IPR001608

Description

IPR001608 is a Alanine racemase, N-terminal.

<p>Alanine racemase plays a role in providing the D-alanine required for cell wall biosynthesis by isomerising L-alanine to D-alanine.</p> <p>The molecular structure of alanine racemase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 1.9 A [[cite:PUB00000440]]. The alanine racemase monomer is composed of two domains, an eight-stranded α/β barrel at the N terminus, and a C-terminal domain essentially composed of β-strands. The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) cofactor lies in and above the mouth of the α/β barrel and is covalently linked via an aldimine linkage to a lysine residue, which is at the C terminus of the first β-strand of the α/β barrel.</p> <p>This N-terminal domain is also found in the PROSC (proline synthetase co-transcribed bacterial homologue) family of proteins, which are not known to have alanine racemase activity.</p>
