Type: | Family | Name: | N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase MurQ |
Description: | MurQ is involved in recycling components of the bacterial murein sacculus turned over during cell growth. The cell wall metabolite anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid (anhMurNAc) is converted by a kinase, AnmK, to MurNAc-phosphate, then converted to N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate by this etherase, called MurQ [, ]. | Short Name: | Etherase_MurQ |
