ENTRY       EC 3.4.24.32
NAME        beta-Lytic metalloendopeptidase
            Myxobacter beta-lytic proteinase
            Achromopeptidase component
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases)
            Metalloendopeptidases
REACTION    Cleavage of N-acetylmuramoyl+Ala, and of the insulin B chain at
            Gly23+Phe > Val18+Cys(SO2H)
SUBSTRATE   N-Acetylmuramoyl-Ala
            Protein
            Peptide
            H2O
            Bacterial cell wall
PRODUCT     N-Acetylmuramate
            L-Alanine
            Protein
            Peptide
COMMENT     From Achromobacter lyticus and Lysobacter enzymogenes.  Digests
            bacterial cell walls. Not a homologue of thermolysin.  Formerly
            EC 3.4.99.13 and included in EC 3.4.24.4.  Myxobacter AL-1
            proteinase I (formerly EC 3.4.99.29) also has characteristics of
            this enzyme.
