Abstract

l-Amino acid ligase catalyzes dipeptide synthesis from unprotected l-amino acids in an ATP- dependent manner. We have purified a new l-amino acid ligase, RizA, which synthesizes dipeptides whose N-terminus is Arg, from Bacillus subtilis NBRC3134, a microorganism that produces a rhizocticin peptide antibiotic. It was suggested that RizA is probably involved in rhizocticin biosynthesis. In this study, we performed sequence analysis of unknown ...
