Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name D-alanine--D-alanyl carrier protein ligase
Synonyms
  1. DCL
  2. D-alanine--poly(phosphoribitol) ligase subunit 1
  3. D-alanine-activating enzyme
  4. DAE
Gene Name DLTA
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the first step in the D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), the activation of D-alanine and its transfer onto the D-alanyl carrier protein (Dcp) DltC. In an ATP-dependent two-step reaction, forms a high energy D-alanyl-AMP intermediate, followed by transfer of the D-alanyl residue as a thiol ester to the phosphopantheinyl prosthetic group of the Dcp. D-alanylation of LTA plays an important role in modulating the properties of the cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria, influencing the net charge of the cell wall.
