Abstract
D-amino acid transaminase (D-AAT) is able to synthesize both D-glutamate and D-alanine, according to the following reaction: D-alanine + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ D-glutamate + pyruvate. These two D-amino acids are essential components of the peptidoglycan layer of bacteria. In our recently published work, MSMEG_5795 from Mycobacterium smegmatis was identified as having D-amino acid transaminase (D-AAT) activity, although it has primarily been annotated as 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase (ADCL). To unequivocally demonstrate D-AAT activity from MSMEG_5795 protein two coupled enzyme assays were performed in series. First, D-alanine and α-ketoglutarate were converted to D-glutamate and pyruvate by MSMEG_5795 using the D-AAT assay. Next, the products of this reaction, following removal of all protein, were used as input into an assay for glutamate racemase in which D-glutamate is converted to L-glutamate by glutamate racemase (Gallo and Knowles, 1993; Poen et al., 2016). As the only source of D-glutamate in this assay would be from the reaction of D-alanine with MSMEG_5795, positive results from this assay would confirm the D-AAT activity of MSMEG_5795 and of any enzyme tested in this manner.

Background
The protocol described here in detail was developed during a study of suppressor mutants in M. smegmatis strain in which glutamate racemase (murI) had been deleted (Mortuza et al., 2018). During this work, it became apparent that a mutation in the promoter of 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase (ADCL) (MSMEG_5795) was unexpectedly able to complement the murI deletion. This mutation resulted in a more than 10-fold increased expression of MSMEG_5795. Because ADCL is homologous to D-amino acid transaminase (D-AAT), we decided to test MSMEG_5795 for D-AAT activity. The initial test which involved incubation of the enzyme with D-alanine and α-ketoglutarate was positive for activity. To be doubly sure that this protein, which was predominantly annotated as ADCL, was actually producing glutamate, we used the output of the D-AAT assay as input to the previously reported coupled assay for MurI (Tanizawa et al., 1987; Gallo and Knowles, 1993). This assay is detailed below.
