Anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9I5Q5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid (anhMurNAc) with the simultaneous cleavage of the 1,6-anhydro ring, generating MurNAc-6-P (By similarity). Is required for the utilization of anhMurNAc either imported from the medium or derived from its own cell wall murein, and thus plays a role in cell wall recycling. Contributes to intrinsic fosfomycin resistance in P.aeruginosa (PubMed:24819062).
