Protein
O-acetyltransferase OatA
Organism
Staphylococcus aureus (strain Mu50 / ATCC 700699)
Function
Responsible for O-acetylation at the C(6)-hydroxyl group of N-acetylmuramyl residues, forming the corresponding N,6-O-diacetylmuramic acid of the peptidoglycan. O-acetylation of the peptidoglycan is the major determinant for lysozyme resistance (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the acyltransferase 3 family.
