CATH-Gene3D typehomologous superfamily

Description
Imported from IPR027478

This superfamily represents the N-terminal of muramoyl-tetrapeptide carboxypeptidase, also known as LD-carboxypeptidase A. The enzyme hydrolyses a peptide bond between a di-basic amino acid and the C-terminal D-alanine in the tetrapeptide moiety in peptidoglycan. This cleaves the bond between an L- and a D-amino acid. This activity is has a role ine in murein recycling
