Isolation of the murI gene from Brevibacterium lactofermentum ATCC 13869 encoding D-glutamate racemase.

The murI gene encoding D-glutamate racemase plays an important role in the biosynthesis of D-glutamic acid, an essential component of cell wall peptidoglycan of almost all eubacteria. A DNA fragment that could rescue the auxotrophy of D-glutamic acid in the Escherichia coli murI mutant strain WM335 was isolated from Brevibacterium lactofermentum ATCC 13869 belonging to the coryneform bacteria. DNA sequencing reveals that it encodes a protein of 284 amino acid residues, which shows a high level of homology with D-glutamate racemases from several other bacteria.[1]
