L-amino acids in bacterial cell walls. Characterisation of Swiss:P37134. [1]. 1495475. Genetic structure, isolation and characterization of a Bacillus licheniformis cell wall hydrolase. Kuroda A, Sugimoto Y, Funahashi T, Sekiguchi J;. Mol Gen Genet 1992;234:129-137. (from Pfam)
N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase CwlD
N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase CwlD cleaves the peptide side chain from the N-acetylmuramic acid residues in peptidoglycan, a step in the formation of muramic delta-lactam residues in spore cortex
Members of this protein family are the CwlD family of N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase. This family has been called the germination-specific N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase. CwlD is required, along with the putative deactylase PdaA, to make muramic delta-lactam, a novel peptidoglycan constituent found only in spores. CwlD mutants show a germination defect.
