Identification of the namH gene, encoding the hydroxylase responsible for the N-glycolylation of the mycobacterial peptidoglycan.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 7 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

The peptidoglycan of most bacteria consists of a repeating disaccharide unit of beta-1,4-linked N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. However, the muramic acid moieties of the mycobacterial peptidoglycan are N-glycolylated, not N-acetylated. This is a rare modification seen only in the pe...
