[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDT2_MYCTO LDT2_MYCTO] Generates 3->3 cross-links in peptidoglycan, catalyzing the cleavage of the mDap(3)-D-Ala(4) bond of a tetrapeptide donor stem and the formation of a bond between the carbonyl of mDap(3) of the donor stem and the side chain of mDap(3) of the acceptor stem. Is specific for donor substrates containing a stem tetrapeptide since it cannot use pentapeptide stems. Is essential for virulence in a mouse model of acute infection.<ref>PMID:20305661</ref> | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LDT2_MYCTO LDT2_MYCTO] Generates 3->3 cross-links in peptidoglycan, catalyzing the cleavage of the mDap(3)-D-Ala(4) bond of a tetrapeptide donor stem and the formation of a bond between the carbonyl of mDap(3) of the donor stem and the side chain of mDap(3) of the acceptor stem.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
With multidrug-resistant cases of tuberculosis increasing globally, better antibiotic drugs and novel drug targets are becoming an urgent need. Traditional beta-lactam antibiotics that inhibit D,D-transpeptidases are not effective against mycobacteria, in part because mycobacteria rely mostly on L,D-transpeptidases for biosynthesis and maintenance of their peptidoglycan layer. This reliance plays a major role in drug resistance and persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections. The crystal structure at 1.7 A resolution of the Mtb L,D-transpeptidase Ldt(Mt2) containing a bound peptidoglycan fragment, reported here, provides information about catalytic site organization as well as substrate recognition by the enzyme. Based on our structural, kinetic, and calorimetric data, we propose a catalytic mechanism for Ldt(Mt2) in which both acyl-acceptor and acyl-donor substrates reach the catalytic site from the same, rather than different, entrances. Together, this information provides vital insights to facilitate development of drugs targeting this validated yet unexploited enzyme. | |||
