Protein
Anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase 2
Organism
Jannaschia sp. (strain CCS1)
Function
Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid (anhMurNAc) with the simultaneous cleavage of the 1,6-anhydro ring, generating MurNAc-6-P. Is required for the utilization of anhMurNAc either imported from the medium or derived from its own cell wall murein, and thus plays a role in cell wall recycling.
Similarity
Belongs to the anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase family.
