differing stem peptide structures of penicillin-resistant strain 159 and penicillin-susceptible strain Pn16 are caused by the profoundly greater catalytic efficiency of MurM159 compared with MurMPn16 brought about by sequence variation between these enzymes and, to a lesser extent, differences in the in vivo tRNAAla:tRNASer ratio in strains 159 and Pn16. Enzyme MurM additionally recognizes the acceptor stem and/or the TPSIC loop stem of the tRNAAla |

MurM acts during the lipid-linked stages of peptidoglycan synthesis.The D-alanyl-D-alanine of the stem peptide and the lipid II N-acetylglucosaminyl group are not essential for substrate recognition. epsilon-Carboxylation of the lysine of the stem peptide is not tolerated.
