The N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase of Escherichia coli and its role in murein recycling.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2004

Uehara Tsuyoshi, Park James T

Abstract excerpt

N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is a major component of bacterial cell wall murein and the lipopolysaccharide of the outer membrane. During growth, over 60% of the murein of the side wall is degraded, and the major products, GlcNAc-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl peptides, are efficiently imported into the cytoplasm and cleaved to release GlcNAc, anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid, murein tripeptide...
