ABSTRACT
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.
摘要
MurQ 是一种
N
-乙酰
胞壁酸磷酸(MurNAc-P)乙
酯酶,可将 MurNAc-P 转化为
N
-乙酰
葡糖胺磷酸盐,是以 MurNAc 为唯一碳源的生长所必需的(T. Jaegar、M. Arsic 和 C. Mayer,J. Biol.Chem.
280:
30100-30106, 2005).在这里,我们发现 MurQ 是大肠杆菌中唯一的 MurNAc-P 乙酶。
大肠杆菌
而且 MurQ 和 AnmK 激酶是利用从细胞壁
金黄色葡萄蛋白或从
培养基中导入的脱
水-MurNAc 所必需的。
