L-aspartate/glutamate-specific racemase

230 amino acids

Exhibits racemase activity for both L-glutamate and L-aspartate, but has threefold higher activity for L-glutamate than L-aspartate. Cannot use D-glutamate or D-aspartate as substrate.

Belongs to the aspartate/glutamate racemases family.

Broad specificity amino-acid racemase YgeA

230 amino acids

Amino-acid racemase able to utilize a broad range of substrates. Highest activity is observed with L-homoserine and D-homoserine. Has tenfold lower activity against L-methionine, L-leucine, L-valine and L-histidine. Has low activity with L-norvaline, L-asparagine, D-methionine, L-aminobutyric acid, L-isoleucine, L-serine, L-norleucine, L-alanine, L-glutamine, LL-diaminopimelic acid and L-phenylalanine. Has no activity against ten L-amino acids (Thr, Glu, Asp, Arg, Lys, Tyr, Trp, Orn, Cit and Aad) (PubMed:28894939). D-amino acids might be used as components of peptidoglycan and/or be involved in peptidoglycan metabolism and remodeling (PubMed:28894939).

Belongs to the aspartate/glutamate racemases family.
