Neisseria meningitidis, a gram negative bacterium, is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and severe sepsis. Neisseria meningitidis genome contains 2,160 predicted coding regions including 1,000 hypothetical genes. Re-annotation of N. meningitidis hypothetical proteins identified nine putative peptidases. Among them, the NMB1620 protein was annotated as LD-carboxypeptidase involved in peptidoglycan recycling. Structural bioinformatics studies of NMB1620 protein using homology modeling and ligand docking were carried out. Structural comparison of substrate binding site of LD-carboxypeptidase was performed based on binding of tetrapeptide substrate 'L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelyl-D-alanine'. Inspection of different subsite-forming residues showed changeability in the S1 subsite across different bacterial species. This variability was predicted to provide a structural basis to S1-subsite for accommodating different amino acid residues at P1 position of the tetrapeptide substrate 'L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelyl-D-alanine'.
