aminotransferase class IV
The D-amino acid transferases (D-AAT) are required by bacteria to catalyse the synthesis of D-glutamic acid and D-alanine, which are essential constituents of bacterial cell wall and are the building block for other D-amino acids. Despite the difference in the structure of the substrates, D-AATs and L-ATTs have strong similarity. Crystal structure. [1]. 7626635.

D-amino-acid transaminase
This enzyme is a homodimer. The pyridoxal phosphate attachment site is the Lys at position 146 of the seed alignment, in the motif Cys-Asp-Ile-Lys-Ser-Leu-Asn. Specificity is broad for various D-amino acids, and differs among members of the family; the family is designated equivalog, but with this caveat attached.
