Protein
Germination-specific N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Cleaves the peptide side chain from the N-acetylmuramic acid residues in peptidoglycan. This is a step in the formation of muramic delta-lactam residues in spore cortex.
Similarity
Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 3 family.
