FAMILY

anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as ANMK_THIDA, anmK. 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. 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.
