the enzyme of the Gram-positive bacterium discriminates between L-lysine and D,L-diaminopimelic acid, the predominant amino acid that replaces L-lysine in Gram-negative peptidoglycan. Despite the absolute specificity for L-lysine, Staphylococcus aureus MurE binds this substrate relatively poorly. In vivo analysis and metabolomic data reveal that this is compensated for by high cytoplasmic L-lysine concentrations |

the third amino acid added to the peptide stem of peptidoglycan is usually either meso-diaminopimelic acid (in most Gram-negative bacteria), EC 6.3.2.13, or L-lysine (in most Gram-positive bacteria), EC 6.3.2.7 |
