Function
This enzyme is required for high-level resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics. D-Ala--D-Ala ligase of altered specificity catalyzes ester bond formation between D-Ala and various D-hydroxy acids and produces a peptidoglycan which does not terminate in D-alanine but in D-lactate, thus preventing vancomycin or teicoplanin binding.
