CommentThis HMM describes the MurC protein in bacterial peptidoglycan (murein) biosynthesis. In a few species (Mycobacterium leprae, the Chlamydia), the amino acid may be L-serine or glycine instead of L-alanine. A related protein, UDP-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate ligase (murein tripeptide ligase) is described by HMM TIGR01081.
