CC -!- FUNCTION: Catalyzes the formation of the pentaglycine interpeptide
CC bridge, which is characteristic of the S.aureus peptidoglycan. Adds
CC glycines 4 and 5 of the pentaglycine bridge, using glycyl-tRNA(Gly) as
CC donor (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC Reaction=2 glycyl-tRNA(Gly) + MurNAc-L-Ala-D-isoglutaminyl-L-Lys-(N(6)-
CC tri-Gly)-D-Ala-D-Ala-diphospho-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl-GlcNAc
CC = 2 H(+) + MurNAc-L-Ala-D-isoglutaminyl-L-Lys-(N(6)-penta-Gly)-D-Ala-
CC D-Ala-diphospho-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl-GlcNAc + 2 tRNA(Gly);

CC ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78522; EC=2.3.2.18;
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with FemA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Since cross-linking between the peptide strands is
CC critical for maintaining stability of the cell wall, FemB is a
CC potential target for the development of new antibacterial agents.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FemABX family. {ECO:0000305}.
