Glutamate racemase (MurI) is responsible for the synthesis of D-glutamate, an essential building block of the peptidoglycan layer in bacterial cell, walls. The crystal structure of glutamate racemase from Aquifex, pyrophilus, determined at 2.3 A resolution, reveals that the enzyme forms, a dimer and each monomer consists of two alpha/beta fold domains, a unique, structure that has not been observed in other racemases or members of an, enolase superfamily. A substrate analog, D-glutamine, binds to the deep, pocket formed by conserved residues from two monomers. The structural and, mutational analyses allow us to propose a mechanism of metal, cofactor-independent glutamate racemase in which two cysteine residues are, involved in catalysis.
