Abstract excerpt
Penicillin-binding protein 5 (PBP 5) of Escherichia coli functions as a d-alanine carboxypeptidase, cleaving the C-terminal d-alanine residue from cell wall peptides. Like all PBPs, PBP 5 forms a covalent acyl-enzyme complex with beta-lactam antibiotics; however, PBP 5 is distinguished by its high rate of deacylation of the acyl-enzyme complex (t(12) approximately 9 min). A Gly-105 --> Asp mutation in PBP 5...
