undecaprenyldiphospho-muramoylpentapeptide beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase EC#: 2.4.1.227; ChemWhat Code: 1377532

Product Name undecaprenyldiphospho-muramoylpentapeptide beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Example Structure Example Structure of undecaprenyldiphospho-muramoylpentapeptide beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase EC#: 2.4.1.227
Synonyms acetylglucosaminyltransferase, uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine-acetylmuramoylpentapeptide pyrophospholipid, gene murG enzyme, gene murG proteins, Lipid I acetylglucosaminyltransferase, MurG, MurG glycosyltransferase, MurG transferase, peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase, proteins, gene murG, translocase II, UDP-acetylglucosamine-acetylmuramoylpentapeptide pyrophospholipid acetylglucosaminyltransferase
EC Number 2.4.1.227
CAS Registry Number 60976-26-3
Comments The enzyme also works when the lysine residue is replaced by meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (meso-2,6-diaminopimelate, A2pm) combined with adjacent residues through its L-centre, as it is in Gram-negative and some Gram-positive organisms. The undecaprenol involved is ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol.
