A flavoprotein (FAD). NADH can to a lesser extent replace NADPH.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Pseudomonas aeruginosa The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea
the nicotinamide ring of NADP+ stacks against the si face of the isoalloxazine ring of FAD, suggesting an unusual mode of hydride transfer to flavin. Both substrates share the binding site located between two lobes of the substrate-binding domain III, consistent with a ping pong mechanism with sequential substrate binding, structural analysis of the first half-reaction, overview
peptidoglycan recycling I, UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide biosynthesis I (meso-diaminopimelate containing), UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide biosynthesis II (lysine-containing), UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide biosynthesis III (meso-diaminopimelate containing)
Substrates: structural analysis of the first half-reaction, hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD using the crystal structure of the enzyme in ternary complex with FAD and NADP+, overview. Enzyme MurB is a type I UNAGEP reductase Products: -
PaMurB crystal structure contains a potassium ion in the active site. The potassium ion displays a pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry with two main chain oxygen atoms (Ala237, Ser239), one side chain carboxyl oxygen atom from Glu-335, one side chain oxygen atom of Asn-57 and the O7n oxygen atom of the nicotinamide ring as ligands. The potassium ion activates MurB by facilitating substrate orientation and binding
