== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LPP_ECOLI LPP_ECOLI] Interacts with the peptidoglycan both covalently and noncovalently. This interaction contributes to the maintenance of the structural and functional integrity of the cell envelope.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
A major challenge in protein folding is to identify and quantify specific structural determinants that allow native proteins to acquire their unique folded structures. Here we report the engineering of a 52-residue protein (Ala-14) that contains exclusively alanine residues at the hydrophobic a and d positions of a natural heptad-repeat sequence. Ala-14 is unfolded under normal solution conditions yet forms a parallel three-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil in crystals. Ala-14 trimers in the solid state associate with each other through the pairing of polar side chains and formation of an extended network of water-mediated hydrogen bonds. In contrast to the classical view that local intramolecular tertiary interactions dictate the three-dimensional structure of small single-domain proteins, Ala-14 shows that long range intermolecular interactions can be essential in determining the metastable alanine-zipper structure. A similar interplay between short range local and longer range global forces may underlie the conformational properties of the growing class of natively unstructured proteins in biological processes.

An alanine-zipper structure determined by long range intermolecular interactions.,Liu J, Lu M J Biol Chem. 2002 Dec 13;277(50):48708-13. Epub 2002 Oct 3. PMID:12368282<ref>PMID:12368282</ref>
