Other Description -
Swissprots O07101 P22188
Accessions AAC73196 NP_414627
Function Catalyzes the addition of meso-diaminopimelic acid to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate (UMAG) in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. Is also able to use many meso-diaminopimelate analogs as substrates, although much less efficiently, but not L-lysine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11124264, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2269304, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3905407}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Top Pathways Peptidoglycan biosynthesis, Lysine biosynthesis
