It is generated by lytic transglycosylases and further degraded and recycled by various enzymes. We have identified and characterized a highly specific N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase (AmiA) from Bacteroides uniformis, a member of the DUF1460 protein family, that hydrolyzes GlcNAc-1,6-anhydro-MurNAc-peptide into disaccharide and stem peptide. The high-resolution apo structure at 1.15 A resolution shows that AmiA is related to NlpC/P60 gamma-D-Glu-meso-diaminopimelic acid amidases and shares a common catalytic core and cysteine peptidase-like active site. AmiA has evolved structural adaptations that reconfigure the substrate recognition site. The preferred substrates for AmiA were predicted in silico based on structural and bioinformatics data, and subsequently were characterized experimentally. Further crystal structures of AmiA in complexes with GlcNAc-1,6-anhydro-MurNAc and GlcNAc have enabled us to elucidate substrate recognition and specificity. DUF1460 is highly conserved in structure and defines another amidase family. Structure-guided functional characterization of DUF1460 reveals a highly specific NlpC/P60 amidase family.,Xu Q, Mengin-Lecreulx D, Patin D, Grant JC, Chiu HJ, Jaroszewski L, Knuth MW, Godzik A, Lesley SA, Elsliger MA, Deacon AM, Wilson IA Structure. 2014 Dec 2;22(12):1799-1809. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2014.09.018.
