Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Cell wall formation. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates. The enzyme has a penicillin-insensitive transglycosylase N-terminal domain (formation of linear glycan strands) and a penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain (cross-linking of the peptide subunits).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY [GlcNAc-(1->4)-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)](n)-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate = [GlcNAc-(1->4)-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)](n+1)-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Preferential cleavage: (Ac)2-L-Lys-D-Ala-|-D-Ala. Also transpeptidation of peptidyl-alanyl moieties that are N-acyl substituents of D-alanine.PATHWAY Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis.SUBUNIT Forms a trimeric complex with MipA and MltA. Has also been shown to exist as monomer or homodimer; homodimer of Alpha and Gamma isozymes can be found. Interacts with UvrA, FtsL and FtsN.INTERACTION The UvrB domain 2 homolog region (UB2H domain) is important for interaction with MltA.MISCELLANEOUS A third isozyme, Beta, lacking the first 25 N-terminal amino acids of the isoform Alpha and a fourth isozyme, Delta, have been found, but seem to result from the artifactual degradation of the isoform Alpha and isoform Gamma respectively.SIMILARITY In the N-terminal section; belongs to the glycosyltransferase 51 family.SIMILARITY In the C-terminal section; belongs to the transpeptidase family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
