EC 4.2.1.126 Details
EC number
4.2.1.126
Accepted name
N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase
Reaction
(R)-lactate + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate = N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate + H2O
Other name(s)
MurNAc-6-P etherase, MurQ
Systematic name
(R)-lactate hydro-lyase (adding N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate; N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate-forming)
Comment
This enzyme, along with EC 2.7.1.170, anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase, is required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid in proteobacteria. The substrate is either imported from the medium or derived from the bacterium’s own cell wall murein during cell wall recycling.
