Protein name

RecName: Full=UDP-N-acetylmuramoylalanine--D-glutamate ligase; EC=6.3.2.9; AltName: Full=UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate synthetase; AltName: Full=D-glutamic acid-adding enzyme;

Gene name

murD

FUNCTION: Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the addition of glutamate to the nucleotide precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA) (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine + glutamate = ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate.

PATHWAY: Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the murCDEF family.
