Lysostaphin endopeptidase-catalysed transpeptidation reactions of the imino-transfer type.
The glycylglycine endopeptidase in lysostaphin has been found capable of catalysing both hydrolysis and transpeptidation reactions when acting on glycyl peptides. The ability of the enzyme to utilize dansyldiglycine (5-dimethylaminoaphthalene-1-sulphonylglycylglycine) as an acceptor molecule in transpeptidation reactions, although it is incapable of hydrolysing the peptide bond in this compound, indicates the enzyme must be capable of forming the equivalent of an imino-enzyme intermediate during the catalytic process.
