MurQ is an N-acetylmuramic acid-phosphate (MurNAc-P) etherase that converts MurNAc-P to N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate and is essential for growth on MurNAc as the sole source of carbon (T. Jaegar, M. Arsic, and C. Mayer, J. Biol. Chem. 280:30100-30106, 2005). Here we show that MurQ is the only MurNAc-P etherase in Escherichia coli and that MurQ and AnmK kinase are required for utilization of anhydro-MurNAc derived either from cell wall murein or imported from the medium.
MurQ是一种N - 乙酰胞壁酸 - 磷酸(MurNAc - P)醚酶,可将MurNAc - P转化为N - 乙酰葡糖胺 - 磷酸,并且对于以MurNAc作为唯一碳源的生长至关重要(T. 耶格尔、M. 阿尔西克和C. 迈耶,《生物化学杂志》280:30100 - 30106,2005年)。在此我们表明,MurQ是大肠杆菌中唯一的MurNAc - P醚酶,并且MurQ和AnmK激酶是利用源自细胞壁胞壁质或从培养基中导入的脱水MurNAc所必需的。
