L,D-carboxypeptidases cleave L,D-configured peptide bonds present in the subunits of peptidoglycan components found in the cell walls of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The presence of this enzymatic activity in a eukaryotic protein may therefore mediate a response to bacterial pathogens. (Adapted from FBrf0180474.)
Notes on Group
The L,D-CARBOXYPEPTIDASES gene group contains only one member.
