Protein
Probable undecaprenyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminyl 1-phosphate transferase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Catalyzes the formation of undecaprenyl-PP-N-acetylglucosamine. Involved in the synthesis of anionic cell-wall polymers as it mediates the initiation of the linkage unit formation that appears to be common to the two types of teichoic acids attached to the peptidoglycan of B.subtilis; may also be involved in teichuronic acid biosynthesis (Probable).
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 4 family.
