Protein
N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase
Organism
Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila (strain ATCC 7966 / DSM 30187 / JCM 1027 / KCTC 2358 / NCIMB 9240)
Function
Specifically catalyzes the cleavage of the D-lactyl ether substituent of MurNAc 6-phosphate, producing GlcNAc 6-phosphate and D-lactate. Together with AnmK, is also required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid (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 GCKR-like family. MurNAc-6-P etherase subfamily.
