ENTRY       EC 3.4.17.14
NAME        Zinc D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypeptidase
            Zn2+ G peptidase
            D-Alanyl-D-alanine hydrolase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases)
            Metallocarboxypeptidases
REACTION    Cleavage of the bond: (Ac)2-L-lysyl-D-alanyl+D-alanine
SUBSTRATE   (Ac)2-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine
            H2O
PRODUCT     (Ac)2-L-lysyl-D-alanine
            D-Alanine
EFFECTOR    Zinc
COMMENT     A zinc enzyme. Catalyses carboxypeptidation but not
            transpeptidation reactions involved in bacterial cell wall
            metabolism. Weakly inihibited by beta-lactams. Distinct from
            serine-type D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypepetidase, EC 3.4.16.4.
