Type: | Family | Name: | N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, MurG |
Description: | The murG gene of Escherichia coliencodes the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine--N-acetylmuramyl-(pentapeptide) pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol N-acetylglucosamine transferase, responsible for the final step in the formation of the lipid-linked disaccharide-pentapeptide subunit of peptidoglycan. The enzyme is peripherally associated with the inner face of the cytoplasmic membrane. Therefore, the peptidoglycan subunit is completely assembled before it traverses the cytoplasmic membrane []. | Short Name: | GlcNAc_MurG |
