Abstract :
[en] The subject of this chapter is d-aminopeptidase DppA. DppA is a cocatalytic zinc metallopeptidase that releases a d-amino acid from the N-terminus of a peptide. It has been characterized as Bacillus subtilis. The aminopeptidase is a compartmentalizing enzyme and forms a homodecamer arranged in a barrel-shape, with two rings of five monomers stacked with the ten active sites pointing towards the large, central cavity. Biologically, the enzyme degrades the d-Ala-d-Ala dipeptide derived from the cell wall cross-linking peptide, and the gene is expressed early in sporulation.
