Penicillin-binding protein 6
The Penicillin-binding protein 6 (PBP6) is a DD-carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli which plays an important role in the creation of the bacterial cell wall. Its structure was determined by Chen et al.[1]. 3ita shows its structure as an acyl-enzyme complex with ampicillin. [2]
Function
As a DD-carboxypeptidase, the function of PBP6 is to participate in the transpeptidation which occurs during the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan. More specifically, it cleaves the peptide bond between the two terminal D-alanines of muramyl peptides. This then allows transpeptidases to create peptidoglycan cross-links which stabilise the cell wall. Ampicillin [3] [DACC_ECOLI] Removes C-terminal D-alanyl residues from sugar-peptide cell wall precursors.
