MEPA, inactive form without ZN in P21MEPA, inactive form without ZN in P21
Structural highlights
1tzp is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
MEPA_ECOLI Involved in the removal of murein from the sacculus. May also facilitate integration of nascent murein strands into the sacculus by cleaving the peptide bonds between neighboring strands in mature murein.[1]
