Summary
RpoS regulon. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG12440]. The mpl gene encodes UDP-N-acetylmuramate:L-alanyl--D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate ligase, which acts in murein recycling by allowing ligation of the tripeptide L-Ala-D-Glu-mesoA2pm with UDP-MurNAc and reincorporation into peptidoglycan. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG12440].
