Function
MURT_STAAC The lipid II isoglutaminyl synthase complex catalyzes the formation of alpha-D-isoglutamine in the cell wall lipid II stem peptide (PubMed:22303291). The MurT subunit catalyzes the ATP-dependent amidation of D-glutamate residue of lipid II, converting it to an isoglutamine residue (By similarity).[UniProtKB:A0A0H3JUU7][1]
