Scission of the lactyl ether bond of N-acetylmuramic acid by Escherichia coli "etherase".

The Journal of biological chemistry - 26 Aug 2005

Jaeger Tina, Arsic Momo, Mayer Christoph

Abstract excerpt

The ubiquitous bacterial cell wall sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) carries a unique D-lactyl ether substituent at the C3 position. Recently, we proposed an etherase capable of cleaving this lactyl ether to be part of the novel bacterial MurNAc dissimilation pathway (Dahl, U., Jaeger, T., Nguyen, B. T., Sattler, J. M., Mayer, C. (2004) J. Bacteriol. 186, 2385-2392). Here, we report the identification of the...
