In enzymology an UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate—L-lysine ligase (EC 6.3.2.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate + L-lysine ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysineThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate and L-lysine whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-lysine.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
