 CAZy ~ Carbohydrate-Active enZymes
|
| GlycosylTransferase Family 51 |
| Known Activities | murein polymerase (EC 2.4.1.129). |
| Mechanism | Inverting |
| Catalytic Nucleophile/Base | Glu |
| 3D Structure Status | Fold: lysozyme-type |
| Note | There are two categories of enzymes in this family : monofunctional (just the GT51 module) or bifunctional (GT51 module attached to a penicillin-binding transpeptidase module). These enzymes utilise Und-PP-MurAc-(GlcNAc)-pentapeptide as the sugar donor. |
