placement of D-Ala-D-ala as a Van ligase
I'm a bit confused by
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ARO_3003970
Non-van ligases that synthesize D-Ala-D-Ala, the default cell wall precursor that makes a cell vulnerable to glycopeptide antibiotics. Mutations in the ddl gene can cause the production of nonfunctional/inactivated D-Ala-D-Ala ligases, which can render bacteria glycopeptide dependent depending on the presence of vancomycin resistance clusters.
Isn't this is the default form, which doesn't confer resistance, and isn't a Van ligase?
