dapA
Description
Growth of the dapA mutant wm3064 is strictly dependent on exogenously supplied DAP; hence, the removal of DAP provides an efficient counterselection against this donor.(Dehioet al.,1997)
Diaminoheptanedioic acid (DAP) is an α-amino acid. It is an ε-carboxy derivative of lysine.
Diaminopimelic acid is a component of cell walls in certain prokaryotes, especially in the peptidoglycan chains of Gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria require DAP for normal growth. Without DAP, they can still grow but are unable to synthesize the peptidoglycan essential for their cell walls.
