Template:Infobox enzyme Lipid II:glycine glycyltransferase (Template:EC number, N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine-diphosphoundecaprenyl-N-acetylglucosamine:N6-glycine transferase, femX (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name alanyl-D-alanine-diphospho-ditrans, octacis-undecaprenyl-N-acetylglucosamine:glycine N6-glycyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-N-acetylglucosamine + glycyl-tRNA N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-lysyl-(N6-glycyl)-D-alanyl-D-alanine-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-N-acetylglucosamine + tRNA
The enzyme from Staphylococcus aureus catalyses the transfer of glycine from a charged tRNA to lipid II or N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine-diphosphoundecaprenyl-N-acetylglucosamine. Template:Citation needed
